I bought it for $1.50 at a yardsale, thought it was a bargain, but in reality I got ripped off ...
Bad: Everything, the graphics are horrendous, the sound is terrible and there is a complete lack of replay value.
The Gameplay stays true to the gameshow from which it came. There are a few bright spots with customization of which questions are asked and the multiple characters, the game does not seem all that bad. However, there are too many bad spots to consider this game as a must have. Its claims to have thousands of questions, but I found myself asking the same question over and over, “Wasn’t this question asked last time I played?” The voting system is dry, no matter what happens, whether I am the weakest link, strongest link or somewhere in the middle, people always more often than not vote for me as the weakest link. There is no method to this, it is completely random. The graphics, are flat our terrible. You cannot expect Grade A graphics for games based on gameshows, but still you have a right to expect some form of decent graphics. Which this game clearly lacks, the graphics are just horrendous to look at. They have the light sequences, which gets old after a while. The graphics, never change, the characters all look pretty much the same, only difference is the color and their face. There is no difference in body type. The graphics need some major improvement before this game could be considered “playable”.
The sound is repetitive and is annoying. The questions are not read out to you and the only thing that you hear when you answer a question is “Good” or “Wrong Answer” and when you bank, you hear “Banked”. There is no difference in what is said during the rounds. Between the rounds you hear the same thing every time, “You only managed ____, the weakest links are presumably gone, but you still managed to do terrible.” Then it goes into voting, and the same thing is repeated there everytime, the only difference is the names change. The game is dull and if anyone is going to enjoy this game, the sound needs to create a realistic gameshow feeling, which the Weakest Link, has not.
What replay value? The questions hardly ever change, the same things are said, and nothing ever changes. This game is at most, a one time play. After an hour of playing this game, I wanted to break it in half and never look at it again. The game is just too glitchy and too repetitive. There is barley any hope for this game, and this proves once again, why games should not be based on Television shows, it just doesn’t work.
In conclusion, The Weakest Link is flat out, a terrible game. This game was a rip-off at $1.50; it would still be a rip-off if I got it for a quarter. Unless you are getting this game for free, don’t bother.
