A Nintendo Wii version was also released.
As well as the single player mode, there's also 'Training Mode', whereby you can play an endless series of any of the three Countdown disciplines, as well as multiplayer mode over the DS WiFi - sadly, this doesn't work in the form of playing a regular game, instead playing a 'best of 3' concept in either letters, numbers or conundrum, unfortunately.
I'd say the DS version is probably the best official Countdown game you're gonna find anywhere (although that's not saying much, to be fair).Force Field - The Crystal Maze Theme (8-bit)mongrelvids2011-07-21 | Perhaps the best game show ever has its tune 8-bit-ified.

As well as the music, the full game had voices calling out the letters/numbers and asking to reveal the conundrum, but they weren't Richard or Carol. There were also recreations of the show's opening titles.
Totally forgotten how to enter numbers solutions properly, but I remember it was rather like pulling teeth.
