5-in-1 Solitaire is a fun game to be sure, but it suffers from two big problems. The first is that you can generally get this game for free on any standard computer. The second is that you can get the exact same game for your DSi for only $2 instead of paying $5 for the WiiWare version. Both of these issues should keep anyone with the slightest degree of rational thinking from buying this.
However, if you absolutely love Solitaire there are two versions of the game you usually can't find on a computer, which are Golf and Gaps. Golf is a lot of fun, while Gaps is just stupid. If you want to pay a dollar per Solitaire mode, it's not an awful deal – just an illogical ones for the reasons stated
There are other, better Minis out there, but for those who like solitaire, this is the one to get. The game is stable enough, with minimal load times, and the only problem is the clunky menu and horrendous artwork.
Wii owners will be pleased to know that there are two new action thrillers now available on WiiWare: Pearl Harbor Trilogy - 1941: Red Sun Rising and Kung Fu Funk - Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting!. Nintendo DSi fans won't be disappointed, as four new games have been added to the mix: Soul of Darkness, 4 TRAVELLERS - Play French, 5 in 1 Solitaire and 3D Space Tank.
With so many DSiWare games hitting the DSi Shop -- and with DSi owners having the ability to easily and immediately download the games for themselves -- IGN will be approaching these titles a bit differently than the usual software review structure. DSiWare is released on a weekly basis, and they'll be covering each and every title in shorter, more concise reviews.
