Classic Compendium Two contains 5 classic game's from the 'East' these are;

• Shogi
• Chinese Chess
• Gomoku
• Chinese Checkers
• TaiPei

The game has various in-game options to keep to most avid puzzle fan happy ranging from skill levels, to various music tracks and you can even change the colours of playing pieces and backgrounds.

Nothing to write home about, but the boards and pieces are all very 'sharp' and easy to see, nothing blends in with anything to accidentally make a mistake with.

They all have a distinctive look to them, with solid shaded colours being used, each object being boldly outlined.

The other minor niggle I would have but again it's probably to be expected, is when the skill level goes up the computer some times takes an age working out his next move, but i as i said its the norm in these kind of games but with a 400mhz processor inside the Giz i would expect it a little faster than it is.

Really nice ambient music on this game, it was a real surprise when turning on the game being greeted with some relaxing music.

The only way I can describe the type of music is by saying it's a cross between something like Enya and pan pipes but without the pipes! But either way it's some very nice and relaxing music that suits the games very well.

It probably sums it up quite nicely when I'm playing along in bed (the Gizmondo that is!) and my girlfriend asks me to turn the music up as she thinks it sounds lovely.

Simple and easy to work out the control's as you would expect in a puzzle game compilation like this, the menu's are easy to navigate through and to change options.

A couple of things I didn't like about the games, for example when playing Shogi, some of the pieces are very similar you find yourself looking very closely at the screen to notice a difference!

The best games of the compilation for me are Shogi and Chinese Chess.

• Soothing Tunes
• Very Addictive

Its only for a limited audience, and at first you may wonder why you purchased it, but when you get into the games it so becomes clear its nice playable selection of games that make the hours fly-by.

For £20 it's not great value compared to mobile phone compilations that are under half that price and loses a point for not being a £10.

Even against the first Compendium pack it scores a slightly lower score, mainly due to half the games people won't have ever played before.

• No 3D Modes
• Limited Appeal
