AGH Lynx Review: THE FIDELITY ULTIMATE CHESS CHALLENGE
by Telegames
Action games are good and dandy, but for those long road trips or plane
rides, gamers on the go are always looking for a game that'll give them
lasting replay value so that time flies. Telegames has come to the rescue
with The Fidelity Ultimate Chess Challenge. Heck, even the
title is long.
There's not much explaining to do with this one. And I'm not about
to type up a rulebook on how to play chess; the game's indstruction
manual more than adequately describes the rules of Chess. As the
video version of the Western world's most popular board game, it's
more than serviceable. It offers several levels of difficulty,
a hint feature, and the ability for the player to retract up to
100 full moves. Additionally, the screen is represented in either
a two- or three-dimensional layout depending on your viewing
preference.
Most Lynx Chess players will be playing the game solitaire, so
I'm sure you're wondering about the computer AI. While I don't
profess to be an expert in Chess, I found the computer to be
more than a worthy opponent. After several plays, you'll
find out what difficulty level is the perfect challenge for you.
Chess veterans won't have to worry about a lack of challenge.
The "ultimate" mode, Ultimate Chess Challenge is said to be
almost impossible to beat.
All in all, Ultimate Chess Challenge is recommended for those
who have an affinity for Chess. It lacks the flair of finer
simulations like Chessmaster 4000 killer, but for Chess on the
go, it more than fits the bill.
