A Masterpiece!
Alongside two lacklustre DVD games, this PC game is a blessing for Deal or No Deal fans. Unlike the disjointed, slow and disappointing dvd versions, this game is brilliantly designed, visually impressive and wonderfully continuous. Rather than seeing a dull table with boxes improperly placed in order, you find yourself in the proper studio, in the crazy chair and with the gameboard displayed in front of you.

Around you are the east and west wing, boxes randomly placed in front of contestants. The graphical design looks cartoonish to begin with but quickly becomes endearing. The gameplay itself is as close as you could hope to get to the real thing and most importantly of all, you'll find yourself immersed in the game and ultimately enjoying the experience.

The other forms of play are also fun. Banker vs. PC is enjoyable, although all my contestants thus far have dealt too soon. The cash and forfeit games are very inventive and, in theory, great for a small party.

One final thing I would say is that this game does require some good PC performance. The better your computer, the more smoothly it will run. If you have quite a low spec computer, you probably won't enjoy the game quite so much as the long pauses and jittery gameplay can get quite tiresome and spoil the entire reason this game is superior to its DVD counterparts.

Better than I thought but beware
I bought this today on impulse. I have just played it on my desktop PC which is a very powerful machine. It installed without any problems although I resent that the producers try to get you to register the game before installation. If you want to avoid registering you can just find the program on the CD and run it to install.

The game played very well on my main PC and the comments from others are certainly accurate. It would be great fun with a crowd and the excitement builds very nicely.

However, the main reason for writing this review is to caution anyone who my try to run this game on a low spec machine. First I tried it on a Sony laptop with Vista, the game would run the opening credits and then just freeze. I then tried another laptop running Windows XP. Unfortunately it would not run at all and just kept crashing the laptop. This was a surprise as its quite powerful and capable of running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.

So, make sure your computer is powerful enough and you will have a good experiemce with this game.

what a BRILLIANT Version :)
