"And now from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week!" At those
famous words millions of viewers would settle down to one
of the most popular game shows ever. Now, you can compete
in the renowned show at home Move through five rounds of themed
questions, earning - and losing - money as you go. At the
end of each round, the winning player (or team) proceeds to
the prize board and the chance of increasing their winnings
by snapping up a bargain. As the game progresses the value
of the questions increases - until the final, nail-biting,
against-the-clock round...
I
must admit to being a little confused as to why a quiz show
of a series that has not been on TV for years was deemed worthy
of it's own DVD quiz. Straight away the core DVD buying market
(anyone under 30) is alienated. Most of them won't have even
seen the show.
Elements
of this DVD make it both one of the best and worst interactive
DVD games on the market. On the positive side at long last
we get a general knowledge DVD where the questions are just
right - no stupidly simple questions here.
However,
on the negative side this has to be about the most unfair
game on the planet. I can't remember the TV show all that
well (I remember it, just not the whole format), but if it
was the same as this DVD version (and I suspect it was) it
has to be about the most unfair quiz on the planet. For starters
if you are clever than your opponent at the end of every round
you enter a prize board (in which you can win some virtual
reality prizes). However, get the answer wrong (or don't answer
in time) and you lose money. This can mean that the brainier
contestant can end up behind those not as intelligent.
For
example. If you win all the rounds, but fail to win on the
prize board, you can find yourself trailing behind your fellow
contestants. Therefore a strategy that we soon worked out
was to not come at the top of the pile after each round of
questions - that way you don't run the risk of losing points
on the prize board.
In
all honesty this seems a crazy way to win a quiz - by deliberately
holding back - and the whole idea is greatly flawed. Having
said that if you just keep you own scores and ignore the results
of the prize rounds, this is quite good fun.
