Russian 6 Pack is a fun collection of 6 puzzles and action games from Russia. The games are not terribly original, and like Paragon's Troika, their quality is a mixed bag. A few games play like variants of well-known Russian games such as Tetris, and none of them is addictive enough to warrant replay. There is a good balance between brainteasers and reflex-oriented titles (a laTetris), but they are neither very challenging nor interesting. Pajitnov's Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection is far superior to this game in every respect, including the bells and whistles. Fun for a while, but without the staying power or the originality of classics. Recommended only to collectors of puzzle games. Reviewed by: Underdogs
