BAD idea. Removing the host and the audience makes an already over-the-top game downright ludicrous. It also makes it too much like a "reality-show" which I can't stand for the life of me. It's PERFECT the way it is. Uh-uh. BAD idea. Removing the host and the audience makes an already over-the-top game downright ludicrous.

This has Fox written all over it. They could air this as either a time filler until American Idol is ready, or, as a lead in (or out) for Idol. As for the game, I love it. It got that feel of The Matrix and (as Alex mentioned) Beat the Clock. I agree. This has Fox written all over it.

I know which of these most TV companies would prefer. So, tactically, you have to either have to have a game so strong people would watch it even with a lower prize range, or a much bigger prize.

I can just see it now: "It's the game where percision is key... reflexes must be swift... & patience is a MUST.... Do you have what it takes to beat.....THE CUBE? It's the show you'll be talking about tomorrow". Honestly, Matrix effects or not, can't they make it more obnoxous than that? I mean, you're litterally playing a real-life "video game". I can just imagine how that'll translate to Nintendo's Wii. You're not just whistling dixie, my friend. I can just see it now:

I mean I like it myself, but I'm worried it's not gonna be taken seriously by any TV audience, especially if you got to a 50k or 100k game. As for the matrix and etc, I'd almost prefer to see the whole show done with just the cube and a disembodied voice and maybe The Body in a neighboring cube watching. Give it a more bizarre claustrophobic solitary feel. I think the blend of cube-of-doom and studio-audience feel isn't working. Take out the host and audience, and put it on gsn or g4 I think it's a tad….silly.

(I agree with all your comments.) It just feels like a Fox show to me. It's almost perfect as it is. Just save the bullet-time for the instant replays. IAWAYC. (I agree with all your comments.)
