Summary: VERY DISSAPOINTING!
Review: While this game is fun, the questions repeat themselves WAY too much, and after a short amount of time. The review where the 11-year old said it was easy enough for him should say enough for you. VERY EASY Questions, and FREQUENTLY REPEATED! Spend your money on something a little more challenging! The multiplayer is lame too! Not what I expected from the makers of YOU DON'T KNOW JACK! GO BUY THOSE...THEY'RE MUCH MUCH BETTER! AND MORE FUN!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Feel like I'm right there!
Review: Faster than you can say: "John Carpenter should audit himself!", you are wisked right to "the chair". The music and graphics make you feel like you're right there. Aside from the fact that the game does not include Regis' lame jokes, or the fact that if you win the million, you can't print up a fake check to show your friends who don't believe you, it's a pretty good game.

Repeat questions? Sure. But what do you want? Jellyvision got this game out about the same time as the show went to it's first commercial. But they've successfully fulfilled our craving for that Philbin guy. It's got to be that, because it's sure not that we all think we're going to win the million. If it were the questions, we'd be buying Trivial Pursuits. Right?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think it's a great game
Review: Even though it repeats a lot o the same questions it's easier for a kid like me who's only 11. It also takes a little while to install it with a few errors here and there but once you get it installed it was worth the wait. So you have to take how good the game is at a kids point of view who probably dont know half those questions.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Who Wants to be a Millionaire
Review: Great game but...not nearly enough questions. After a couple of hours almost all questions are repeats.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: There should br a free update
Review: I bought this game for a friend and we played only 6 rounds before starting to get repeat questions. It was very disappointing. They should have allowed you to run the game from your hard drive and included an additional database cd with more questions. If it wasn't for the repeats this would have been a very cool game.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good, but needs more work
Review: First and foremost, the game needs more material. The questions repeat WAY too much than they ought to. Computer games I have from ten years ago don't repeat this often! The other problem with the game is that Regis does not ask you, "Is that your final answer?" until you answer at $500,000. He should start saying that at the $1,000 level. Regis also doesn't read the question, and the questions are timed. On the show, you could use the whole show on one question, though I'm sure they'd edit that down to an extent. But the game is pretty good. What they need to do is cut down on phone-a-friends (they have four per question!), and do more on the game material. But I did get to the million before the game started repeating, and so I'm glad of that.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Repeating Questions
Review: The game is good (if you like the show's concept) except for the repeating questions. The reason that there are so many repeating questions is because every question has a phone a friend lifeline which is actually carried out...you have to listen to 30 seconds of audio of a friend explaining their answer...I imagine that the CD is all filled up with these 30 second audio monologues. It's a cute concept but I would have preferred text to the audio so there could be 100's of more questions.

Buy Jeopardy instead...it's more fun and the questions don't repeat as often.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Game I have ever played
Review: The game has some serious installation problems. You first get an error "App.zip" cannot be installed. Then you get to figure out how to copy the files from the CD manually to a directory six files deep on the hard drive. Then the game failed to launch. I then disabled every program in memory and it finally launched. After playing this repetitive - terrible game for a while - we shut the computer off and then the game refused to launch again. We reinstalled the game several times and then it worked again.

This game has bugs galore and was obviously rushed to market. Their Web site has very little information on resolving the problems and after six days of e-mailing them I still don't have any replies. I want my money back!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY FUN
Review: It's a pain to see the same questions but when new ones pop up they are very good and challenging. The phone a friend people mostly don't know what they're talking about but Regis' wit and the shows music and graphics are outstanding. More questions=5 stars. Buy the game. It's pretty fun.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I'm glad it's only $19.95
Review: This is the most meager cash-in attempt I've ever seen. There may well be hundreds of questions, but it'll take you a thousand games to see them all. I was receiving a couple or three repeat questions by the fifth game, and a majority of repeats by game 10. There seems to be little or no gradual increase in difficulty, which was proven when I saw a $500 question later repeated as a $125,000 question later in the game.

An example of the game's inadequacy runs thusly: I am cruising through the game easily until the $32,000. Fine, by now I'm expecting them to be tough. I use the 50-50, then the call a friend, who says she is 75% certain the answer is (A). Just to be sure, I use the audience poll as well. Guess what, 92% say that (A) is their choice. Well, now I'm convinced and go with (A) as well. I'm WRONG, it's (B). That is just stupid beyond measure. If they wanted to throw me off, make the audience rating more like 60-40% or something.

Nice graphics, nice sounds, atrocious game mechanics. Wait for the improved version, or play it on the net.
