Summary: Free with the purchase of a box of cereal (I am NOT joking)
Review: Free, with the purchase of a specific brand of rice-flavored cereal: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, 1st Edition. The complete game. Yes, the CD is right there on the front of the cereal box.

Does anything else need to be said?

Summary: 2.5 stars
Review: I liked this game at first. The graphics were good, and it was fun to be in the "hot seat". But the questions are MUCH harder than on the tv show to me, The first few questions are the easiest as usual but they are much harder than the first few questions on the tv show. Another thing is there aren't very many questions and they are REPEATED ALL THE TIME! Now I don't have the add-on, so maybe that would help but I really would'nt buy it if I knew about these major flaws.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Repetitive and not accurate
Review: There are two problems with this game:

1) Not enough questions, and not enough repetition logic.

2) The "phone a friend" lifeline is completely useless. If you were on the show, you would phone a real friend and you would have a good idea whether or not they *should* know the answer. On this, you're just calling Regis' friends, so it's not really useful at all. Therefore it's not an accurate representation of the real game. (yes that's bad, and no I don't have a suggestion around the problem)

The game is fun for the first 5 games or so, until you start getting more questions repeated. It's not a full priced game though, so you kind of get what you paid for.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't waste your money; Only fun for first 1/2 hr-1 hr
Review: At first, I was very excited about getting this game. When I got it, I really enjoyed it. It started out as a solid 4-star game, great questions, sarcasm from Regis, heart-pounding music, it had it all. The only initial problem was that the first few questions were too hard. But then after 1 hr. of playing it...WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I BOUGHT THIS GAME! The questions kept repeating, and repeating, and repeating! After playing it for 2 days of playing 1 hr. each day, I can get up to $125,000 almost everytime because I remember all the answers! Besides the very limited supply of questions, the multiplayer game was also pretty bad. Given, there are more good things about it then there are bad things, but the bad things are absolutely unforgivable. The only reason to get this game would be to learn about 200 new facts (the # of questions) because you're guaranteed to remember ALL of them after only about a week of playing.

Summary: For $1 Million- Who wants to play this game?
Review: Answer: No one. This game was a gift to my family and we only played it a few times, and then knew this game was NOT Disney quality. They rushed the game out while the show was at an all-time high, without working out the bugs. On the fastest finger question, if you get it wrong, Regis shuts off the game. The game takes almost 10 minutes for it to come on. You don't have to be a millionaire to know not to buy this game.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's OK, But I Can Get A Million Every Time I Play!
Review: The thing is that there isn't enough questions. Not NEARLY enough questions. I can get a mill every time cause I memorised all the answers! Sheesh! Get the 2nd edition, there's more questions, and it's actually hard, except one question... (How many eyes does a giraffe have? Yi! ) Really, even if you don't have this version, get the second edition and don't waste your money on this. Enjoy!

Summary: Let down!
Review: My mom is a HUGE fan of this show. I bought this game for her for mother's day. I was completely embarrased when we discovered how ridiculous it was and actually went out to get her something else! The questions repeat themselves so often it is embarrassing and insulting to the consumer. They should have had at least 1000 questions available. The game repeated its first question after we had played three games. Now every question is a repeat and the CD might as well be a coaster for all the good it is now! The graphics are pretty well done... looks a lot like the show but the content is poor. I expected much better.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not worth the time, and thats my final answer.
Review: Purchasing this game I had the high expectations of experiencing the same enjoyment as I do while watching the game while it is on TV. Unfortunately I was greatly disappointed. While at the beginning it is enjoyable (mostly for the novelty sake) the questions quickly begin repeating themselves which make this game not worth the time or the effort. If you are indeed a fan of the show, the second version is indeed better although they still appear to be in a need to make a fast buck off of this game. My overall suggestion would be to continue to wait until the programmers spend more time and effort on this game rather that continually trying to make a fast buck off of the novelty of the show.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good - But Gets Boring
Review: This is a great software. Everything seems real, and the graphics are great. The only problem is that the game starts repeating questions you've already had, it gets annoying because when you use ask the audience and phone a friend and their wrong. This also gets boring most of the time, so i'd suggest buying the secong edition if you already have this one. It is a great follow up. Also, there is one very annoying thing Regis does which you should be carful about. When you do a fast finger question, someone has to get is right, and if they don't Regis says "Oh my god, what happened here! Oh. . .eh. . .godness! I'm outta here!" and then the game quits! I can't believe Hasbro did that! To make sure that, that doesn't happen you should always play with two or more players. This is a great game in general, and it is really fun, but it is more fun if you have two or more people. Also, before you buy this make sure that you are prepared because these are harder questions then the TV edition. It's like you're startiong at the $1,000 question, but some questions are easy. This CD is also good for kids because it can increase their vocabulary and education, but an adult should always be around when they are playing to help them. I suggest this for you and your family, because it is entertaining and fun!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't Even go near this game!
Review: This game is just another money maker by disney. All they are trying to do is capitilize on the new game show fad. Regis in this game has the worst perosnality and is even worse than the real thing. Also the questions keep repeating with there only being 200. When I first got it I played for about 30 minutes and then the game started getting errors. Disney of course wants me to pay more than I bought the game for to return it and then only get a new one. If you ask me Disney do not care about its customers anymore; just MONEY!
