Bullseye DVD Game (2005)

Bullseye is an adaptation of the British game show of the same name made for DVD players, developed by a British company named Spike and published by board game company Upstarts for the 2005 holiday season.

Why It Super Smashing Sucks

 * 1) Jim Bowen and Tony Green, the presenter and announcer from the original series, are nowhere to be seen. There is only a voiceover (Voiced by Sid Waddell) who sounds quite odd and silly.
 * 2) The aiming is absolutely slipperly and dreadful. It is represented by blue markers, which most of the time won't be what you selected, (even when you tried to hit trible 20 or more on Bully's Star Prize Gamble) so you get something else on the dartboard instead of what you chose to begin with.
 * 3) The set looks extremely dull at best, just a black room with two "Bullseye" logos on two walls plus, the set in actual game is just blue background and the dartboard, that's all.
 * 4) The game is incredibly slow to respond.
 * 5) Questions frequently repeat between games.
 * 6) The gameplay is not faithful or follows the original show at all. One example is that in Bully's Prize Board, the value of the prizes you win goes onto your score. In the actual show, the prizes are won by the contestant if they hit the red on a number of the board (although from Series 11 onwards, they would have to be gambled alongside the money if the player wanted to go for the Star Prize Gamble).
 * 7) The only other thing you get in the box alongside the DVD keep case is a poor-quality replica of a Bendy Bully which can fall apart quite easily.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The intro looks rather nice, despite the poor animation.
 * 2) Bully is the only likable protagonist in this game, as he had some appearances in this game whatsoever.
 * 3) The graphics on human hand, dart and dartboard looks decent for the time.
 * 4) The actual Bullseye theme appears instead of a cheap-sounding version, unlike on most DVD games from this time period.
 * 5) *Even the Bully's "Moo" stock sound is heard whenever the player gave its answer wrong.
 * 6) A newer version released a year later in 2006 (developed by Music&Brands and published by ITV DVD) fixes almost all the problems this game has. Bully appears much more frequently, Jim Bowen and Tony Green reprise their roles as host and announcer, it has a far better-looking set, gameplay that is more faithful to the show, and many things included from the original show as well (including the intro, music, and the cel-animated clips).
