Pulling this from the TAR 16 start thread:



Details from the release:


The Amazing Race (Ludia Inc.)
Get ready for around-the-world competition with the video game based on the eight-time Emmy® award-winning television series The Amazing Race where team players split up in pairs for a remarkable journey across exotic locations in a race against time. Players will face frantic challenges and tasks as they navigate through detours, roadblocks and other unpredictable game elements from the show. Working together strategically throughout the game is essential as each team tries to discover hidden clues that are crucial to getting them to the Pit Stop first -- and one step closer to ultimate victory at the check-in mat. This video game will be launched throughout North America across multiple platforms in tandem with the show's 16th season.

Survivor (Mindscape)
This game is perfect for any fan of the show Survivor. Players will be able to live like the contestants on Survivor. With challenges such as fishing, collecting food and participating in Immunity challenges, players will compete to outwit, outlast and outplay in order to be crowned the ultimate sole Survivor. Available on Wii  Nintendo DS platforms.

So...what do you all think?

Do you buy things like this?  Have any interest? Think it will be any good?  Know the company?  How long before it reaches overseas?


I'm curious....   ;D

I don't think they'll be any good, unfortunately.

I'll be buying them anyway.

On a side note: Does anybody have the Survivor: Australian Outback PC game? I do.

For the record, this has been in the works for a long time. i have tried to  contact Ludia via email with no success and I couln't even get them to answer there phone. I'm hopeful for a good product, but skeptical.

And to top it off i have an Xbox 360, not a WII.

They saw their error while in a cab, and decided that the walk part meant they had to walk while at the actual location of the Pit Stop (ie- No running)

Thanks for the pic and link, georgiapeach.  I didn't follow this thread until today.

I noticed that the tiny picture of the cover, in the pre-order link that you posted, was different, so I found a bigger version:



It'll be interesting to see who makes the final cover.  

Jaime & Cara, Mark & Michael, and Jet & Cord look to be set.

If your pic is newer, it looks like Herbert & Nathaniel, Kisha & Jen, Margie & Luke, and Kynt & Vyxsin got replaced by Tammy & Victor, Meghan & Cheyne, Monique & Shawne, and Brian & Ericka.

My brother has the Wii in the family. He plays that thing more than I do. I'm not huge on video games.

So even though this thing is out (it is, right?), I'm probably not going to pick it up.
I thought that when we fought, I was to blame
Now I know you play a different game
I've seen you dance with danger; still wanting more

Omg, can someone tell me which season and episode this was from?

Season 15, episode in czech republic (one when there was a non-el.), roadblock in the theatre

Further clarification on the Roadblock: Find a tiny mandolin under the theater seats.

Nope. Mandolin. I remember commenting on the choice of instrument the night the episode aired.

I have such a strange memory. Forgot most of what I learned in school, but was able to recite the TV Guide channel at three. Don't ask.

CLOSE-UP - In Close-Up, you are supposed to find the section of the picture that contains the close-up(shown on the left). Each mistake gives you a penalty.

I bought the iPod Touch Version and I played 2 times. I have done extremely well, although I do admit, I played on 'EASY' difficulty on both occasions.

My first run was with the 'Rockers' Cat & Ingrid:

Leg 1: Santiago, CHILE -> Honolulu, USA (1st place)

Leg 2: Honolulu, USA -> Nassau, BAHAMAS (1st place)

Leg 3: Nassau, BAHAMAS -> Moscow, RUSSIA (1st place)

Leg 4: Moscow, RUSSIA -> Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA (1st place)

Leg 5: Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA -> Beijing, CHINA (2nd place - that darn Military team beat me by two minutes!!! :cmas28 )

Leg 6: Beijing, CHINA -> Auckland, NEW ZEALAND (5th place - I guess it's safe to assume I misread the instructions on the Roadblock... :cmaslol )

Leg 7: Auckland, NEW ZEALAND -> Dubai, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (1st place)

Leg 8: Dubai, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -> Delhi, INDIA (1st place)

Leg 9: Delhi, INDIA -> Stockholm, SWEDEN (1st place)

Leg 10: Stockholm, SWEDEN -> Cairo, EGYPT (1st place)

Leg 11: Cairo, EGYPT -> Santiago, CHILE (1st place - $1,000,000!!! HOORAY!!!!) (The Students? F/F team came second by about 15 minutes, and the third team was about 7 hours behind, lol! :cmas30: :cmas22 )

My second attempt was with the Gothic team, 'Cassandra & Vincent':

Leg 1: Cairo, EGYPT -> Stockholm, SWEDEN (1st place)

Leg 2: Stockholm, SWEDEN -> Honolulu, USA (1st place)

Leg 3: Honolulu, USA -> Mexico City, MEXICO (4th place - the first time I tried 'Tomatina', I did VERY poorly! :mas25 )

Leg 4: Mexico City, MEXICO -> Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA (1st place)

Leg 5: Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA -> London, ENGLAND (1st place)

Leg 6: London, ENGLAND -> Bangkok, THAILAND (1st place)

Leg 7: Bangkok, THAILAND -> Sydney, AUSTRALIA!!!! :cmas9 (1st place - I have to win in my home city, lol :cmas27 )

Leg 8: Sydney, AUSTRALIA -> Nairobi, KENYA (3rd place - I picked a bad flight to save some money for the last three legs)

Leg 9: Nairobi, KENYA -> Beijing, CHINA (1st place)

Leg 10: Beijing, CHINA -> Rome, ITALY (1st place)

Leg 11: Rome, ITALY -> Cairo, EGYPT (1st place - $1,000,000 - Cat & Ingrid came second by just six minutes! Third place was the Military Couple and they were about 45 minutes behind)

Well, I guess it's safe to say that I mastered 'Easy' level! Tomorrow it's time to give the 'HARD' one a crack! I'm sure I won't win 9/11 legs on that difficulty! :cmaslol

I think that the game is pretty decent. I'm very disappointed that they aren't releasing an Australian version on Wii, as I was looking forward to it, but the iPod Game is fun too!

My favorite element is the unpredictability of the NEL legs. In my first attempts, the NELs were in Leg 3 (9 teams) and Leg 6 (7 teams), whereas my second attempt placed the NELs in Leg 6 (6 teams) and Leg 9 (4 teams).

I just wish there were some U-Turns or at least some Yields, as that would certainly make things more interesting! Also, you can claim BOTH Fast Forwards in this game, and sometimes, you still do a Detour/Roadblock afterwards.

Sorry for the extremely long post guys! Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy The Amazing Race and this game! :kisses :cmastree
