The presentation might be lacking, but there's still a good deal of content tucked away in this package. If you're looking for a cheap and fun mahjong experience for your DS, then 3D Mahjong is a worthy purchase. However, if you're looking for a puzzle video game experience, you're better off with a game that offers more than just congratulations.
"3D Mahjong is an easy game to recommend. It offers great value for only $5, and it contains no glaring flaws that should scare interested buyers. Plus, it's a nice entry for beginners to jump into, even if it's not strongly-focused towards such an audience. If this looks appealing to you, then by all means, give it a go." -- Wiiloveit.com
IGN writes: "The American DSi Shop's first Mahjong design is a good one. This touch screen take on the classic tile-matching game is presented well, handles nicely and has just the right set of features you'd expect a Mahjong game to include, including options to switch the default, confusing Chinese characters on the tile faces to more easily identifiable American numbers and letters and 50 different starting patterns for how the tiles are laid down on the table. That's a lot. You'll be matching for a long time with this one".
