Summary: Great Representation of the Show
Review: If you like the TV Show, you'll really enjoy this game. The set looks just like the one on TV. There's plenty of options (make human player be able to bank at any time, make more questions on certain topics appear more...), but I'll review it based on normal gameplay.

Differences from TV: There are 7 players instead of 8. Also, the first question in the money chain to $125,000, starts at $2,500 and not $1,000. The last round when there are 2 players left, the amount of money banked is tripled instead of doubled. This still makes it possible to bank $1,000,000 in the entire game even though you have 7 players.

Other than this, it's exactly the same. The questions are multiple choice, but you only get the first letter in each choice, so the correct answer will not appear in full, so you still have to know the answer outright. Example: The first month of the year is? Choices: J,F,M,A. You'd have to pick the J. Rules are identical to the show. The strongest link starts from the previous round starts first. If there is a tie in votes, the strongest link decides who is voted off. If you get to the final 2, the strongest link in the last round chooses to go first or second in the 5 question final round. Then it goes to sudden death if tied after 5 until someone is ahead after the extra round. The computer players votes are very good. They usually notice who's missing questions but aren't always predictable as to who they're voting off. After each round, the same "announcing voice" as in the show comes on and says "______ was the strongest link, _______ was the weakest link.." Very realistic.

The box says there's 100,000 questions in the game. If you play it, and don't look at the computer players' questions and answers, and only focus on if they get the questions right or wrong, (can be easily done by not looking at the top of the screen) you'll only see a fraction of all the questions asked in that round. I think this will diminish the chances for repeat questions (a fear that I have in buying/playing games such as this one).

This is well worth the purchase, especially if you like the show.

Summary: Who Wants to be a Millionaire IS the Weakest Link...
Review: Millionaire, watch out, cuz there's a new game in town! Weakest Link has everything from Anne to 21 real characters to choose from. You can now have the inconvenience of Anne in your own home! Anne has everything from new Brutal Truths to over 100,000 questions! You even get to hear "You ARE the Weakest Link! Goodbye!" and get to take the Walk of Shame.

You can play with up to 7 other players, human and/or computer, and you can even play over the net or over a network!

If you don't run out and buy the game the opening day, you ARE the Weakest Link! Goodbye!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A VERY FUN GAME!
Review: OK,WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS,I THOUGHT,COULD THIS BE BETTER THAN MILLIONAIRE? WELL,YES! THIS HAS MORE EXCITEMENT,TONS AND TONS OF QUESTIONS,AN ANIMATED SET,AND OF COURSE ANNE! EXACTLY LIKE THE SHOW,EVEN THE EXACT SAME INTRO'S AND ENDING'S LIKE ON TV,THE ONLY DRAWBACKS ARE: THE COMMENTARYS OF THE CONTESTANTS AND ANNE REPEAT TOO MUCH,AND IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE CONTESTANTS MOUTH'S MOVED OR THEY HAD SOME EXPRESSION,VIDEO'S AND PICTURES (NOT THE ANIMATIION) ON THE GAME ARE GRAINY,AND YOU HAVE TO SELECT THE RIGHT DRIVERS,VIDEO CARDS,ETC.,EVERYTIME YOU START THE GAME,NO OTHER GAMES DO THAT THAT I'M AWARE,IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT DRIVERS YOU WANT THE GAME TO USE,AND SELECT THE WRONG ONES,THE GAME STARTS,YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUNDS BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ANY PICTURE! AND END UP HAVING TO DO AN IMPROPER SHUT-DOWN ON YOUR PC,AND ONE OTHER THING,NO SCOREKEEPING!!!!!!!!!! WHAT'S A GAME WITHOUT SCORE KEEPING?!?! WELL HOPEFULLY THESE ISSUES WILL BE FIXED ON THE 2ND EDITON (IF THERE WILL BE ONE,I HOPE!),BUT STILL A GREAT GAME. GOODBYE!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You'd have to be the weakest link not to buy this!!
Review: One word-BRILLIANT-Buy it now.Its got 100 times more questions than WWTBAM + its got Anne,- need I say more?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Graphics, Very Entertaining
Review: Overall this game is very good in both the graphics field and the entertainment field. The only reason why I gave the game 4 stars instead of 5 was the fact that Anne Robinson had only about 3 or 4 punchlines. Other than that the game is great.
Graphics: 94.5% (A)
Entertainment Value: 89.3% (B+)
Overall: 82.5% (B-)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent !!!
Review: The game is 90% to the REAL programme, but still, there are some improvements.
1) the phrase "NOW THE RULES....." can be heard after introducing the team.
2) the introduction of the team should be done by the team's own voice, instead of the other's
3) there are some scene of "LET'S PLAY THE WEAKEST LINK" repeated, such im[provement can be avoided or eliminated.

YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK, GOODBYE !!!

Hope that there will be more versions internationally.
Including USA and Hong Kong of course.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fans of Anne will love this game
Review: THE WEAKEST LINK is an immensely fun gameshow on NBC. Activision takes it and turns it into a well-presented, educational, and fun computer game. If you enjoy trivia games, computer games, and competition this game is for you. Beware, Anne is there in full swing and full of insults and shes not afraid to dish it. So buy this game, sit back and enjoy the insults because YOU are the weakest link.

When playing this game, you must be one of the various players. This is not always fun because it doesn't allow you to be yourself when you play, but it's a small price to pay. As you play, it's important to be quick and answer lots of questions. If not, you will be voted off and take the Walk of Shame, not fun. This game allows you to increase your knowledge and compete for the prize money and it is well presented. I suggest you buy this great game today!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The weakest link becomes a strong link!
Review: The weakest link is here for everyone to play! It is just like the TV show and even gives the same thrill! Hundreds of questions some easy some tough! Some computers are smart and some stupid! I was even more suprised when they voted me out because I was TO smart! I can see voting me out when I am stupid but when I'm SMART! I love everything about this game including hot and sexy Ann! OH YEAH! She cracks me up with all of her insults! THIS GAME ROCKS AND IS EASILY WORTH THE MONEY!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This game is the weakest link! Good Bye!
Review: This game delivers a pretty weak attempt at bringing the game to the computer. While I realize that it is hard to record Anne saying loads and loads of phrases, they could have done better then the 5 they included. The contestants also say the same things as they talk to Anne about voting people off. For example "There is something about her that I just don't like". The her could refer to any female player in the game. As far as the trivia part is concerned, there are loads of questions. So I guess if you are more into the trivia aspect of the game as opposed to the voting off aspect you might enjoy the game. However there is no way to skip the voting people off section. I ended up returning my copy and have been happy without the game.
