I should have read these reviews before buying it myself. Coulda saved myself 20 bucks. I totally agree with what the other reviewers have to say. It's tedious, the AI is repetitive and does not seem to have any effect on the voting, gameplay is horrible and with the exception of the trivia, the challenges were long and boring. You can tell this game was rushed out to capitalize on the remaining popularity of the show. Buy at your own risk....you've been warned, I tells ya!

SKIP IT

If you're a "Survivor" fan and are considering buying this game, pay close attention to the bad reviews posted here. They are all accurate. In the "survival" and "challenge" sections, I can't even get my cursor to work properly, which is somewhat frustrating since I bought the game with the intention of actually playing it. Plus, each section of the game takes at least a minute to download so most of the time you find yourself sitting there waiting to play. And even if you manage to create an "alliance" with some of the other characters, they are just as likely to vote you off anyway. The challenges themselves are less interesting than any run-of-the-mill arcade game from the 80's. All in all, this is the worst piece of dreck I ever purchased for my computer.

YUCK!

All I can say is;

1. Same boring challenges.
2. AI seems to just "flip coins" to decide who to vote off!
3. The AI seems to change it's mind about the political situation at camp every minute (again the AI is "fliping coins" to decide who it likes and does not like).
4. Too many technical problems (installing and playing).
5. Costs way too much for what the game offers.

Just keep watching and enjoying the show! Don't buy this game!

Avoid at all costs!

I am not an incompetent...I can do this....I can always make things work on the computer, I said to myself as I spent most of the day trying to install and play survivor. The trick seems to be that your computer will crash at some point. The furthest I got was to the end of one reward challenge, whereupon my computer crashed before I got to find out the reward....

I suggest that you wait until the makers of the game tweak all of the programming errors before you invest time and money in this. I was enthusiastic...yes I was. But rebooting a crashed computer several times a day is not my idea of holiday fun.

Trust me--it's the game, not me. Thumbs irrevocably down.

If you bought this game, demand your money back

This game is extremely terrible. First, installing the game is more work than it is worth. Second, horrible graphics. Third, horrible game play. Fourth, meaningless conversation and bad music. Missions are terrible, no collision detection, etc. Need I say more? This game is a total disaster, and is a down right let down to any survivor fan out there. It is a complete disgrace.

It is not worth the money to buy. ... Save it for something practical, or something that is fun and works.

This game is bogus

I couldn't get it loaded on my old machine as it wasn't fast enough. My new machine is certainly fast enough, has more than enough RAM, exceeds all requirements, but this game won't load if you run Windows xp. I had tried it a few times on my husband's computer before he upgraded to xp, and it was hard to understand how to use the characters. I have watched every episode of "Survivor" ever televised, I bought this game after Australian Outback, and there were supposed to be upgrades that don't exist - the website referred to doesn't exist.

CAN YOU VOTE ME OFF?

I am a big fan of Survivor, watch every episode, and this is also the reason I bought this game.

Before I started this game, I already told myself this will not be a great game because of the graphics I saw on the box and the challenges look stupid. But I am a big fan, what can I say.

So I played the game, the first episode looks cool. Walk around (however you can't control your character where to go and what to do, computer does them all) and talk to people, forming alliance. And then go to the challenge, which is hard. But it was my first episode, so I thought it looks fine. The funniest part was the tribal council, which I get to vote someone off. However, from the information I got from other people in my tribe during the day, and who to vote for - is totally different from the result of the tribal council. That's okay with me, I am still at the beginning of the game, and thought that I can control better later on.

The second episode, same things happened again. So as 3rd and 4th... Plus losing in every challenges (boring challenges that all look similar - from what I saw, there are only 3 kinds of challenges, one is shooting, two is questionaire, three is pushing rocks which took half hour to complete) is not that fun, especially when you know you are going to lose. And I also wonder why no one vote for me in any of the tribal council... so I tried to be the bad guy and said all kind of bad things to my tribemate, still, I didn't get vote off.

Since I lost every challenges, we merge with 2 from my team and 8 from the other. And then we playing personal immunity challege. The challenge wanted me to push a rock up to the mountain (again..) after 30 minutes, I was about the to be first one to cross the line, but I did not do it. Instead, I just wait and let me other former-tribemate (Gretchen, and I am Greg) to win me, because I want to see if I can get vote off when I was against 8 "opposite-tribemate".

So tribal council, with 8 votes, I am the weakest link, and finally I can say "GOODBYE" to the game, thank you.

This is how bad I wanted to end the game, so do you think it worth to buy it?

Horrible Game

My friend invited me over to play this game with him on his PC, the game is boring and the graphics are poor quality. Don't waste your money on this item.

Wow! Crappy

My husband bought me this game because i love survivor. The darn thing won't run at all on the computer no matter what you do. In the end, i threw it in the garbage, where it seemed to belong. Don't waste your money on this!

Just a heads up for anyone looking at this game..

It never worked for me on the 4 computers I tried it on. (Windows 98, ME, XP, and XP) even when my computer lived up to all the specs on the box. A definite do not buy!
