Summary: A very depressing effort that could've been so much more
Review: When Disney Interactive released "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," in early 2000, they anticipated a very warm response to the disc, which had a firm but low opening price. However, when actually being played, the game is sure to depress. If it isn't crudely simple, the design is poor and uninspired. The entire game is essentially based on one lackluster thing: Regis Philbin repeating the same phrases over and over again. "Be Sure to come back to... Who Wants to be a Millionaire." "I hope you'll join me again on... Who Wants to be a Millionaire." If one doesn't decide to resell (or simply trash) this game within its first week of purchase, they work for Disney Interactive or are Regis themselves. Don't waste your time on this pitiful effort.

Summary: Entertaining for a short period of time
Review: I think that the review at the top of this game has it right -- not enough questions. Also, the $100 through $1000 questions are too hard (compared to the TV show).Another annoying feature is the inability to skip past stuff that you have seen a million times, that is redundant to you. I bought this game out of boredom, and I think that I paid about $... for it. If you like the TV show, then don't pay any more than that. But, if you see it on the rack real cheap, then hey, pick it up.

Summary: Short-Lasting, Realistic, and Drawn-Out
Review: This game matches with the real thing quite well, but has too few questions to endure. If you've never seen the show, it's simply a series of fifteen, each increasing in dollar amount until the last, million-dollar question. It's drawn out. There's a speech clip for each dollar amount, answer, and other things. The infamous "final answer" option only appears when you take a while to answer, unfortunately. The lifelines are realistic, minus the fact that "phone a friend" is really "phone Regis's friend". The "fast finger" scrambles the choices, and the first correct key pressed wins. The graphics are pretty good and there are neat animations. I recommend this for Millionare fanatics or trivia people, but only those who won't run out of questions.

Summary: a total waste of money
Review: Believe me, I would give this game zero stars if Amazon.com allowed me. I received this for Christmas as a gift and let me tell you. This is possibly the worst piece of garbage put on the market. I mean, the questions run out fast leaving the game to replay old questions which are easy once you get to know them which means the replay value isn't very high. If you want a fun game try the Sims or Delta Force: Landwarrior. Your time would be better spent with those games .

Summary: It would have been fine...it just didn't work!
Review: Now I have nothing against the TV show. Tis game has a fastest-finger question. Me and my brother tried to do a F-F question. When we didn't do it fast enough virtual Regis Philbin said good-bye and the game went away! Fun, but has some bugs in it.

Summary: Only three questions in this game... when it's working!!
Review: Would have a good review if the developers spent more than five minutes slapping this together. By the second or third time through the questions were already repeating themselves - awful! Plus multiplayer is just a "fastest-finger" question to determine who plays solo. Big deal! The worst part is the game only runs about two or three times before it crashes on startup. This is on an Intel PC with name-brand components, no cheap swap-meet stuff. The only solution has been to uninstall and reinstall the game. A visit to the Disney Interactive site for tech support... umm where is it? Because of this I can't recommend anyone purchase this game. They've come out with a second edition of this game (wow, so quick?) Perhaps this version works?

Summary: Who wants to be a millionaire? I do, I do!
Review: First let's start off with this statment, I am terrable at Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I love the show, I'm just terrable at answering the questions. But the first time I played this game, I won $64,000! I even surprised myself! The next time I was full of confedence and hoping to get a lot more, you know what happened? I ended up using all my lifelines before the $300 question and walked away! Now you know how bad I am at this game! But in about two weeks, I had already seen all the questions and won $1,000,000! That's understandable since I couldent stop playing it. Even after that I still find myself playing this game every now and then. It just goes to show you how addictive this game is. When my sister started playing it she couldn't stop and once when a check for $1,000 appeared on the screan, she asked me "Can you print that?"

Summary: Just like in the hot seat
Review: The pressure is on! I was at the $1 million question and suddenly I became really nervous, just like I would've on the real show! The question was about Aesop's fables. I used my 50-50 and the remaining answers were A & D. Then I used my final lifeline and phoned a friend. Regis's friend said it was A. I agreed with him and it was my final answer. YES! I HAD WON A MILLION DOLLARS! You might think it would've calmed me down, bt guess what? It made me even more nervous! This game is not worth it unless you want to rattle your insides. If you wanna feel the pressure and do the game, try the second edition. I haven't played it yet, but I think there'll be much less pressure. Although if you're smart, you might win $64,000 on your first game (like I did.) Also: THe questions keep repeating. Avoid this game like it is a mosquito or a bee or a wasp or something like that.

Summary: Not Perfect, But Not A Bad Try
Review: When I first heard that "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" was going to be made into a computer game, I thought it would be nice to try out. When I heard that the game was being developed by Jellyvision, the makers of my all-time favorite computer game, You Don't Know Jack, I just had to buy a copy! Well, I was a little disappointed. For one thing, the "multiplayer game" only lasts for about 15 seconds. After that, only one person gets to play until he reaches the end or misses a question. If you play solo (which is basically the best way to go), questions repeat A LOT! But, don't worry, because I've had the game since Christmas 1999, and I am still finding at least two or three questions I haven't seen before. In conclusion, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, I must admit, was a very hard task for Jellyvision to accomplish. It would have been nicer if they had made a You Don't Know Jack-like version of the game with Regis as the host or something. But you know the worst thing about it? You can now get the entire game FREE if you buy a box of Lucky Charms! I SPENT ALL THAT MONEY ON SOMETHING I CAN NOW GET FOR FREE!! AAARRRRGGGHHH! :-)

Summary: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Review: The game did not sucessfully install on the first attempt. Once installed it is unstable. The game is CD ROM intensive. Don't spend the money, try the second edition.
