IF you're driven wild by Anne Robinson, having your own version of The Weakest Link for PlayStation isn't going to help your blood pressure.
The infuriating quiz mistress is even more of a pain in her cyber persona.
She has caustic comments about your game play and a piercing stare that lifts right off the screen at you.
The game is an accurate representation of its TV counterpart, right from the start-up to the credits.
There is a choice of 24 fellow contestants from Eddie, the podgy truck driver, to William, the brainy air traffic controller, some with accents and attitudes even more annoying than Mrs Robinson.
Up to seven players can participate, although the game does not support a multi-tap so it's a question of passing round the two controllers.
You can play against the computerised contestants or just with your friends and decide which round to begin.
Questions are displayed with multiple-choice answers (easy mode) or just initial letters of the answer (normal mode).
The need to respond speedily builds up the pressure. And don't forget to "bank" your winnings.
A bend-the-rules option allows players to reduce the number of questions on their weaker subjects and increase them in areas where they feel more competent.
You can also add more abuse from Anne (if that's what turns you on). Graphics are high-quality, interspersed with video-clips from the programme.
Comments and voting do not always root out the true weakest link - and the computer seems perversely inclined to vote off human competitors.
Activision appears keen to emulate the success of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? (also on PlayStation) and has made a fair attempt.
For fans of the TV version, it could become compulsive but for others it could prove just a walk of shame.
Price: £24.99 (PlayStation and PC), £39.99 (PlayStation 2).
