Final Thoughts
Whatever else might happen on the TV show, it does uncover hidden gems of talent. Take a look at the originalSusan Boyle cliporPaul Pottsfor classic examples – just make sure you've got tissues nearby for any tears. Britain's Got Talent Megaways, the slot, on the other hand, comes across as a generic, soulless, corporate appliance that lessens the concept of Megaways. Once upon a time, new Megaways releases were a big deal, a headfirst dive into a creative vortex of unique experiences. Over the years, as so many studios have licensed it and had a go, the veneer of untouchability has chipped away in places. Stunners are still released, no argument, but Britain's Got Talent Megaways does nothing to raise the bell curve, relying almost exclusively on brand recognition.
Brand is an appropriate word here in a project that feels completely devoid of passion. It wouldn’t be a surprise if hardcore fans of the TV show are underwhelmed by this. Britain's Got Talent is famous for flamboyance, emotion, drama, and yes, talent. However, aside from the name, there's very little in the slot that really expresses the show. Okay, it has a few silhouetted images of performers in the background, a couple of buttons and X's, but it's all so lifeless. Contrast this one to the DOND range, another big, branded British TV-to-slot crossover, which largely gets it right because solid elements of the show can be experienced in-game.
Technically, Britain's Got Talent Megaways does have the features and big potential of around 20,000x+ to provide entertaining moments. Fair dues. However, there are far more inspiring Megaways games to enjoy. It's as if a board room committee made up of people who had never played games or seen the show before met to design a slot. The bones were provided by theVIP Branded Megawaystemplate, a bunch of stock images of entertainers were pasted in, and everything was rolled up to make a quick bob. Apologies to anyone who poured their heart into this, but it just didn't feel like there was much desire to wow fans of the show.
