XBLA: Uno
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 28/07/2007 12:46:47I recently bought a wireless headset and Xbox Live Vision Camera for my Xbox 360 - mainly because they double as a webcam for my laptop for when I leave for Canada. The Xbox Live Arcade game of Uno came free with the camera - and it's quite a nifty little game.
Uno
The card game of Uno was a favourite of mine as a youngster - even though the deck of cards was larger than my head. That popular card game is re-created excellently as an Xbox Live Arcade game, allowing 4-player online play, chat with an Xbox headset and video through the Vision camera (it'd be silly to include it with the camera if it didn't).
The graphics are un-important (although there are some nice downloadable custom decks), the music gets monotonous (but you should be listening to all of the Live teenagers bragging about pwning you) and replayability depends on how much you like playing Uno.
But if you enjoy the occasional game of Uno, the multiplayer lobby is very slick, there's room for heaps of customisation in terms of game rules, and the camera / headset support fosters an enjoyable online experience (as long as your opponents aren't all buttmunches). 4 out of 5.

Next-Gen + (Uno + PoP) = Sad You have a next-gen console and your two favourite games are Uno and Prince of Persia. Very sad Joel  Regards, Your mate back home (wishing he had a 360) # Posted - 04/09/2007 21:12:11 |

Me + Uno > You / an ass-whooping I'm not 100% on the math Uno deserves ridicule, but when you do get your 360 - you really need to download Prince of Persia for nostalgia reasons. Anyway - I'm playing Oblivion at the moment - that's a sweet game! Logged about 50 hours so far. # Posted - 06/09/2007 14:41:25 |
