There are 1500 questions here - with an option to buy further separate packs -
simply actioned by inserting the required question card and typing in the
five-letter code. When the game is up and running, the logistics are intuitive
enough, including the option to tell Tarrant that, yes, it is your final
answer and you can pause the game too.
The option of 50/50 plays the same way, while "Ask the Audience" has Chris
informing you which is the "most popular answer", which is the "second most..",
then third and least popular answers, with no percentages given; and
"Phone a Friend" doesn't bring up a random voice as in the console game, but
requires you to actually ask somebody during the same period of 30 seconds
they give you in the TV show.
As a game, it's pointless. You won't win any real money, except the 'advantage'
this has over the console version is the ability to hand each other fake
cheques with the wrong date on - since each episode of the TV gameshow is
filmed at least a day in advance. Also, here you're able to win any amount.
On the PC, Playstation and Dreamcast, you could only win one of four possible
amounts - £0, £1000, £32000 and £1 million - since there
was no "I'll take the £64,000 and go Chris", listed here as a
"go home" option, because there's no point. However, if you want to bow out
in this game, you can do.
If not fulfilling a life of monetary dreams wasn't enough, Tarrant's constant
delaying doesn't make you want to play the game more and more (like people
seem to want to do with the TV version judging by the ratings), it just
irritates you and the fact that the actual words and FX coming out sound like
they're playing on a dodgy Medium Wave radio. The plastic flap over the game
buttons also has a tendancy to fall off.
As a result, this plays like a poor man's Trivial Pursuit.
Buy that one instead - it's much more entertaining.
