Game Almighty
You’ll wonder why you bought this game when you could just be picking random numbers out of a hat. When you see this title on the shelf of your local retailer, if you’re smarter than a fifth grader your final answer will be “No Deal.”

If you want a quick fix of Deal or No Deal on the go and you can overlook the dodgy graphics, the limited amount of Noel's speech and the fact it's just one five-minute game with some padding with the 'find the mug in the box' and Forfeit mode sections, then you'll enjoy this.

The title's design is too flawed to recommend it for purchase, so make a deal with yourself and avoid buying this game.

Deal or No Deal is simply one of the most dull and short-lived videogames of all time, barely fit for mobile phones let alone the mighty DS.

This is officially the lowest scored game in my entire career of reviewing games; the good news is that no matter what I review next, it can't be any worse.

IGN
It's a boring, pointless, annoying game that is fundamentally broken and thus rendered completely absurd, much like Howie Mandel himself. To top it off, the game isn't even budget priced, making it an even worse deal.

A $30 game about winning fake money by picking random numbers is awful to begin with, but a completely broken version of said game is another story altogether.

You lose if you buy Deal or No Deal, no matter how many times the game may say otherwise.

Deal or No Deal is proof TV shows don't always make a good video game. Or even a mediocre one. This is simply terrible – there's not a single redeeming feature in this whole sorry affair.

This is the kind of beast your mum wold describe to get you back in the house before curfew. [Oct 2007, p.77]

Just as bad as the TV show...if not worse. [Issue#17, p.92]

Jonathan H. gave it a0:
Zero. The first thing you wonder is why a gameshow based on luck is a video game. Pretty much, your hitting random boxes with your stylus. Very boring. FOr 30$, its no deal.

Lee B. gave it a0:
This gets a zero, not only is the game show format terrible and its a mystery to why people watch it but the game is broken and offers no challenge. A horrendous game of unspeakable crapness gets a 1 but a broken version of it is believe it or not even worse.....no deal

Alexis F. gave it a3:
The graphics aren't very good, very uh blothcy.... And there are only a very low ammount of statements the host actually says... Very boring.
