Could have been much better

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!

2 hours of game play, a most! Sloppy production to make $$

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. . .

The game did not sucessfully install on the first attempt. Once installed it is unstable. The game is CD ROM intensive. Don't spend the money, try the second edition.

This Game is Okay but just okay wait for sale

This game isnt that bad but I have only had it for one day. It crashed first time before I even got first question, then when i finally hit the million it crashed again still saved my status but I didnt get to see my check or much fanfare. As for repetitive questions yes I got some after a few times playing, but I did get some new ones thats why I only hit the mill once. Regarding timer you can always pause and look up the answer if u memorized question. And as far as Regis being rude yes he is but it makes the game fun thats what I like about you dont know jack (another jellyvision game) dont take it so seriously people , but if you are sensitive or playing with kids then well there should be a warning I guess.I gave the game 3 stars just because I felt sorry for it. Prob would of gotten more sorry stars if it wasnt from Disney.

A very depressing effort that could've been so much more

When Disney Interactive released "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," in early 2000, they anticipated a very warm response to the disc, which had a firm but low opening price. However, when actually being played, the game is sure to depress. If it isn't crudely simple, the design is poor and uninspired. The entire game is essentially based on one lackluster thing: Regis Philbin repeating the same phrases over and over again. "Be Sure to come back to... Who Wants to be a Millionaire." "I hope you'll join me again on... Who Wants to be a Millionaire." If one doesn't decide to resell (or simply trash) this game within its first week of purchase, they work for Disney Interactive or are Regis themselves. Don't waste your time on this pitiful effort.

Good Game

This is game is a lot of fun to play! It is like being on the show only a little bit easier in some parts. In my class, I play it at recess with other people and we have a great time! Some of the questions are pretty hard. I would recommend this game. It is lots of fun and I like trying hard to get to $1 million. I also learn new things too! If you are hesitating to buy this game, just go out and buy it! To me, this game is lots of fun!

Great Game

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire CD-ROM game is an excellent game. It is like the television show and the graphics and sound are excellent. The Phone-A Friend Lifeline is an excellent way to contact people if you need help.

If you like the TV show, then go out and grab a copy of the CD-ROM game. It is definitely worth it!

This game is very fun, but sometimes it is too hard. Also, at the beginning, you can not skip about five minutes of it. This game is good if you are an adult.

Repetitive and not accurate

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.

THIS GAME LACKS QUESTIONS,AND REPEATS THEM OVER AND OVER,200 QUESTIONS? MORE LIKE 40,BUT REGIS IS HILARIOUS! BUT THE FASTEST FINGER IS WAY OFF,I HAVE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS EXCEPT THE LACK OF QUESTIONS AND THE FF ROUND.
