    It's a great multiplayer game for parties, especially with those non-gamer types.

    But despite Robinson’s remarks, oodles of atmosphere and a decent enough multiplayer mode, compared to Millionaire in the console quiz show stakes, it still manages to be the weakest link. Goodbye!

    A bad, bad game. It's a quiz show format that can't work as a game, but was made anyways.

    One of those games you play with a non-gamer. You know, those weirdos who sit for hours in front of the TV and passively watch what's being broadcast. We've just got to help those missing links evolve a little.

    I was not a fan of the gameshow, but I do like this game. The gameplay is deeper than I expected even in single player. The questions are I was not a fan of the gameshow, but I do like this game. The gameplay is deeper than I expected even in single player. The questions are challenging and after a less than stellar round, if you vote way off base on the weakest link, then you're more apt to make the walk of shame. This is a bargain bin must for fans of trivia games and shows.… Expand

    The Weakest Link in video game form, fun in short bursts with friends or family but no real long term appeal.
