Disappointed
Review date: 2007-08-18 Rating: 2 out of 10
This is a different and harder version than the TV game show making it less fun and impossible to keep control of the board. Having to write your answers on the cards provided is a fiddly and teadous way of playing, leaving not a even a little bit of fun to be had from this game.
This is not an interactive DVD game like the cover says because if it was you'd be able to tell the DVD your answers instead of having to write them on the cards.

On the case it says 'Featuring the famous uh-uh wrong answer sound'. Where is it on the game? Never heard it once. I am very suprised this company that made the DVD have not been fined for breaking Sales of Goods Act. The uh-uh noise is one of the top 5 tv noises. Plus having a DVD game where need to keep your own score is pathetic. Could have ramdonised the actual rounds - not a game as it appears. You know which questions will come on next. Bore me.
AWFUL

I am in full agreement with others reviewers that the Interactive DVD Game of the Family Fortunes is awful. The interactive game lacks the realism of the actual game televised on TV. Where is Les Dennis? He host this show for over 10 years. We get some unknown voice. Who the hell is he? Playing on DVD fails to reflect the real experience of playing family fortunes, which affects your enjoyment. When you are watching the show on TV, your expectations are high of the game, but in this case it is a total blunder. If you play it on a conventional game set, it is comparatively much better as opposed to an interactive DVD version. It took me a while to get grips with the game, which I struggled and was forced to give up at one stage. Eventually, I did, but bitterly dissapointed. DO YOURSELF FAVOUR AVOID BUYING THIS GAME.
Utter Rubbish

It is an interactive as a book. And you are forced to play the game in a particular way which is not mirrored in the TV show.
In the Big Money round, you have to guess the top answers - no marks for second answers.
Basically, a book of Family Fortunes would be much better than this. They have forgotten to put something in this DVD - fun.
Abysmal, Thy Name is 'Interactive Family Fortunes'

How disappointed am I? My arms can't stretch far enough.
Expecting a gimmick-for-gimmick, perfect depiction of the classic gameshow, from the 'ehh-uhhs', to the familiar music, to even a snifter of barely ONE of the show's hosts (Bob Monkhouse, Max Bygraves, Les Dennis, Andy Collins, any of them would have sufficed), I was kicked firmly in the goolies and told to stop expecting so much.
Instead of a game which at least has some connection to the show it's representing, you get a hurried, cheaply-made composition of unfamiliar tunes, barely interactive gameplay (pressing 'select' to reveal answers after you've written them down, with a pencil you supposedly receive with the DVD yet don't) and the undying stench of 'cheap cash-in' lingering all the way through. It didn't even take particularly long to finish one game ~ the premise is there, the execution is not.
I swapped this DVD up the day after buying it for interactive Telly Addicts, which suffice to say has satisfied me far more than this cheap shambles ever could've done. If you still haven't been put off getting it, read all the other reviews. If, after that, you STILL want to experience Interactive Family Fortunes, please RENT rather than BUY ~ I don't want anyone else making the same mistake it seems so many of us have already made.
