Interesting Computer Info & Offers. Daily Updates!!

I own a bunch of Phantom titles, as well as downloads, and Bonus Mania while very good, isn’t my favorite of the bunch.

First of all, there are lots of bugs in the game. The lobby takes an obscenely long time to load and often crashes. The games also crash from time to time (hint, if the background music goes out or doesn’t come on at all or you’re panning motion seems erratic, reboot, you’ll just lose everything you win). Once you get the lobby loaded, you can download “fixes” from the website, which seems to have helped a little, but what a pain.

Games: This is more of what I’d call a “boy” box of games — so if you’re a guy, you might like these more than, perhaps, a girl. There is a cool guitar game where, during the bonus round, you have to push keys in the right order to hit song cords (quite challenging and addictive), a car racing game with a memory feature and additional payouts for taking first/second etc at the end of the season, an “all-you-can-eat” game which is, considering the muching reel stop sounds, just gross, train games, history games, caveman games, kung fu, etc. I’d say at least half of the games are in this vein of design and play.

Pros: Games with “memory” bonuses you can build over time, good background music, good number and selection of games.

Cons: My main problem with this title is – the title. I don’t know, I expected a collection of games with the title “Bonus Mania” in it to have extra bonus rounds, easy bonus rounds, bonus rounds everywhere… but it’s not. Pretty much just the same as all the other games so don’t let the title fool you. In fact, these are the hardest bonus rounds to hit of any title I’ve played by Phantom so far. Also, you can’t get through the “vaults” in the game unless you win with “real” payout setting, not fantasy, so good luck with that.

Overall, it’s fun and I’d recommend it, but if you’re a Phantom fan, it might be a little disappointing. Also, the same annoying “you must play every game in the set” feature is still in the game for vault completion, so if you actually want to win the whole vault, be prepared to spend half an hour on each and every variation of video poker as well (Phantom, can you PLEASE ditch that feature?). Overall, nice number of games, fun bouns’ when you can get um.
