I'm not sure why it gets so much hate in these reviews. In my opinion they have faithfully recreated the games from the drama series to surprising effect and the tension between the players is closer to the drama than I would expect as well.
My only minor complaint (watched up to the penultimate episode) is that they leaned too much on the backstabbing nominate-my-enemy type games for the later episodes - I would have preferred mostly chance/skill/strategy games with just a couple of nasty backstabbers thrown in... It would have had more impact when it happened, that way - instead it did feel a bit too reality-show towards the end.
Looking forward to the finale!
