Summary: Great game...very realistic
Review: This game is very much like the show. I would highly advise, though, that you install the maximum on your computer. If you install the minimum and have it run off the CD-ROM, it really slows down the game (and is _really_ annoying).The people are rather square (pixelated), but Anne is great and the questions are decent (it takes a bit to get the same question twice). It's also not a game that "lets" you win (get to the final round). I would recommend this game to fans of the show.

Summary: Why not include an online multiplayer?
Review: This game is very realistic: 1) If you think too long to answer, the other players will vote you off. 2) This happened to me during a tie-breaker: 3 players left; and everyone got 1 vote. Strongest Link had to decide who to vote off, and since I voted for them, they changed their voted and voted for me even though I wasn't the weakest, but because I voted for them. I was impressed. 3) If you think Ann is intimidating on TV, wait 'til you buy this game. Everytime you choose the "Single Player" she cracks how you don't have any friends to play with, or if you pick the "Bend the rules" option, she says "I guess you do need to cheat to win." <So Funny> 4) Unlike other trivia games, this one has 100,000 questions!!(So I heard) I played it and no repeats yet and even if you might see a repeat, you have to be a real rain-man to memorize all the answers. However, this game needs online multiplayer! If it will in future editions, this should challenge other game like You DOn't Know Jack as the best trivia game of all times.

Summary: Greatest TV Game Ever!
Review: This is the best TV-game-show PC game there is!It is generally faithful to the TV show, although there are 7 players rather than 8 (or 6 on syndicated Link), and the multiple-choice format is not used on TV (on TV, a contestant will be asked "What(first letter) is...?). Otherwise, the PC version plays pretty much the same as on TV. I also think there should be a way for one to play as himself, rather than as one of the characters. I would still consider the game to be excellent, though; especially if you love the TV show.
The game requires a fairly powerful computer with high quality video, more than most other TV-gameshow type PC games. If your system is not powerful enough, the game will tend to stop in the middle of play. It will work on high-end PC's, but a low or mid-level machine may not be sufficient.

Review: Weakest Link is one of the best PC games out there. You compete like you are on the real TV show. If you like to watch the show on NBC or the BBC, then you are in for a treat. If you do not buy this game, with 7 votes, YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK...GOODBYE!

Summary: Are you the Weakest Link?
Review: Weakest Link is the greatest game to hit the U.S. yet! With incredible graphics, realistic sets and characters, and oh-so-lovely Anne, you really feel like you're part of the action! In this version there are SEVEN players, not eight, so you only need to answer SEVEN questions *correctly* to reach your $125,000 target. Let's play...The Weakest Link! You can bend the rules to make Anne give you more or less questions from different categories as well as bend the rules to make Anne be more insulting! This is a great game, but beware--THIS GAME REQUIRES A *GOOD* 3D VIDEO CARD! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, YOU MIGHT EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS!!! This review was written September 29th, 2001, the day I went out and found Weakest Link at Wal-Mart! Ah, let thy heart be still...while Anne burns it with her Brutal Truths!

Summary: Great Graphics, Very Entertaining
Review: When I first got this game, I didn't know if I'd like it. To tell the truth, I find the real TV show rather insulting! But I have to admit, I've gotten lots of hours of fun and entertainment from this. You have to leave your ego and seriousness at the door. At first, I didn't like the personality selections they give you (I usually play alone). They all seem a little screwy. But after I decided not to take myself seriously and started picking the various personalities, I had a ball! I even tried the teenagers and members of the opposite sex just for a little variation. I did get a bit of a surprise when I was down to the final 3 and (as the strongest link) got voted off! It really irked me when Anne came on and scolded me for not being too smart! Like I said, don't take yourself seriously with this game, or you might as well as play something else! I also like playing the different levels! This CD is lots of fun and you don't find yourself answering the same questions over and over. Lots of variations! Go for it and have fun, even if you end up the WEAKEST LINK -good bye!

Summary: Very Realistic
Review: Wow, agree after having read all the other reviews. Being a fan of the TV show, I had to get this game. Definitely worth it, and plays well. My wife actually made it past 3 or 4 rounds against all computer players. If you want to make it to the final round, pick all humans, come in at the 4th or 5th round, and bank early and often. Especially after you read the question. Keep all your fingers on the right keys. With the upcoming demise of the TV show, and if you are a fan, run out and get this game [$]well spent. Technical glitches; Once I cursored across the contestant selection, I couldn't back track. Anyone else have this problem? My other suggestion is a face-maker like in the Hoyle games so you can be yourself. Otherwise fabulous.
