"Of the five on-disc games, Boggle and Yahtzee prove to be the most enjoyable, offering instant gratification either with multiple players or solo play. That every game is playable online – and compatible with those who have purchased the Xbox LIVE Arcade releases – is a saving grace, as both Sorry! and Sorry!
