I ordered this game because it said it was for Windows XP. However, it didn't work on my computer. I order programs and games that say they will work with Windows XP but this one didn't. If you have Windows XP - think twice before ordering it.
Good game.

Great game, what more can be said? Millions of questions that test your knowledge, the only difference is that there is no suspense at all, because you are playing it and you can play it over and over again. You get your three lifelines, one of which is calling your best friend (not in real life). Regis will call the plumber, the butcher and so on to help you with the question at hand and each has their own unique personality. There is not much that can be said about this game, you press the key for the letter choice (A.B.C.D.) of the answer.

This is the second installment of Who Whant To Be A Millionare. And it it is better in many ways. First of all I see the creators have found their mistake in the 1st edition so they added a ton of question so that it will probally wont repeat. They also have improved the graphics Regis looks better. But this game still has its flaws. For one the questions are to hard I still haven't won the million. Regis still says the same thing over and over. They still didn't do anything to improve the lifelines. And you still can't get around that intro which takes for ever. Also they didn't even try to do anything with the fastest finger. I still don't recommend this but you might want to give it a try.
Throwing a party? Otherwise, eww..

As the title says, this game is stupid alone. However, as a party game, it's awesome. I played it with 8 other people and it was really intense and fun. I bought it myself and returned it the next day- it just wasnt worth it.
Awful!

The questions are IMPOSSIBLE to answer - especially with the stupid time limit (which, correct me if I'm wrong, ISN'T on the show) -- The first $100 question I was asked was which popular singer is referred to as the Chairman of the Board...
Silly questions - WAY to hard to answer... stupid game. And Regis Philbin is the most annoying man alive!
Wow, you must have this game!!!

Who Wants To Be a Millionaire is the best game ever.
It's for the family will enjoy. If you like the Tv show,you'll
like the cd game.
Great Experience -- Content Lacking

This game does as well as it can to replicate the TV experience. Regis' voice and videos, lifelines just as on the show, the whole works. But you'd better enjoy it, because the "replay value" is minimal. There are only about 600 questions here, and that means that after about 20 games, you will be seeing a lot of repeat questions, enough to really spoil the fun.
On a CD there should be room for many thousands of questions. But the use of audio files for the "phone-a-friend" lifeline likely eats up a lot of the available space. If they were all authentic, some people might judge it worthwhile. But most of them seem to be the silly "psychic hotline" responses, and these are definitely not worth it.
At ..., it still makes sense for fans of the show to give this a shot -- just be aware that you'll only get a week or two of enjoyment out of it. If you want a larger database of questions, consider the board game at ..., which *does* have several thousand questions.
Not much re-playability

Don't get me wrong. This game is good. But, after you run through it for a few hours, it kind of gets boring. You get to hear Regis say the same things over and over, and you start to lose interest. The good thing is that the game is relativly inexpensive.
I'm Regis baby!!!!!!

I bought this game about a year ago for a good price...but guess what it's done for a year. It's sat on my shelf and collected dust. If you haven't gotton my point already...THIS IS A TERRIBLE GAME! First of all, if you think Regis is annoying on T.V.... Also, the questions are almost IMPOSSIBLE to answer. (However, I am only a kid, so adults might argue with that last comment.) Also, if you don't answer the fastest finger question right after a few tries, the game exits! All in all, even though this game is priced good, it's REALLY bad. I'd give it -5 stars if I could.
