There are four available formats for "The Game".  On laserdisc there's a Criterion Special Edition, the DTS movie-only version, the Dolby Digital movie-only version.  There's also a DVD Dolby Digital movie-only version that's not 16:9 enhanced.  While the picture quality is decent in all of the formats, it's not spectacular in any of them.  Even the DVD version appears with less definition than is typical to the format.  The fact that it's not enhanced for 16:9 tv is even more of a detriment.  However, Director David Fincher always uses his soundmix to create an enthralling atmosphere that's as important to the film as any of its characters.   For this purpose alone, none of the available formats equal the sheer entertainment value of the DTS LASERDISC.  The picture quality of  all the laserdiscs appear too similar to differentiate, decent but imperfect, with inconsistent contrast control.    The Dolby Digital sound is extremely active, adding numerous moments of tension with subtle thrills and surprises.  However, the DTS version enhances the separational  effects with such clarity that it surpasses the other versions in sheer entertainment values by leaps and bounds.  Even the last scene consisting of dialogue leading up to a Jefferson Airplane song has an entirely new impact in DTS.

While the DTS version surpasses the Dolby Digital version due to its enhanced clarity, if one only has Dolby Digital equipment, there's no disappointment in this version.   It's filled with effects and surpasses the standard "pro-logic" version in the same manner that a good DTS mix  surpasses Dolby Digital.  In fact, the Dolby Digital laserdisc has better clarity than found on the DVD version.  The picture quality of  this laserdisc is equal to the DTS version, with fine fleshtones, but contrast that varies in quality, especially in the darker scenes.
