Summary: Could have been much better
Review: This is a fun game for about an hour or two. After that, the questions repeat (at the lower levels especially). On a Cd-Rom, you'd expect there to be a ton of space for lots and lots of questions. Unfortunately, much of this space has to be taken for the lifelines that were programed in. Think about it: for every question, they had to also put in a phone-a-friend, as well as ask-the-audience results (which by the way does not tend to be all that helpful of a lifeline). Obviously I am not against lifelines, but perhaps a 2-disk set would have been better (where all the info for one disk is stored on the hard drive). That would have given many more questions (not as many repeats), and maybe even a virtual-Regis every now and then!

Summary: Who wants to waste their money?
Review: I bought this CD rom when over in the US from the UK, being a huge fan of the show, I got it home and thought it was a joke. Regis isn't funny, the clock kept beating me and every time I used a lifeline I seemed to lose on it. The highest i've got to is $64,000 and I don't think I'm that stupid. The questions repeat too much and the clock, kept making me make stupid errors. Another thing that really annoyed me, is the levels of questions. I often found questions for $8,000 or $16,000 easier than ones for $100 or $200. If you want to play this game without spending about 20 dollars. Go to ABC.com and play their online game, It's better than the CD Rom

Summary: 2 hours of game play, a most! Sloppy production to make $$
Review: Now I like the television show, dont get me wrong, but the gamein comparison just gets stupid. This computer game was obviously puttogether only to make more money off the sucess of the tv show. For example, the "genius", or should I say not so genius creaters of this game put so few questions in the game that the questions begin repeating again and again. How would someone think he is being challenged if he is getting repeat questions? Oh, he (or she) cant. Despite this atrocity (the repeating questions) I did enjoy the game for the first 2 hours. The lifelines were good. Plus, the game is made by Jellyvision, the same makers of "You Dont Know Jack" and the setup is quite like that series. . .

Summary: A Bad Game!
Review: The only thing good about this game is that it is cheap! The question keep repating after 2 or 3 games, and the pictures are really bad. Save your money on something better.

Review: The Game is fun if you are patient to sit through alot of talking by regis. the problems that I have found seem to echo those of others who have purchased the game. The questions are repetitive. It needs a larger base of questions.I do like the timer feature. To me it makes the game more exciting and faster. I you want to pause the game and go look up the answer, just hit the "esc" button and that will do the trick.I agree that the game can be a little insulting but the atempt here is to mimick the real game. Even though I gave it only Three stars I still Recomend this Game if you like the show. Not Buying the game (if you are a fan )is like being a fan of the St.louis Rams And not owning as much as tee shirt with their logo on it.

Summary: "Who wants to be.... timed?"
Review: I agree with an earlier reviewer. There is a timer in this game. You only get 30 seconds to answer each question. That's it. Now you tell me, is that fair? For goodness sake, when I saw the online game at abc.com, it had a timer. So I said to my self "Hmmm, those poor soles that have to play the game at abc.com! When I get my new millionaire cd, I'll get unlimited time to ponder the intellectual significance of these brain teasing questions." I never would have dreamed that this utter mistake for a cdrom would actually have a timer! We paid $20 to be timed! Heck, if I wanted to be timed, I'd play the online game. Millionaire 2 will have 600 questions. I don't know if it too will have a timer. I hope for Disney's sake, they don't. Judging by all these reviews, I really doubt people will shell out another $20 for a game with new questions, and no improvements. Pathetic. Just Pathetic. Save your money.

Summary: Great, but needs improvements
Review: I'm a little disappointed I spent [money] on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, however, I have read the reviews on this site, and I'd like to make a few comments. First of all, yes, the number of available questions is too low, but it takes up a lot of space on the CD for each question. The Phone-a-friend lifeline, for instance, plays a sound file. FOR EACH QUESTION. If you wanted 2,500 questions, the game would need to ship on 15 CD's! It's forgivable, considering the overall quality of everything else in the game, but I think people who buy this game should be entitled to free updates/replacements when the improved version of WWTBAM is released. Overall, very fun and true to the show, but very limited number of questions, the fact that they didn't include a SKIP button for some graphics/sound (does Regis EVER stop talking? ^_^), and a horrible multiplayer mode, detracts from what could otherwise be a very enjoyable game.

Summary: Should be shareware
Review: A previous reviewer stated that she was a teacher for the mentally-impaired, and was insulted by the speech context. Give me a break ! That's part of the game. I find that the game is was right on track in the beginning. However, after playing the game for about five times, it started giving repetitive questions. For the amount of questions that this program has, they should make it shareware and let you decide if you want to pay the [money] for registration. Then, you can have more questions downloaded. Otherwise this game is a great disappointment and not worth the [money].

Summary: Obvious
Review: The show did great and so will the game. As long as there is publicity for it, people will buy it. It's the oldest thing in the book. Unfortunately I did not get the choice to rate this game lower than 1 Star. But then, that is a good thing, because my rating would probably be in the negative. I don't paricularly like the show and I most certainly would not buy the game. Unfortunately a friend bought it and I had the wonderful experience to play it. There is just one thing that top's this disgrace and that is Deerhunter or Professional Bull Rider. It is really no surprise that titles like that will take over the market. The computer business is being overrun by the everyday user who will blindly buy what is being spoon-fed in the media.

Summary: insulting
Review: As a teacher of educable mentally impaired middle school students, I can only say one thing, "Your CD version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", is extremely insulting. I brought it to class for game day and the kids were thrilled! We sat down to play and didn't quite get the two or more player directions displayed on the screen. It was then that Regis started calling us "dummies" as well as "pathetic" and then shuts down the game! Can you imagine the reactions of these kids who already suffer from low self-esteem. What is the deal with Regis firing these abusive names and coments at the players. You should be absolutly ashamed at this type of name calling which we absolutely discourage at our school as well as in the home. "Get rid of the degrading comments, Regis". The kids are writing a letter today in composition class. I think an apology is in order. Sincerely, Debi Ruggeri
