«©NCSX» Virtual mahjong isn't much fun with two people... unless the other person is an idol of some stripe and stripping is involved. To make mahjong somewhat fun and avoid the skin trade at the same time, Magnolia unleashes a 4-player MJ game where gamers challenge three CPU controlled players. On paper, the game sounds like a barrel of laughs but given that this is a budget title being released near the end of the PS2 life cycle, things aren't as fun once the action begins.. First impressions of the mahjong game: Public domain software released by a high school student with 2 years of programming school under his belt. The presentation isn't bad but the execution is amateurish and there's a strange camera feature included in the game: You can look at every other player's MJ tiles with the camera rotation function. Press the trigger buttons and the camera pans around the table and all of your opponent's tiles are revealed.
Janpai Tori is better known as Shanghai in the States and players are prompted to click on matching tiles to remove them from the screen. Again, the game doesn't look bad but the execution is poor with a hand pointer that moves as slow as molasses... «NCS Game Notes»
