Purchasing this game I had the high expectations of experiencing the same enjoyment as I do while watching the game while it is on TV. Unfortunately I was greatly disappointed. While at the beginning it is enjoyable (mostly for the novelty sake) the questions quickly begin repeating themselves which make this game not worth the time or the effort. If you are indeed a fan of the show, the second version is indeed better although they still appear to be in a need to make a fast buck off of this game. My overall suggestion would be to continue to wait until the programmers spend more time and effort on this game rather that continually trying to make a fast buck off of the novelty of the show.
Fun for the first FIVE minutes!

After only one day of play, I knew the answer to all the questions. I feel cheated! You'd think with all the space available on the CD, they'd fill it with more questions and less of Philbin's cynical remarks!
IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY FUN

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.
YAWN!

As soon as the game was offered we ordered it right up and are so disappointed with it! The graphics are ok but within an hour we were millionaires! Not much of a challenge because the same questions are repeated so often!
Don't Even go near this game!

This game is just another money maker by disney. All they are trying to do is capitilize on the new game show fad. Regis in this game has the worst perosnality and is even worse than the real thing. Also the questions keep repeating with there only being 200. When I first got it I played for about 30 minutes and then the game started getting errors. Disney of course wants me to pay more than I bought the game for to return it and then only get a new one. If you ask me Disney do not care about its customers anymore; just MONEY!
Absolutely the most pathetic software program ever written

Holy fat mama! This game was the most hideous thing I have ever played. Not only is it easier than the TV show, its twice as dumb! The first and second questions I was asked the first time I played were the same stinkin' question. From the third game on, I never went without a repeat question. You should stay away from this. It will probably eventually drive you insane by the low-fi sound clip of Regis saying "Final Answer?" anyways. Try some of the not-as-pathetic games by eXpert software. Such as extreme paintball, deer hunter, and other quickly thrown together titles. It gets a second star for being functional (barely)
Free with the purchase of a box of cereal (I am NOT joking)

Free, with the purchase of a specific brand of rice-flavored cereal: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, 1st Edition. The complete game. Yes, the CD is right there on the front of the cereal box.
Does anything else need to be said?
a total waste of money

Believe me, I would give this game zero stars if Amazon.com allowed me.
I received this for Christmas as a gift and let me tell you. This is possibly the worst piece of garbage put on the market. I mean, the questions run out fast leaving the game to replay old questions which are easy once you get to know them which means the replay value isn't very high. If you want a fun game try the Sims or Delta Force: Landwarrior. Your time would be better spent with those games .
Who wants to waste their money?

I bought this CD rom when over in the US from the UK, being a huge fan of the show, I got it home and thought it was a joke. Regis isn't funny, the clock kept beating me and every time I used a lifeline I seemed to lose on it. The highest i've got to is $64,000 and I don't think I'm that stupid. The questions repeat too much and the clock, kept making me make stupid errors. Another thing that really annoyed me, is the levels of questions. I often found questions for $8,000 or $16,000 easier than ones for $100 or $200. If you want to play this game without spending about 20 dollars. Go to ABC.com and play their online game, It's better than the CD Rom
Fun but repaditive.

All and all its a great game. It is just like the show but they need more questions. Once you have played for a few days, its real easy to become a millionaire.( I wish it was that easy)
