Are you a Dwarfer? Know someone who is? Then this should be on the shelf along with their other RD prize posessions. With three types of player; General Knowledge, Viewer and Geek, anyone can play it. For the die-hard Dwarfer, select 'Geek'... average watcher and fan, select 'Viewer', and for those who just don't want to be left out while the fans play a stunning trivia game, select 'General Knowledge'.
I was impressed at the interaction and programming behind the game. DVDs aren't the smartest of computers and so highly involved calculations aren't on the cards, and yet there is a reasonable degree of randomness built in. This works really well, allowing you to play the game over and over, yet never the same twice.
Overall, as a bit of a "Boy from the Dwarf" m'self, and proud owner of all the 8 released-to-date seasons of the hit show, I found this to be a great way to pass a few hours testing my knowledge of the cult TV classic. I loved this game, and would highly recommend it to any fan of the show, or as a suitable gift by any friend or family member of one.
