    A $30 game about winning fake money by picking random numbers is awful to begin with, but a completely broken version of said game is another story altogether.

    This is officially the lowest scored game in my entire career of reviewing games; the good news is that no matter what I review next, it can't be any worse.

    The title's design is too flawed to recommend it for purchase, so make a deal with yourself and avoid buying this game.

    Save yourself the trouble and just say "No Deal".

    You lose if you buy Deal or No Deal, no matter how many times the game may say otherwise.

    Deal or No Deal is proof TV shows don't always make a good video game. Or even a mediocre one. This is simply terrible – there's not a single redeeming feature in this whole sorry affair.

    Deal or No Deal is simply one of the most dull and short-lived videogames of all time, barely fit for mobile phones let alone the mighty DS.

    Just as bad as the TV show...if not worse. [Issue#17, p.92]

    It's a boring, pointless, annoying game that is fundamentally broken and thus rendered completely absurd, much like Howie Mandel himself. To top it off, the game isn't even budget priced, making it an even worse deal.

    Deal or no Deal is a sad enough tv show to watch. As a game, it's abysmal. People look like cardboard cutouts, and sound is awful and samey.Deal or no Deal is a sad enough tv show to watch. As a game, it's abysmal. People look like cardboard cutouts, and sound is awful and samey. But you haven't even scraped the surface with that. See, if you enjoy picking numbers out of boxes, Deal or no Deal is for you. Anyone with half a brain could make a deal or no deal game without electronics. There's also a board game out of deal or no deal. Its existence on consoles is absolutely pointless. In addition to the main game, there are other modes barely worth mentioning. They're supposed to be extras, but in realoty the best extra would be for this game to burn. If someone tries to sell this to you, whatever the price, even if it's free, say no deal.… Full Review »
