These days, game shows seem to be coming back into prime time television. With thanks to shows like Game Show Marathon, The Price Is Right's Million Dollar Spectactualrs on CBS, and 1 VS. 100 starring Bob Saget, the return of prime time quiz shows hasn't been this exciting since Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with Regis Philbin several years ago on ABC. Now, that is all thanks to Deal Or No Deal with Howie Mandel. The show has been a real rating blockbuster, and has truly redefined the way game shows appeal to everyone, which is a real treat for those who've just drowned out of reality shows like American Idol, and Survivor. Now, there is one that comes straight for your computer, and is this a really good deal?

Deal Or No Deal, brings out all the action from the hit NBC quiz show onto the P.C. The game brings out all the gameplay with the game just like the show. The object is to choose a briefcase from 1 to 26, trying to give up the case. or going all way with each offer, hoping to win $1,000,000. The graphics are absolutely beautiful from the virtual models, to the look of placing Howie into a virtual edition of himself. Aside from the regular game itself, you can also play a custom made version, where you're playing for specialty versions of the game. There is only one disadvantage with the game, is that only virtual models are used carrying the cases, rather than the actual models from the game show.

All in all, there are many editions of Deal Or No Deal as a home game, and I definitely recommend the one for your computer. If you have a Windows XP computer, than you're really ready for the big deal from the banker. Otherwise, you can open any big cases at all, and that is unfortunately means, no deal, Howie!

This game is amazing. It gives you so many options, like you can chose what the prizes are. You can even be the banker. This game is Fun, and exiting. Buy it, you won't be disapointed.

This is an amazing game with great graphics, and sound. It is as if you are actually playing on the show. The game comes with a few other mini games on it which are fun also.

This game was super fun and it is just like the show. My kids and I love it. There are other games to play on there and you can change the prizes to be more appealing to you since the money you win is not real, you can make it into something that is, like hugs from the kids!! Must have if you watch the show, it is ten times better than the DVD version!

If you like the tv show you will like this game.
It's easy enough for the little ones to play, but
enough fun that the adults like it too.

This game is the real deal. My kids and I love watching Deal or No Deal on TV and become very involved in the game -- especially as it winds down to the last couple of cases. To say we truly hold our breath would not be an exageration.

This PC game is an amazing recreation of that TV experience and Howie Mandel as the host really makes it special. But what is really the thing I want to note here is the create your own prize feature. We have had a blast filling the briefcases with our own prizes and have made a special Christmas game we will play with our cousins when the come to visit for the holidays.

Game is just like if you were on TV and playing it.
Only negative is that you want it to move faster.

This is very true to the on screen TV show. A lot of fun to play

The graphics and artwork are great. This is just like the game show and even has a "head to head" feature which is very good. The only negative I could see is that all the models seem to have the same faces and bodies. Otherwise, this game is as close to perfect as I have seen.

Thought it was fun...i've played the computer game and the tv game...they both have their pro's and con's...i like the computer game because you see all the numbers and what you've knocked out...i like the tv one because it's more real life...then the comptuer game which is virtual...still a great game...
