Advantages: Fun for all the family.

Disadvantages: Can be time-consuming and skip.

At Christmas my sister bought this game as a family present and we all gathered round our TV screen to play it. It is presented, as you might expect, just like the game on TV and is hosted by little video clips of Chris Tarrant which are interspersed through the game.

When the game loads you'll be given the chance to pick between 1 and 4 players; whether you want to play Junior or Adult questions and whether you'd like to be asked questions on General Knowledge, Sport or Entertainment.

Once you've made your choices you go straight onto the questions, presented just as they are in the TV show. You make your choice using the DVD controller and also have the 3 lifelines available on TV. If you pick Phone a Friend, you get taken to a separate screen where you can choose from three people, all of whom have their specialist subjects written beside their name and picture.

All in all, its a fun interactive DVD and well made. It feels more realistic than the old PlayStation game of the show that I once owned, due to the fact that there is video of Chris Tarrant and not just voiceovers and shots of the audience etc. which make you feel more immersed in the game.

The one major problem with it was that the selection seemed to jump about a lot. We would scroll through to select and answer and sometimes when we clicked, the selection seemed to jump up to Walk Away by itself and we'd have to finish our game prematurely. This may, however, just have been a fault with our disk.

We haven't found many problems with questions repeating themselves, but this is probably due to the fact that we don't play it very often.

It can be a bit timeconsuming sometimes having to select the number of players, question type etc. at the start of every game and listen to Chris Tarrant butting in regularly, but it will get the whole family together and shouting out at the TV. All in all, its good fun for all ages.

This edition is now out of date and unavailable most places, but later editions are available for between 12-15 quid and at that price would make an excellent stocking filler for Christmas for anyone in the family!

Summary: A fun interactive DVD game.
