Does the board game justice

I am a fan of the board game, so I was super excited to find out that the game was coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace. I wondered how the game would translate to the virtual world, but I was not disappointed. It offers streamlined gameplay that I never found difficult to understand. The computer AI's offered a good challenge to the experienced player, but their "attitudes" can get annoying at times. Overall, I feel that if you like the board game then you'll love this, and if you've never played it before, then this is your chance to try something great.

p.s. I hope that one day we will see the various board game expansions of Catan (Seafarers, Cities and Knights) come to the XBL Marketplace.

Board games haven't exactly made a smooth transition to the video game world, as bringing together your family was always the point in playing in the first place. However, providing both rich gameplay and social affair may lead to a more entertaining and captivating experience, and that's precisely what Catan does. The rules of Catan can be little overwhelming at first play. You and y...
