i.Game 16 Mahjong app good for
Im just glad they have a real Mahjong game, and not one of those matching tile games. I am only a casual Mahjong player so I dont really know the details on the scoring, but the gameplay is exactly how I play. Pretty good looking graphics, though the animation can be smoother. I would also suggest that the Pong and Chow have a timer (maybe 2-3 secs) to simulate the intensity of having to make such decisions in a real game. I recommend for any player who wants to play Mahjong on their Iphone!
The app is in Chinese right now, but an English version will be included in the next update. That being said, I found it easy to play even though I cannot read Chinese. Growing up I use to play, so I understood the rules and gameplay. If youre a beginner, wait until the English version comes out. If you know how to play already and want to get a Mahjong app, get this one. The controls are easy, the gameplay is fair and its endless hours of fun. Its easy as picking a tile and flicking it into the discard pile and you can even zoom in on tiles to get a closer look. Only thing I would have liked is having an undo button if you accidently flick the wrong tile. Other than that, this is a great Mahjong app!
I have this and the china mahjong game. I prefer this one by far. Really good speed and love the Taiwan-style scoring. One minor complaint is the graphics are not great, so minus .5 stars for that.
I am a kid and I love this game. Easy to play with instruction and good for warm up it brain. Soooooo awesome
Terrific app, lovely tile set that looks real in magnified view, good gameplay and, now, more accessible for English speakers, too. My only complaint is that when I completed the rounds of all four winds, no winner was declared but, rather, the game went back to East/East and continued. I did change graphic and sound options mid-game, but that shouldnt have made a difference. Of the growing number of REAL mah jong games out there, this and China Mahjong are my favorites. Now Im looking for a good one with Japanese Riich rules. But for a 16-tile version, look no further.
Ive already spent too many hours playing the game - its that addictive if you are into mahjong. I would like the ability to play my music as opposed to the packaged music.
Some bad moments
I won the game. Other player been credited that win. More than once. Should be bugs.
Almost a year & no updates.
This is ok. But not as challenging as it could be. Also no end to games.
Although this game is fun. There are many bugs. For example both winds and dragons will come out with 5 tiles each (instead of 4). Also, sometimes when Im ready to 自摸, the program forces me to throw a tile away, instead of letting me declare a win. Another bug is, sometimes Im not given the choice to ignore a 吃 or 碰, and instead draw a tile. I have to accept the 吃 or 碰, otherwise will not be allowed to continue. To the developers please fix these bugs so I can feed my mahjong addiction.
I would really like to return this game because i thought it would be alot funner because it came out to be relaly bad so dont buy this app!
Something is wrong here. Since I installed the game, my phone goes nuts at random times, and really messes up if I get a text message while playing. Malware??????
Its so bad, that I have deleted the game.
I have been watching the game play for a while, and its not that there is a good AI; the "players" are dealt durn near winning hands from the start. There are pungs, chows etc. from the turn of the first card.
Also, the high score does not update, and the tile voice option has only worked one time out of many games.
Ive played nearly 700 games. Scoring is inconsistent and the game is definately skewed toward AI players winning. In race mode, once an AI players score drops below a certain point, they suddenly have a winning streak. Also the same thing happens in reverse when I hit my high score. Ive hit the same high score 7 times and suddenly loose several thousand points. The game could be really cool as it has a realistic feel to it, but something is not right.
