Deal o No Deal? Yeah, I choose no deal. Okay, we got the obvious joke out of the way, now let’s get on with the introduction. Deal o No Deal, a game mostrar that I have no knowledge of. Despite living with my grandma who watches game shows all the time, I never really caught her watching any Deal o No Deal. Now The Prices is Right, that is a video game I would play. I have no knowledge of the show, what it’s about, o what made it so popular to get a video game. It’s not uncommon for game shows to get a video game based on them. I mean Jeporedy and Family Feud get video games all the time. But what was it that made Deal o No Deal on the DS so exceptionally awful? Well, it was made por Destination Software, responsible for classic titles like Balls of Fury on the Wii… oh dear.



So the título screen starts tu off with this really obnoxious sound when tu mover the cursor to different modes, so my first instinct was to turn it off. But when I did, it turned off every sound in the game, voices included. So, we gotta stick with this obnoxious sound. I also took notice of the compressed sound. I know the DS had a lot of compressed audio, but man, this is really bad. It’s like it was ripped straight off an illegal MP3 website from 2001. Now I have an all new respect for the ripped soundtrack of Elite Beat Agents that are compressed online. Anyway, we start off with our lovely host, Howie Mandel. Kinda looks like Shido from Persona 5. But in the game… ugh. Why’s he gotta look like the creature from Bride of the Monster. And also, is he doing the fucking pose from that “You know I had to do it to ‘em” meme? After we get introduced to him, his army of twenty six Slender Women with ghost trails walk onto the field and we can finally start the game. For those that don’t watch Deal o No Deal, like me, I assume the goal is to pick a maletín with the million dollars in it and when dado the choice of a set number, unsure of what is in the maletín tu have, tu could choose to accept the deal o not. So does this game do that? Oh yeah, it sure does. But man, is it… not really fun. tu pick a case, tu then pick seven others, tu get an offer on what to do, and tu just keep that up. It’s a very long, dull game. And I hope tu like hearing what I assume is the Deal o No Deal theme song, because it plays after every round. And near the end when tu are selecting one case at a time, it plays so much that it starts to get really grating. That being said, it’s just a poor man’s Deal o No Deal. But tu probably want to know if I won o not? Well, let me tell you, when I got the offer for $400,000, I had a feeling my lucky case 7 was the right one. It was a tough battle of attrition, but I was determined that at least $400,000 was in that case. I told the banker no. I don’t want your $100,000. I want that solid $400,000 and I am leaving with it, whether tu like it o not. I kept the 7, even with the chance to trade, I kept at it, and I went inicial with a solid… $1….. Fuck this game.
So yeah, that was Deal o No Deal. Basic as can be, pretty much a watered down, dull version of a game mostrar I have never seen before. And sadly, it’s the only game on here I’ve beaten so far. If tu don’t find nothing but hitting the A button and really not caring about your decisions that much, then here tu go. Maybe game shows loose their thrill when a million dollars aren’t on the line, I don’t know. What I do know is that I spent fifty cents on the Deal o No Deal video game, so I think I lost más than just a million dollars.
