I loved this TV game as a kid (and still do - ch 19 DAVE on an sunday) but unfortunately this is a very poor comparisson. This game only lets you have 3 teams (I know not in line with the game instead of 4 as said on the box (as you get as error sheet in the box correcting you). The questions are so easy thats it's embarassing to answer them, and the same level of knowledge carries on round after round and the toughest option is trying to excuse yourself from the room and let everyone else carry one with this torture!! I do not jest!! I would actually give this NO STARS if I had the option

Great show ... but DVD's are not for games!
Review date: 2006-12-09 Rating: 4 out of 10

I knew DVD games were poor from playing those of friends, but I felt the crazy desire to purchase Bullseye with the legendary - and best - host of the show, "Sir" Jim Bowen.

And indeed it suffered from the usual pitfalls. Slow loading times between clips and repeated questions during the same game being the most obvious. And with no difficuly levels, the aiming at the dartboard is ridiculously easy. You can hit a bullseye for any category on the categories round, a treble 20 with your "single" dart in the second round, and all nine prizes on the prize board without any bother. We had to resort to playing it with our eyes closed by the second game!

The £100 questions in the first round are also often pathetically simple. This probably boils down to the fact that these DVD games merely chuck out any question at random.

It's great seeing Jim, the opening sequence, the prize board and pictures of the cheesy 80s prizes, but these are the only redeeming features and I can see few people playing it more than a handful of times.

DVD's are not the platform for quiz games. It's a quick easy collection of video clips with minimal front ends thrown together on the cheap to make a quick buck. These companies need to stop being so lazy and program them properly for the PC, where many of the DVD shortcomings can be overcome.

Too easy and so slow !!!!!!!!!

This game is so easy with no option to change the difficulty levels and therefore after playing only once I will not be playing the game again. The real problem is the lack of depth within the game with friends and family becoming bored waiting for their turn to come around. The game also suffers from the usual DVD timelag, which is an unfortunate problem but really spoils your enjoyment of the game. It's unfair to compare this game to Buzz or other PS2 quiz games, but if you do own a PS2 buy a quiz game for that instead and keep the family entertained over Christmas.

Super Smashing Great (about time too!)

I have the orginal Bullseye DVD by Upstarts and the aiming on that was dreadful. For instance, my partner selected History and got Spelling! Also it was slow

Played it at a mate's home and the aiming is much better and seeing the 80s photos of actual prizes makes the game more realistic. Is on my partner's list of things to buy for Christmas.

Fun and entertaining

I am really impressed with the Classic Bullseye - The Interactive Game. The game emulates the real experience of playing Bullseye in a TV simulation with the voices of Jim Bowen and Tony Green. The main format of the game that is fully and comprehensively implemented which includes the starter questions, pound for points (but only one dart, rather than three darts), winning star prizes and the final round where you have a choice to gamble your prizes. The game is easy to play and follow, once you alter your dart aiming abilities.

Overall. a fun and entertaining game to play with friends and families. All interactive games should follow the model of Classic Bullseye- The Interactive Game. It is perfectly delievered.
