Major Disappointment

I recently purchased this version and absolutely hate it. I owned a previous version containing video of Vanna White and allowing me to play using different locations as a backdrop. The graphics were much better than this version. I wish the other version worked on my new computer, as I doubt I'll ever use this one.

Slow, few options, still entertaining

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows Vista, but had no compatible games, so I bought Wheel of Fortune. To be honest, I'm not sure they tested this game too well with Vista -- it occasionally shuts down mid-game, and will almost NEVER close properly -- try to exit the game, and 90& of the time it is "Not Responding" for at least 3 to 4 minutes before finally closing down...very annoying, as it takes up every bit of the 1G of RAM I have to run, and makes it almost impossible to do anything else on the computer until the game finally decides to close itself. Possibly if you have 2G of RAM, this will function more smoothly for you.

There are few options -- you can't play with more than one player (you can play alone, or against 2 computer opponents). There are very few options after that. One annoying feature is the super-short amount if time is gives you in the bonus round to type in the rest of the answer...not NEARLY long enough if you've got a longer puzzle.

That being said, I am still highly addicted to this game! But I sure wish it performed better, because it runs very poorly. The older version is MUCH, MUCH better if you've got an XP platform.

Games ok but got easily bored

I was somewhat disappointed with the product. I was expecting Vanna White and Pat Sajak to be included in the video as with the earlier versions...

Wheel Of Fortune Deluxe. It's certainly a lot better than Jeopardy! Deluxe and Jeopardy. Those PC games ware ruined by making the responses multiple choice. But there is a downside : The 2,000 puzzles. Although that is a lot of puzzles, for me it's not enough becuase I am constantly getting the same puzzles again and again. And not just that, The computer opponents are difficult to defeat. They have difficulty setting but that doesn't do much. They are Still difficult to defeat on the "EASY" setting. Other than that, This is a grat Wheel Of Fortune Game. Now, if only a Nintendo DS or Wii version would be released.

Nice New features

This new 2007 Deluxe version of Wheel of Fortune is identical to the downloadable versions now available on MSN and Yahoo Games. That isn't a bad thing, mind you... its just the same. There's no annoying video clips of Vanna White to slow you down, and it is extensive in the stat keeping department as well. Moves along fast, and the Puzzle a Day is a really nice bonus that is exclusive to this year's version.

I'm glad they removed Vanna however...

They should have left all the other features. I love that you can create you own look for each person but I miss the backgrounds you were able to choose on the old version. This game is fun don't get me wrong but it's missing something and I think it needs more options, but Vanna being gone is a blessing she was so freakin irritating and slow. The old version was much slower this one is about right.

Great game - almost as good as tv show

This game is great - teaches spelling and good sportsmanship. A lot of fun (and fun to watch the "player's" reactions when they get something right or wrong! Great family game :)

Good, but the wheel spins forever....

this game is good overall, but it takes a ridiculously long time to play because the wheel spins for what seems like an exaggeratedly long time...you do get to create your character and play 3, 5, or 7 city tours. also, you can play a puzzle of the day and earn trophies for your accomplishments...really fun if you love wheel of fortune and have the patience to wait for the wheel :)

Fun Fun Fun

We do like this game very much. It's been a great aid in helping my grandson with the alphabet. He gets into the game!!
