An interesting concept that falls flat Review by Jasmine

The main selling point for Stonehenge is that you are essentially getting five games in one. Essentially, the developers of the game first made the components of the game and then sent the components to five famous designers who then created a full game out of it, with rules and everything.

This is sort of like the real life Stonehenge, as the purpose of the standing rocks is a still a mystery to modern researchers. You get a racing game, a battle game, a political game, an auction game, and a bluffing game.

Each game only has a few pages of rules that are not always clear, revealing very simple mechanics. The games themselves are very lackluster and unimpressive. If you are particularly interested in playing a racing game or auction game, go get one that is dedicated to its mechanic. Even purchasing the games that made the 5 designers famous is more worth your time and money.

Stonehenge represents a really nice idea that I would not mind other developers experiment with again. However, the end result must show that more effort and testing was done in order to really get fans excited. (Posted on 12/8/09)
