Toys and Games Reviews of Deal or No Deal DVD GameCustomer Review: Not as bad as all that, but not as fun either. Summary: 3 Stars
The main problem with this game is simply that it is slow and tedious. Yes, it captures all the style of the TV show. But it's missing any sense of suspense or flow. You have to scroll through the cases to get to the one you want to choose. Then you have to wait for load time. Then you make your choice. And wait for load time.
The inherent flaw in home versions of TV game shows is that you'll never win anything. But this game makes you feel like you've lost even more.
Customer Review: Deal Or No Deal? - BAD DEAL!!!! Summary: 1 Stars
AVOID!
My wife is a big fan of the show. I purchased the game (about $20 at Wal-Mart) as a Christmas gift for her and we tried it last night (Christmas Day). Experienced the same problem as numerous others - game froze. I actually had to unplug my DVD player to reset the machine in order to remove the DVD! For the brief time it did work, choosing the case number you wanted was a long and arduous task. This game is not worth the value of the lowest priced case!
Customer Review: The game is fun and works fine on all our DVD players Summary: 5 Stars
I read these reviews and was wary of the game, but my daughter loves the TV show so we bought it for her for Christmas. I was delighted to find that it plays fine on our Panasonic DVD player and on our Mac laptop. Yes, the case selection process is a little cumbersome, but the game plays quickly. My wife and I played two 2-player games in a half an hour. I would highly recommend this game. It's lots of fun and Howie's little inserts are entertaining.
Customer Review: Not worth it Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for my boyfriend as a present. We both love the TV show and thought the game would be as exciting (without the live crowd, of course). But the game moves slow, no models - only picking case numbers. You can compete against one another, but its not really exciting. You even have to cycle through all of the numbers to pick which one you want. Very tedious.
Maybe you should try the board game version - it can't be any worse.
Customer Review: OK but it has a few issues Summary: 3 Stars
I've had problems playing this game on my PC DVD and my home DVD (Ex: I'd select case #5 but # 8 would open up because the game couldn't keep up with the pressing of the up and down arrow keys). Since you have to use the remote arrow keys to page up and down case by case before you pick the one, it can take quite a long time to play this game. The clips of Howie and game play are pretty good though - so I'd say overall it's a average game.
