Chess Classics Review
Multiple options, bonus backgammon game make up for lackluster graphics
by Peter Cohen, Macworld.com
For $10, you might wonder what you get with Gameloft’s Chess Classics that you don’t with other, less expensive iPhone games. The answer is, quite a bit. Chess Classics doesn’t just give you chess, but it also provides a fun backgammon game. You also get loads of capabilities and options, mini-games and challenges. Unfortunately, the interface doesn’t work that well and the graphics leave something to be desired, too.
