Survivor: The Interactive Game, also simply known as Survivor, is a 2001 adventure video game for the PC, based on the American version of the TV series Survivor .

Gameplay consists of choosing survivors' skills (fishing, cooking, etc.), forming alliances, developing relationships with other tribe members, and voting off competitors at tribal council.
In the United States, the computer version of Survivor sold 260,000 copies and earned $4.0 million by August 2006, after its release in November 2001.

[4] Likewise, IGN gave the game a 'Terrible' 2.4 out of 10, stating "It is horribly boring and repetitive. The graphics are weak and even the greatest Survivor fan would break the CD in two after playing it for 20 minutes." [5] The game was the recipient of Game Revolution's lowest score of all time, an F−. [6] An 'interactive review' was created specially for the game, and features interactive comments like "The Survival periods are about as much fun as" followed by a drop-down menu, "watching paint dry/throbbing hemorrhoids/staring at air/being buried alive."
