My first expectations of DIV Games Studio were high; I had read the box thoroughly and was expecting to be producing games by the evening.

I was disappointed to find game creation requires a good working knowledge of the Games Studio's own programming language.

Slightly put off, I decided to make the most of it and learn the basics but soon found the instruction manual to be so badly written and long winded that I gave up.

You cannot expect to be an instant games master with this software but don't for a minute doubt its potential.

With time and patience you can create playable games of a high standard.
