As we all know, RealNetworks has recently introduced Scrabble by Mattel in Facebook to fight with Scrabulous, the wildly popular, unauthorized online version of the board game.
However, the game, an online version of Scrabble, is technically available only to players outside the United States and Canada since Hasbro owns the rights to Scrabble in North America, and Mattel in the rest of the world.
Since I am living outside the United States and Canada, I am able to add the Scrabble application and play it!
Scrabble by Mattel looks like the real game but online and with animation
Though aesthetically-pleasing, the game is somewhat very lagging compared to Scrabulous. Maybe it’s the heavy animation and the entire application that cause the loading time to be slow. I have no problem playing with Scrabulous.
In the "Review Games" section, you can view all your games with a real-time clock
Unlike Scrabulous, Scrabble by Mattel shows real-time clock as the game is "Live". For now, it’s still too soon to tell. But I will definitely play both the games as I like both of them.
