I disliked this alot. The problem with these games is it takes so much investment to get to a portion of the game that is mildly exciting and then someone either loses or bails out and then we have to START ALL OVER AGAIN! Boring in my opinion.

Doesn't
Millionaire have sort of the same problem?
Plus if it's me against the mob and the mob wants me to get the question wrong so they get the money, please tell me "WHY WOULD I ASK THE MOB FOR HELP?" If you picked me, instead of saying "yes, I know that because....", why wouldn't I say "I just guessed, I'm probably wrong" to mislead them.
Remember, the mob wants you to go really far, and THEN lose. That way, they get more money. It's all a matter of strategy.
Then the second time you ask for help, they change the rules. There is just WAY too much going on here.
On
Millionaire, you got a 50:50, an Ask the Audience, and a Phone-a-Friend. You didn't get three Phone-a-Friends. It's simply two different "helps."
And the question type on a few, instead of saying HORSE, DOG, CAT...The one with hooves, the one that is Benji, the one with 9 lives....UG...just an added layer that is not needed!
Actually, if done correctly, this can be a
great tool. You're required to not only know that Seabiscuit is a horse, but that a horse has hooves.
True, this is sort of a silly use because only an abject moron would not know a horse has hooves, but if you get a question like "Which actor is married to [insert actress here]?" and the choices are "The one who starred in [insert movie here]" then you have a very challenging question.
Overall...Thumbs down for me! Lame!
Well, to each their own. I like it.
