Don't Buy This!

I am so sorry I purchased this game! Although it boasts that is has 2,000 puzzles, it continually starts again at the beginning of the game each time you load it. It starts with *the same* puzzles each time you start the game. In addition, the "high score" board doesn't reflect any scores. And to top it all off, the only way I can exit out of the program is to shut down my computer! At first I thought I had a bad copy, but when I went to Encore's "technical support" page I was told they are aware of the problem but there is no fix available yet. This was in December 2007, 7 months ago! No fix yet? Nevertheless, they continue to sell this product. I am sooooo incredibly frustrated, and feel like I threw my money away.

We found this version of WoF didn't have the correct drivers as part of its installation and needed some Micromedai Flashman 3 drivers. In our particular case we had to organise another graphics card to cope with what was required. Not very IT friendly.

I have had previous Wheel games and enjoyed them but this version is excellent!

I had to look at several Wheel games to find one that was close to the actual TV game and NOT interactive with other on-line players.

This one is it.

The game is VERY challenging and that is a good thing.

I would recommend this game for anyone that wants to play at home.

Hangs up on XP and Vista

This game appears to have several bugs that cause it to hang up. I tried installing it on two different PCs; one with XP PRO and another brand new machine with VISTA. In both cases the game would install and play but then you could not exit the game. I've subsequently read about this same problem in other web reviews of the software. You need to terminate the game using the Windows Task Manager. It also does not remember your "avatar" when you re-launch the game. I tried to uninstall and re-install several times and got the same problems.

As a test I uninstalled this CD version and downloaded the game from the Sony (Wheel of Fortune) game website. The downloaded version behaved the same way.

It's too bad because it is a fun game. I am returning this game and would not recommend it.

It works for me!

Though I prefer Merv Griffin's other game show, "Jeopardy", "Wheel of Fortune" does have its merits and this home version does the latter justice. With Vanna White showing that she could possibly do more than just turn letters as the "hostess," replacing Pat Sajak, the CD-game is so fast-paced and similar to the nighttime show that it is most enjoyable. All the familiar categories are there ("Same Name," "Places," "Things," Before & After", "Events," and People, among others).

The game is easy to load, play, and even holds the attention of a non-reading four-year-old. The colorful graphics and simulated sounds captivated my nephew as he and I played a round yesterday.

I'm sure that there are other, and more advanced, versions out there but for my money, I'll stick with this one.

Fun and informative

I own the version by Infogames. It was almost like the TV game, using a split screen for the game board and contestants. It was slow, because of being an earlier version, but was fun to play. If you don't have a fast computer, this is for you.

DEFINITELY WORTH BUYING

LIKE THE TV SHOW, YOU ARE ON PINS AND NEEDLES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE QUOTE. IT IS ESPECIALLY FUN WHEN YOU PLAY WITH TWO OTHER OPPONENTS. GRAPHICS ARE GREAT AND VANNA ALMOST SEEMS TO BE RIGHT IN THE ROOM WITH YOU. IT GETS COMPLICATED ONCE IN A WHILE BUT IS FUN.

A good game show...a great game!!!

It was okay.You get to play a normal game,a solo,or a tourtment.I played normal against two computer players.I like the fact that Vanna White was in the game.Plus I liked the comments from the computer players.Yet like the other reveiwer said it would have been better if it had Pat Sajak.Yet It's fun if your stuck in the house on a rainy day.
