To put it simply this game sucks! If you don't like someone, give them this as a christmas present. The original Atari games were more challenging and entertaning than this(...). Wizard Works should have WORKED on this game before they released it. I don't watch the show but, you shouldn't have to, to "get" playing the game.

Can't get the challenges to work

I have purchased two of these games. I have installed them on three different computers and each time the game stops working at the challenge screen You are supposed to get information on what controls to use during the challenge, but all that happens is the players stand around waiting to start. The game seems really cool if it would work correctly.

I really wanted this game, so I got it, came home, and installed it. The game freezes (screen goes blank) after the 1st reward challenge every time. I even got another copy of survivor and that one does the same thing. Im thinking it has something do do with my computer but i installed it on another computer and the same thing so i dont know. So id say this game is fun I just wish, it would work.

must get

This game is going to be the best game yet. The graehics might be a little bad but, who cares if the graehics are bad.When I get that game I am going to have fun. And the fun is what its is all about. And stratedgy don't forget stratedgy. I know this is going to be such a good game because you get to be one of the 32 characters you have to find food and water,and of courst the imunity challenge you can't have the game survivor with out the imunity challenge.And like the real survivor you have to, vot a person off every 3 days. So like I was saying it is going it be so sweet!

A fun new game

I really can't wait until I can buy this game. It looks like a load of fun. Even if the graphics arnt the best, I wont care because someone finally made the effort to bring this game to CDROM. Whats next, a N64 edition?

Let me say I LOVE the Survivor TV show. So Infogrames or whatever the heck they call themselves released this game, I eagerly bought it. Too bad I didn't realize the game was fun for about five minutes. The computer is inconsistent, pathetic, dumb, and downright boring to talk to. The "challenges" are easy, boring, and quite bland. Even the screenshots are misleading. You see a screen with everyone sitting around the campfire. I never ONCE saw that in the game, and I got to after the merge. What B.S! The advertisements are misleading- STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME! Sorry Infogrames, you blew it.

One game...No Survivors

My wife is the "Survivor" freak and I got this game thinking it would get her involved with me and gamming (and the price was right at the time). Well she played it for like 20 minutes and the game never came up in conversation again. What a bad idea. In hind sight, the game publisher should have paid me to play the game and think I would have thrown it back at them.

AI is hard to get right in any game, but this game set a new standard in REALLY STUPID AI. While in camp mode, your supposed to walk around, conduct tasks, talk to tribe members and influence their decisions while making alliances. It never mattered what you did in camp, it made absolutly no difference in the rest of the game.

The challenges were just too stupid and repetative to list. You could make it to the end of this game in one sitting because winning immunity was that easy.

The graphics were terrible. The sound was terrible. Overall, just a terrible game. You will not surive this if you buy it.

I'll Survive... but this won't!

Secretly, I knew that they could never fully reproduce the intensity of the CBS tv series, but I had to be sure... I really wanted to like this game--having played it now, several times, I fail to see how that's possible.

The game is seperated into periods: a 'survival' period; a reward challenge period; another 'survival' period; and lastly, Tribal Council.

The Survival period is where the 'Interactive game' element comes into question. In a very poorly rendered Desert area, with trees that are so very flat, you'd think this was cell-shaded (we should be so lucky). At the opening you must 'scramble to find a role in the camp' proclaims the manual--I beg to differ. You must click one job you want to watch your 3-Dimensional blob they try to pass for a player do for you--the scramble is ridiculous--the computer selects jobs for the other players at a snail's pace, so you hardly need worry... not like having a job is that important to the gameplay anyway.

You now get to sit back for 3 minutes and watch your character wander around, catching invisible fish, and putting invisible twigs on the fire (during the blazing heat of the day, no less!), and you have no interaction whatsoever. Oh, sure, you CAN click on another player to talk to them, but you get canned responces that prove extremely useless in the grand scheme of things--here is a snippet of my conversation with Tina Wesson, winnder of Survivor: Outback:

Cody: What do you think of our alliance?
Tina: Our alliance is strong.
Cody: Who are you voting for at Tribal Council?
Tina: I'm not going to tell you.

As you can see, there is absolutely no AI to these characters at all, and even if you do have an 'alliance', don't be too shocked when you suddenly get voted out of the tribe, or if your 'alliance' all suddenly votes completely different from what you agreed--and trust me, this isn't a reality 'backstabbing' element either--it's just lazy programming.

Then there are challenges. reward challenges, first of all, are useless, because having a blanket or chocolate has no effect on your player whatsoever. The immunity challenges are repetitive and boring, all durative of the same 4 challenge types... it's a shame, too, because this is the only actual 'interactive' element to this game. And most just involved upping or lowering a stamina bar and watching your character move themself around.

It's a shame Infogrames was in such a rush to release this game, because they could have done so much better.

The tribe has spoken--this game stinks.
