Carcassonne is a tile game. You place tiles in order to earn points. Whoever has the most points wins the game.

The gameplay is simple yet also very strategic. At first you may play the game and think that there is little strategy is involved. However the deeper you play into this game the more strategy is involved. Although you may not need as much strategy against the A.I. you'll definitly need it for multiplayer. Wether your playing online or on the same console playing against a human opponents is much better.

So if your looking for a single player game, this game probably won't deliver to your expectations. Although it is fun you'll probably get over it over time as the expert difficulty isn't that difficult. Once you've beat that you may try and mess with the rules a bit and play out a few more games but it will likely wear out on you.

However, if your looking for a game with same console or Live multiplayer this game is really fun. Another human adds extra difficulty and extra fun to the game. Some games can become really tense as you look for just that one piece.

Their is some problems with the presentation of the game. Like the Gamespot review said the camera does get a bit far out when nearing the end of the game. Luckily there is a zoom in option so if you have to you'll have to zoom in,

All in all, for an arcade game that's only 800 points it is well worth the cost. It is immersive to play with others and provides for a family fun game. Despite minor problems this is still a great game.
