 Smart Box Design, the makers of the popular game, Word Pop, just announced a new game today and were kind enough to send us a couple of copies of what’s sure to be their next hit! Word Watch, is a word game that pits the player against the clock as you have to unjumble the letters to make a word.
I installed Word Watch to my SD card and immediately got down to business. I started with the practice screen to get the hang of the game. After a minute or two, I felt I had a handle on Word Watch. The purpose of the game is to try and make a word out of the letters presented. After you create a word, just check the box to move to the next round. If you can’t create a word using all of the letters, try and use as many as possible. Any leftover letters will turn red and if you accumulate eight or more red letters…you’re FINISHED. You do have the opportunity to get rid of the red letters in the bonus round when you can use them to create a word.
 I have to admit that this game is rather addictive…While writing this review, I kept picking up my Treo and trying to beat my high score. My first full game I got to Level 3, Round 17. Graphically, the game looks great on the Treo 650. The colors are clear, bright and easy on the eyes. The instructions on how to play the game were fairly simple to understand and the practice round is great for getting the full grasp of the game. There’s also little tips for you as you move up to higher levels. Another great feature of the game that increases its replay value are the three games that you can play. You opt for Unlimited, Word Watch, or Practice and you can also change the word lengths for more or less difficulty. I thought it was clever the way the Practice, Unlimited, and Word Watch rounds were featured on a watch…get it? Word Watch?
I definitely recommend downloading Word Watch, especially if you’re a fan of games such as Word Pop or BookWorm. I will warn you though……you shouldn’t let anyone else play this game or you’ll have a hard time getting your Treo back!
cyberhomie’s 2ยข - I also got a chance to play this game, and I agree - very addictive. In the practice area I got to Level P5 - Round 35. Great graphics, fun, challenging and educational - what more could you ask for? Angel was right about letting other people play this game - I showed it to my wife and I couldn’t get my treo back from her! Although its a hefty 1.7 mb, it runs great off of my SD card. This is a game that is definitely staying on my Treo.

Word Watch is a good game,but if its in a real watch it would be cool.

doesnt look all that exciting to me honestly. why play games on a watch when you have a massive fast system sitting on your desk.

have to agree, it’s all about massive graphics for me.
