Jenga vs Words with Friends
Jenga
Jenga is the only Jenga-type game on the mobile market and it's not surprising to see why. From creating racing games with realistic motion physics to creating Jenga with accurate, close-to-life gravitational physics and stability, NaturalMotion is possibly the only mobile-specific company that is able to create a realistic digital version of the timeless crowd-favorite game, complete with beautifully rendered environment.The game also has a multiplayer mode that'll see you competing with friends to see who'll topple the tower of blocks first. Scores you earn from playing are also listed on the leaderboard - that is if the scores are high enough - giving you some amount of bragging rights if you happen to rank near or at the top. Not to mention, you can even compare the heights of your Jenga blocks with your friends' while you're still playing a game!
There are, however, some issues with the game, but overall, Jenga is still the only mobile version of the favorite pastime of many and if you suddenly had a craving for such a game, you'll have nohere to turn except to this one... unless you own a physical version of the game, then by all means, invite some friends over and have some fun!
Words with Friends
Words with Friends is one of the most popular words games on the mobile platform for several years running. Developed and published by Zynga, the game was eventually ported over to the PCs through the social network, Facebook. In terms of gameplay, Words with Friends has similar mechanics with the timeless classic board game, Scrabble, but with some interesting twists that had made the game a lot more fun and entertaining. For instance, the placement of the bonus tiles in this game is quite different from a traditional Scrabble board, and of course, the board size a much larger in the former as well.Another interesting aspect that made Words with Friends more approachable especially to newcomers is that players aren't penalized for putting in incorrect words that were challenged by your opponent. The dictionary used in Words with Friends, however, is a lot more lenient and accepts quite a number of "new-gen words". It also offers leaderboards to keep track on the scores and real time matches against friends or other players online.
Words with Friends may now face a lot of competition from similar word games nowadays, but back when it was first released, the game was HUGE! The game is still fun today and with the exciting updates that Zynga releases from time to time, the game will be kept going for years to come.
