Repeating Questions

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.

SAVE YOUR MONEY - DON'T BUY THIS GAME

To bad they don't allow us to select negative stars in the rating!

I must say that this is the worst game I've seen in a long time. Within 15 minutes of opeing the package and installing the game the questions were repeating. If you lose and play again, there's a 75% chance that the same question will appear again the next round. This was just pittifull. Save your money!

Very Disappointing!

The question database is pathetic. Questions started to repeat after the second round! Graphics and sound are good but the lack of questions make this product completely useless. The 30 second timer also takes away from the game. I emailed Disney Interactive asking if supplemental questions could be purchased, but they did not reply. Don't waste the $20, this game becomes boring very quickly.

ALL HYPE AND NO DELIVERY

It's obvious that this product was rushed out to take advantage of the hype around the show. The question base is limited (started getting repeat questions within 10 games), the game moves at too slow a speed and there is no way to customize the program so it meets the level of the player.

My hope is that Disney will create an upgrade that meets what consumers expect from a company like theirs. For all the money Disney is making on this network show being the number rated, they should upgrade this program and make the upgrades available to all who purchased the current version.

I don't recommend purchasing this product until they've upgraded it and made it worth the dollars it costs.

Great theme, horrible game

If you really like Who Want's to Be a Millionaire, like the multitude of television watchers that does, this game is almost worth the price. As said many times before, the questions begin to repeat soon after installing. Good graphics for a trivia game, humiliating remarks from Regis... it's good entertainment for a few days. Instead of this product, I would personally recommend the You Don't Know Jack series...

This game plays the same questions over and over. After two games, we began getting repeats. Surely the makers of this game could have added more questions? I could have thought of more myself. I felt bad that I ordered it as a Christmas gift. THIS GAME IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!

Good Potential...Very Disappointing

I gave this to my brother for his birthday and we were all very excited about playing....but within one nights play we had repeat questions. Sometimes as many as four times! Anyone that bought this first version should be entitled to FREE updates

Disappointed

I, like many people, am a huge fan of the show. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this... but what I got was disappointment. Like many other people the questions started repeating quickly. Also, unlike the game, you may have to use lifelines on the first few questions: in some cases, they're more difficult than the ones later on! The lack of Regis also makes an impact, and when he does come on, he's either delivering his lengthy between question speeches, or insulting you. This game is good for a little while... but after that, it's repetitive. If you can find some way to rent it for a few days, do that. Otherwise, wait awhile longer.

You will be a millionaire...

Okay, so I just got this for Christmas...I read a lot of the comments on here around the time it first came out and was hesitant to buy it myself...I already knew what to expect after playing it a few times. The graphics are nice at first, but get a bit tired. I didn't play enough to receive any repeat questions, but my brother has (I'm surprised he still hasn't earned a million dollars yet!)...coincidentally, I also got the "You Don't Know Jack" jumbo software, which I think is even more fun to play...as others have said, the questions don't repeat, and the host interacts with you a lot more...I suggest you buy that instead...overall, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" is pretty disappointing, considering it was made by the same company who created YDKJ...
