GameFocus: (XBLA) Family Game Night: Sorry

GameFocus writes: "The tradition of Family Game Night is a time old tradition. EA's Bright Light studio is bringing that tradition back with console versions of Hasbro's classics in their new friendly compilation title, Hasbro Family Game Night. After reviewing Hasbro Family Game Night's first four launch titles (Battleship, Connect Four, Scrabble, and Yahtzee) a few weeks back, now we take a look at one of the two latest additions: Sorry!"

Pros

+ Board looks nice, easy to surf interface
+ Playing with cards instead of dice is actually fun
+ Advanced mode for skilled players
+ One of the most fun titles of all six Family Game Night titles

Cons

- AI will beat you often, gets frustrating if you don't use strategy
- Sound effects aren't very present
