I had become addicted to the Chessmaster for the PC so when I heard the new one was coming out for PS2 – I pre-ordered it. The day it came I walked right in and started playing. Let me just say I was highly disappointed. The graphics compared ot the PC version are not that impressive and there weren’t a whole lot of options for different boards, pieces, etc. And the so-called “Battlefield Chess” leaves a lot to be desired. ….

The first person to review this product, SleepyJD, must own a copy since he stated that this is chess for people who have no friends.

I bought this game on New Year’s day 2005 as part of my resolution to learn to play chess. I read all the review and weighed the excellent and the terrible, and bought the game new at a video store.
The excellent thing about the game is that you really do learn to play chess. From the main menu you click on “tutorial” and then you are directed owing to screen after screen which clarifies each chess piece in detail, teaching you the legal moves for each piece. After a while I got a small impatient and went to the Battle Chess when I hadn’t finished the tutorial, but after 2 moves I got my (…)kicked so I’m back in the chess school!
The terrible thing is that this game is hopelessly dull. I have to admit that I thought the game would be like the front cover of the disc case but you will see not anything like that. While you’re going owing to the tutorial, low-register simple listening music plays in the social class while a male voice reads from the instructions on the screen. Also, what the other reviewers said about the mini chess penetrate is right. I thought it wouldn’t matter to me since I have a large TV screen but it’s set up so that half the screen is the chess penetrate, the other half is taken up by the on-screen instructions. Why couldn’t they place the instructions as a moving heading not more than? In the battle chess, you can barely see the pieces — as if the figures are extremely fuzzy and once they start moving, you don’t know which figure corresponds to what chess piece.
This being said, I would still recommmend this if your goal is to have an intelligent and intimate knowledge of the game. You learn different strategies, how to gain a holistic perspective of the penetrate and it is simple to navigate. I admit I’ve only done the tutorial and Battle Chess so far, and I might even buy that cartoony looking chess game designed for kids (Fritz and something?) just to make it a bit more fun for me to play. There is no doubt that you will learn, but like me, you may fall asleep a few times in the process!
