And now the classic card game comes to Xbox Live. And for the cost of a deck of cards, you can play online via Xbox Live against thousands of other like-minded gamers.

UNO is a fantastic game perfectly suited for the Xbox 360 that will delight kids and adults, the same people who probably already play it with real cards.

As fun as it is to play alone against the AI or with strangers, nothing can beat you and three mates sitting around playing UNO all night. [Issue #16, p.78]

UNO is fast, pretty, and incredibly user-friendly.
full reviewMy Gamer
A totally unexpected and pleasant surprise for the Xbox 360 crowd. It’s highly addictive, family friendly (although obviously that can change online), and extremely easy to get in to.

The ability to change the rules to suit your taste is a bonus and the online capability is fantastic.

Costing less than a real deck of Uno cards, this well-rounded package is a successful translation of the classic card game.

It offers multiplayer that's quite addictive, as well as a single player experience that really helps you get better at the game.
full reviewEuroGamer
Maybe it's just because we're remembering that the best games aren't the best because they've got the biggest polygon counts, or the most multiple paths through levels, or the largest number of murderable prostitutes - they're the best because they're the
full reviewXequted
The graphics are very clean and vividly coloured to match the colours of the suits. It's tempting to say it's quite simple but there's no way it needs to be any more adventurous since it gets the job done adequately well.

With lots of options, vibrant presentation, and well-implemented online play, Uno is a pleasant five-dollar diversion.

Where it lacks in number of total players in a game, Uno makes up for it in rule customization.

Whether you want something to relax with or you want to play competitively for the best part of a day, you can't go wrong with UNO.

At 400 Microsoft Points(or $5), this game costs less than a real deck of UNO cards and comes with built-in-friends. [Aug 2006, p.82]
Games Radar
A classy, clean implementation of an old favorite that feels instantly comfortable - and, amazingly enough, at 400 points ($5), it costs about three clams less than a real deck of Unocards.
full reviewTeam Xbox
While the graphics and audio don’t do anything to rouse the imagination, the gameplay in UNO brings plenty of fun to the table for those who enjoyed the original card game.
full reviewPlanet Xbox 360
Uno may not reek of depth or require much skill, but it can be a riot if you can gather a few mates online, and it can only improve with the release of the camera.
full reviewIGN
Assuming you like Uno, know that with the camera on the way, Uno's social aspect will only increase. Uno's statistic tracking and online leaderboards add surprising depth to this package.

Overall it’s just a fun card game with a range of people, and playing with friends is basically just like the MSN for gamers, hanging out around a card game and carrying a conversation.
full reviewThe Onion (A.V. Club)
Creating Uno for Xbox probably took 1/1000 the man-hours of the average 360 game, but its replay value is considerably greater.
full reviewGameShark
Overall given the price point, there is enormous replay value and Uno is another Xbox Live arcade game worth purchasing.
full reviewXbox Evolved
It helps to be interested in card games, but either way the high-resolution web-cam feature might grab your attention.
full reviewX360 Magazine UK
Uno is a good laugh in multiplayer, it only costs 400 Microsoft points and even a dribbling child could get all 200 GamerPoints from it. [Issue 8, p.120]
