XLA: Chessmaster

Voici la note de TeamXbox: 8

If you’ve got a Xbox 360 and are a fan of chess, the truth of the matter is that you really don’t have all that many options in terms of getting your fix. Thankfully, Ubisoft saw fit to make sure that Chessmaster Live would be a solid enough game to impress most players, even if the Xbox Live Arcade market was flooded with chess titles. Whether you’re new to the game or a member of the old high-school chess club, you’ll find the Chessmaster series still holds the crown as “King” of the sixty-four-squared board.

Voici celle d'IGN: 6.4 ... .

7.0 Presentation
There are some nice touches that separate it from the rest of the XBLA field but there’s only so much you can do with chess.

5.0 Graphics
Confusing lighting makes it tough to ascertain which pieces are yours. Art direction could be much better.

6.0 Sound
Odd techno riffs mix in with tunes that will remind you of a piano bar populate the menus. Everything else is lifeless.

6.5 Gameplay
Solid AI variations will please chess diehards. More single-player modes would have helped a lot. The ability to save replays is a nice touch.

7.0 Lasting Appeal
If you’re into chess then you’ll be busy for some time tackling the different AI types. Not much to keep chess newbies entertained.
