Pictionary Mania

from: Mattel

September 01, 2005
I love the original Pictionary, and I feel that in the desperate desire to bring out something "new" to generate sales, they've just made changes for changes sake.

Possibly the game now has greater appeal to younger players (although many of the clues will be too hard for young children), but for adults who loved the original game, we found it frustrating.

The new modes or play are largely pointless, and the magnetic drawing pads don't allow you to draw detailed pictures, we ended up finding pen and paper to play it the old fashioned way.

It is possible to play the game as if you were playing the original, so it's not too bad. I personally would much prefer to own the original game however.
