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!

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.
HORRIBLE!

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.

Just received this and it said on Amazon website that it works with windows XP but it doesn't. The box says windows 95 and 98. And there was a contest registration that expired in 2000! So this game is very old and doesn't work on XP despite what Amazon says.
Arrrrgh!!!! Make the pain go away!!!!

After suffering through the first "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" game, I felt hopeless. I was dazed and confused. I didn't have a whisper of hope for the future of humanity. And then I saw the second game in the series on the shelves. I said, "I'd heard the questions aren't repeated as much", and I decided to buy it just to see if it was true.
It's true, the questions aren't repeated as much as before. The problem is, now they're MUCH harder! It's impossible to get anything higher than $16,000 now! And since the questions don't repeat, you'll never get to the top!
But what's the worst part? That's the ONLY CHANGE that was made to this game. NOTHING ELSE!!!!! It's as if the first game had no problems whatsoever! Regis is STILL appallingly rude and impatient, the "Fastest Finger" mode STILL doesn't let you put the four answers in order, the game STILL quits if you take too long to do things, you STILL can't skip the introduction sequence, the Phone-a-friend lifeline is STILL worthless, there's STILL no option to make the games easier or harder, you STILL only get instructions once, and there's STILL no option to use the mouse! Regis even says EXACTLY the same stuff as before!
I bought the game out of total curiosity, just to see if this game was really any better than the first. As it turns out, it is virtually the EXACT SAME GAME. It has all the problems of the first, except for one which was replaced by another one!
This game has not been improved one bit over the first. The makers didn't even try to improve it. This game displays total laziness and lack of creativity. It's not worth one second of your time.
It totally sucks

I bought this game thinking that it would be better than the first one (Which was really bad). It turned out to be the exact same thing! The only difference was different questions! Dont be fooled by those-"New and better than ever!" signs. I would say "New and suckier than ever!" The questions are alot harder in the game than on TV (Which you would think that it would be easier on the video game because its not real money).
Any ways I would say if you liked the first one you'll like this but other wise DONT BUY IT! Regis also is very annoying in this game. Enough negetive stuff-you know my point. I wouldn't recamend this at all.
Worse than the first

Anybody who says this game is an improvement over the first one must have got a different copy than me. The difficulty level of the questions is TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER! Don't believe me? Sample $200 Question: What force would cause the ice cream to spin off the cone while on a twirling merry-go-round? Sample $300 Question: What biological process replicates DNA. They're not impossible to answer, but it's very annoying to get them so early on. Any die hard fan of the show (like me) knows that questions like that would never be asked that soon into the game. On the plus side, Regis, the graphics and the music are all first rate. It's just a shame that programmers couldn't get the questions right, again.

this is a boring game where all the questions are just repeated over and over. every time you get a answer you hear regises dumb voice making som idiotic comment. IT is ok the first couple of times you play it but after that it gets really boring. You would be better of playing it at a friends house or renting it or somthing but deffinately dont buy it.

For true trivia buffs, this game is not worth it. The questions are pretty standard, and not interesting at all. This is a problem with any game or book that has a large number of questions. The only book that I have found that rises above this level of mediocrity is "Quizzing." I found this book truly entertaining and interesting, and a must-read for trivia freaks.
