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!

Very Realistic

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.

BETTER THAN MILLIONAIRE

I bought Weakest Link after I was so disappointed with the Who wants to be a millionaire cdrom series when I first heard that The Weakest Link was going to be released in a cdrom I just had to have it. Weakest Link is my favorite show in the world next to Who wants to be a Millionaire and I had found the game a lot of fun to play. My favorite part is the beginning intro video that since I got it I've mouthed the entire intro a thousand times. I actually got to the finals but I was the weakest player and got voted off and so far no problems with it. Even my cousins liked it when I played the multiplayer version with them{By the way is a little confusing} My only suggestion would be a face maker like on the Hasbro Games so you can create your likeness. So don't delay buy this game,
Regis
{TIP} If you want an easy way to win and not get voted off. Play the junior mode}

Greatest TV Game Ever!

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.

Problems running the game

I love the concept of a Weakest Link game, but the program does not run properly on either my Gateway 233 MHz laptop running Windows 98 or my Sony 750 MHz laptop running Windows ME. The program runs too fast, so the characters' comments jumble together, and I only get 25 seconds to play each round instead of a few minutes.

Activision's customer support was friendly, but they had no suggestions for fixing the problem other than waiting for them to release a patch or an updated version if enough people have problems running it. I would not recommend purchasing this software until a patch or new version is released. However, I am looking forward to playing it again once that happens.

Move over Regis...new kid in town!

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!

Great Graphics, Very Entertaining

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-)

Great game...very realistic

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.

Excellent !!!

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.

The weakest link becomes a strong link!

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!
