I enjoyed it enough that I'll tune in next week. I know that Jane Lynch wasn't as harsh as Anne or George, but it came off as pretty good. The set looks gorgeous, and the continuous shots looked amazing. However, the rapid panning-shots looked like something out of Saw instead of a game show. I'm also not a fan of the timer disappearing mid-round, and then popping up again at the 30 second mark.
I played along with the premiere episode of the original US run, and I felt like I got about the same amount right, bar the then-pop culture questions like the number of Lethal Weapon sequels or the robotic dog made by Tiger Electronics.
Although I'm a fan of distributing the rounds so that every round isn't worth $125,000, I don't like how they technically cut out a few more questions by not having a seventh round, and I know that's going to cause some rounds where the strongest link gets voted off right before the Head-to-Head, but I'm indifferent to that. I also think the chains for the later rounds is a little too harsh; the final round's chain, percentagewise with the top amount, was
(100%, 60%, 40%, 20%, 8%, 4%, 2%, 0.8%)
while the final chain in this game is
(100%, 50%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%)
That's too harsh of a change, in my opinion. I guess it's theoretically offset by the percentages being nicer in the first few rounds, and this final round being worth double what the last final round was in 2001, but practically the amount of the winnings value gained is half of what it was in the past until you chain seven questions together.
EDIT: I'm not taking into account the gameplay of the contestants just yet, but at least due to the touchscreens, there wasn't time wasted asking to repeat the question.
8/10 from me.
