The Weakest Link (also known as Weakest Link in the English (US) version and Le Maillon Faible in the French version) is a video game based on the television game show of the same name, developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Activision under license from BBC Multimedia for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows platforms (although the PlayStation 2 port was released exclusively in Europe). In the English (UK / US) version, Anne Robinson, the television show's real-life host, features in the game throughout gameplay and recorded footage.

Reception

[edit]

The PlayStation version received "mixed" reviews, while the PC version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[19][20]

IGN criticized the PC version's gameplay for slow pace and the graphics by stating they were "drab".[12]
