What's It About?
In MAHJONG CUB3D , players are treated to the timeless classic game of Mahjong, but there are some twists to keep it fresh and interesting. The highlight is a \"Cube\" mode that presents Mahjong tiles spread throughout the nine sides of a 3D cube, adding a completely new sense of strategy for even veteran Mahjong players. There is also a classic mode to play through the time-honored version of Mahjong, as well as a versus mode.
Is It Any Good?
Mahjong Cub3d is a fresh and interesting take on the classic Mahjong board game, while still keeping the addicting and replayable qualities that make Mahjong a timeless game. The "Cube" mode not only creates a brand new sense of strategy to the game, but it also shows off the 3DS's 3D capabilities surprisingly well, making it look as though players can literally reach inside and grab the cube of tiles. Even though there's nothing radically different about this game that has been played for centuries, it would make a great addition to the 3DS library of any puzzle game fan.
