I now have two copies of this game that do not work with XP. Thought new version was created and neglected to read prior feedback. My Mistake, I guess. Should be able to return for full refund.

This CD-Rom (from the makers of the great "You Don't Know Jack" series) is a huge disappointment! Because of the huge amount of data required for the annoying "Phone-A-Friend" feature, the number of questions on the disc is drastically reduced. As noted in other reviews here -- the first 10 questions literally repeat in consecutive games!
The sound and graphics are merely o.k and Regis is as smarmy as ever.
Beware of any title that can be prepared in such a short amount of time. Clearly intended to simply ride the "Millionaire" wave through the holiday shopping season.
There should br a free update

I bought this game for a friend and we played only 6 rounds before starting to get repeat questions. It was very disappointing. They should have allowed you to run the game from your hard drive and included an additional database cd with more questions. If it wasn't for the repeats this would have been a very cool game.

Looks good and all down hill from there. Played it six times, yes six, and then the questions repeated themselves. A genuine, first class, ripoff. Save your $$$$.

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!

The show did great and so will the game. As long as there is publicity for it, people will buy it. It's the oldest thing in the book.
Unfortunately I did not get the choice to rate this game lower than 1 Star. But then, that is a good thing, because my rating would probably be in the negative.
I don't paricularly like the show and I most certainly would not buy the game. Unfortunately a friend bought it and I had the wonderful experience to play it. There is just one thing that top's this disgrace and that is Deerhunter or Professional Bull Rider.
It is really no surprise that titles like that will take over the market. The computer business is being overrun by the everyday user who will blindly buy what is being spoon-fed in the media.
Insipid version of a passing fad

When Millionaire first was on in the summer of 1999, I was thoroughly addicted. This was novel, new television. Now, of course, it's repetitive and boring, but for a while there was really a spark there.
The computer game, however, always.... It hogged memory, was hard to control, and wasn't very much fun. It's sad, but the online free version at ABC.com was a lot more fun. I generally don't like games where there's no flexibility and very little fun, so if you're like me (and I would hope so!), avoid this one!
For $1 Million- Who wants to play this game?

Answer: No one. This game was a gift to my family and we only played it a few times, and then knew this game was NOT Disney quality. They rushed the game out while the show was at an all-time high, without working out the bugs. On the fastest finger question, if you get it wrong, Regis shuts off the game. The game takes almost 10 minutes for it to come on. You don't have to be a millionaire to know not to buy this game.

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.
