Deal or No Deal: The Banker Is Back (DS)

I got this game when I got golden balls (I have also rated this game) as it came in a two pack. Again this wasn't a very satisfying game show to Ds game combination. When you first turn on this game your asked to type in a user name so you can save any data. Once this is completed you can play the game either in one player mode or multi player (single card play) The game is set out just like the Tv show where there are 22 red boxes and you eliminate the boxes without trying to lose the big money. One thing which isn't the same as the Tv show is you get to pick what number box you would like. On one player mode you have the option of being the ...  Read the complete review

Surely there can't be many worse ideas than a quiz game where the outcome is completely and utterly random and the contestant is asked to be able to display no more skill than being able to count up to twenty-two, can there? How about a computer game version where the only redeeming feature of the TV show - winning money - is removed? Or worse, where the graphics are so irredeemably awful that they genuinely look like an 8-bit game from the 1980s? It can't get any worse than that. Can it? How about two of them? This is, indeed, the second DS game based on Noel Edmonds' skill- and interest-free cosmic-ordering poo-fest Deal Or No Deal. Even if you like the show ...  Read the complete review

Deal or No Deal : The Banker is Back is a game for the Nintendo DS. The game is based on the Channel 4 game show presented by Noel Edmonds and he appears on the front of the game's packaging. The main part of the game is playing Deal or No Deal in the traditional way, where you have to decide whether to accept an offer of money for your box at certain points throughout the game, or carry on in the hope of winning more virtual money. You can also opt to play the game as the banker, so you have to make offers to the contestant. This is interesting to play a couple of times given the novelty factor, but I found even this additional mode did little to ...  Read the complete review

I did not buy this game I borrowed my cousins and I must say that I was glad that I did not purchase the game. This game is just like the game show which after a while I think gets pretty boring as it drives me crazy when watching on the telly as I think some people get greedy and that leaves me shouting at the TV, on the occasions that I have watched it. The graphics on the Nintendo DS are good, they are not the best that I have seen but as they are only a game show so I do not think that this needs to have outstanding graphics to play this style of game. The game starts with a video introduction with sound, and then there are 22 ...  Read the complete review

THis is the sequel to the UK version of Deal or No deal on the DS and i have to commend them for the improvements. It is much more fun than the first game, with added features, graphically and gamplaywise. The TV show is all about opening boxes, and revealing set monetary amounts on the board, and attempting to knock out the bad lower amounts, whilst keeping the high ones intact. The box you choose at the beginning is like leverage, and you can either play to the end and take this home, or accept a deal from the banker. Firstly, the graphics are much improved, and playing it seems more realistic and fun. The players' faces are more rounded and ...  Read the complete review
