Customer Reviews:

• Boring
  One of the worse games I have ever played. You can get half way around the board by just selecting spin. There is more chance in this game then Go Fish. We have loved the TV show but all 6 of us found this game too boring to ever play again. Save your money.

• What I expected and still alot of fun.
  I Figured a DVD format would have to be limited and except for the joint "last leg" complaints I thought the game was alot of fun. Worked best in our normal group of 4 couples and keeping people from cheating was half the fun. We had a blast playing and being an after Christmas bargain at 12 bucks, I thought it was a steal. ...more info
• Fun game for many, suggestion for improvement
  Our whole family (even members who have never seen the TV show) has really enjoyed playing this game (out of 4 DVD games given at Christmas, this is the only one that has been repeatedly played).
  
  As has been frequently cited in the posted reviews, the final leg format diminishes some of the fun at the end of the game (why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars). My suggestion for the creators would be to have the team select their multiple choice answer much like the answer is selected for the "Team Think" where the selection isn't visible on the TV screen. Using the remote control's up, down, left, or right arrows would continue to allow the 4 multiple choice options.
  
  To the engineers, designers and creators of the game: this DVD seemlessly flows between options and keeps track of each team's location within the game amazingly well while injecting the energy, scenes from past shows, and great int'l locations which make AR so entertaining. Great game!...more info
• amazing race-ok, not what I expected
  we are big amazing race fans, thought this would be a blast to play with my family. it's ok, but lacks variety in the "challenges" presented and wasn't as interactive as I had hoped....more info
• Great family game!
  This is a great game for the whole family. We play quite a bit and have had the game for a couple of years. I keep looking for a new disc and if anyone connected with the game can read this - NEED MORE!
  
  I have to say that just when we thing we have seen everything we get a whole new set of questions.
  
  About the ending.
  We do the last leg 2 ways: Either we just leave the room and take breaks for each other or we blind our eyes (like when you were 5). Also we have a portable dvd player and when we played on vacation we just turned the portable to the person answering....more info
• Great fun for Amazing Race fans
  This is a very fun game to play. Like other reviewers have said, when you first hear Phil's voice and the AR music, you do get a little tingle, especially those of us that have always wanted to be on the show. I think the game is more fun with many people playing.
  
  Two small issues:
  
  First, I echo the issues with the final leg. There should be more questions.
  
  Second, has anyone else noticed a pattern with the Head Start? I've noticed that if you select a two team game with the red team being the first team chosen, you'll get Dallas as the city every time. This was so much an issue that I actually returned the game because I thought it was defective. Then with my second copy, I figured out that there was a pattern.
  
  I do hope that future versions of the game come out. I'll happily buy again....more info
• Problems (on some DVD players)
  This game kept crashing and the same questions came up time and again, it never changed. We tried to play two games, but the DVD came up with an error after the 1st leg everytime. Did someone else have this problem, or what is just us?
  ---We finally managed to get this to work. It's a fun game but like many DVDs now, it won't work on all players. It won't work well at all on our portable player, but on our little Philips player it worked great. I think they need to maintain some standards with DVDs, imagine the uproar in the past if a given VHS tape wouldn't play in all VCRs! If you can get the game to work and you like TAR on tv, you'll really enjoy the game....more info
