Media Name: Countdown: The Game Media Type: Video Game Release Year: 2009 Developers: Sanuk Games, RingZero Game Studio Publisher: Mindscape Played on: Wii Completion Status: Any% Finished Playing: 14th October 2022 My Rating: 7.5/10 I used to be obsessed with Countdown so this was the game show game that I was looking forward to playing the most. I enjoyed it, it as it was intended. The gameplay was quite fun and same as the game show. It has a really good range of difficulty options to choose from. The UI looked nice and was pleasing to the eye. Also the classic Countdown theme song was present which is one of the best parts of the show. Basically the only problem was that the AI was kinda really easy even on medium mode. There were also a lot of rounds and it was unclear as to how many there were.

Media Name: Deal or No Deal: The Banker is Back!

I enjoyed it, despite the RNG reliance, it was actually quite fun. The graphics were quite decent with Noel Edmonds' model actually looking decent (though some of the rest looked laughably bad). There were some times where it would be funny with the characters dancing. One of the problems though were that while the game had other modes besides regular Deal or No Deal, they weren't very good with Break the Bankers Code basically being a crappy number version of Wordle and Banker's game just being to watch AI play the game until you offer money as the Banker. The naming keyboard was also probably the worst one I've eve...

Media Name: Family Fortunes Media Type: Video Game Release Year: 2009 Developers: Talkback Thames, Slam!, Freemantle Media Publisher: Mindscape Played on: Wii Completion Status: Any% Finished Playing: 14th October 2022 My Rating: 5.5/10 I kinda ended up deciding that I wanted to collect every single game based on a game show that released on the Wii in PAL regions. I'll only review the ones that I was actually able to finish at least a round of. This one I wouldn't say is based on a gameshow that I loved but I did watch it a bit years ago. Basically it's just the British version of Family Feud. The game was ok, the gameplay was average as unlike most Family Feud games where you enter your answer, this one you have a list of answers. I'd say that I would've rather entered the answers but this works too. The character models were all extremely ugly though that made them really funny to look and laugh at. You have the alternative of using Miis but I think it's funn...
