Nintendo Wii Review: Deal or No Deal - Page 2

The three self explanatory mini-games include Sharpshooter, Push Your Luck (choosing an empty case ends the game) and Blackjack, where you don’t go over $2,100. More mini-games involving the cases and other combination with popular games would have been nice and have great possibilities for a possible future installment. The high score marathon mini-game mode puts each mini-game in random order.

The easy difficulty and strong participation elements make this a decent game for younger players and players not familiar with the show. Once show fans and game show vets get oriented to the proceedings, the replay value might be lower due to no online options or lack of expanded multiplayer capabilities.

Show fans and casual gamers will find above average appeal and incentive as they try to improve their spot on the leader boards, but some extra additions and options would have enhanced the overall game play more. This game is a good way for new, unfamiliar players to learn the game.

Deal or No Deal is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Mild Suggestive Themes. This game can also be found on Nintendo DS and PC.
