I gave this a present to my Grandma. We played it at hers it was good, but it would have been nice if you could choose vowel or consonant.

Great game just very slow

Fans of the Countdown show will be massively disappointed if they bought this DVD - while those unfamiliar with the game will wonder what on earth is its point, and with good reason.The charm, purpose, educational value and entertainment of the Countdown show are entirely lost in this most baffling and anachronistic DVD format.Let's get this straight: you DON'T get to select letters; you need to WRITE DOWN the letters on a PAPER before the 30-second clock begins, as the letters then disappear off the screen for good(!); and after the 30-second countdown you're asked how many letters have you got, after which... the next round begins! I.e., you do not enter your word for verification, nor do you get any possible solutions. Shocking.The whole notion of playing with a pen and paper while viewing a DVD on a computer is retarded. Honestly, websites using static HTML could have ended up with a better product than this.There is no Dictionary Corner, no banter between Carol and Des and, in short, there is absolutely nothing about this DVD that resembles a game, a TV show, or Countdown itself.There is not even style to make up for the lack of substance. The DVD's graphics and design are sloppy and of extremely poor quality.Whatever you do, just honestly stay away from this product.

Good product My little one is obsessed with countdown and this fits the bill.If you like countdown this is the one for you.

Not that good
