this game is just like the tv show, without the commercials. i am surprised at how much i DON'T know ! my hubby thought for sure the tv show was fixed because he said "who couldn't answer 5th grade questions?!" well, he has only made it to the 1 million dollar question one time and that was using his 3 cheats. it is a great game to play just to see how much you remember. it is also great if you have those know-it-all friends, you can test them. great game

Great game but...

I have to admit, I've had a lot of fun with this game so far. I don't currently live in the US, so I cant say how accurately this game is to the series, but judging from other reviews, it must be dead on. Jeff Foxworthys' voice is actually used in the majority of this game, and the questions are actually pretty tough! I feel I am smarter than a fifth grader, and I got all of the questions right on the second go-through. (On the first try, I was stumped by the million-dollar final question, which was who wrote "O Captain, my captain"?. Do fifth graders actually know this? Do you? I don't remember ever hearing of this author at least until Jr. high. But anyhow, this game is great, and I feel it has lots of replay values...

.. Which leads me to the disappointing aspect of this game.

While playing my fifth game I noticed that some of the questions had been asked in previous games I played through. With a library of "more than 3000" questions, I feel this is inexcusable. By my 8th game, I would say that I had seen at least 5 questions twice, and 1 question 3 times!
However if you can get past this one bad point, I feel that this is a great game, recommended to all.

Oh, and Walt Whitman wrote "O Captain My Captain".

Fantastic

This game is totally addicting. And your computer classmates don't always know the answers. I've only made it to the million dollar question and did not answer it correctly.
Like a previous reviewer, I have had several questions repeated, but I try not to remember the answer so that it is still a challenge. One thing I wish they had done was let you see the correct answer when you get it wrong.
Overall this is a great game.

Fun and quick!

If you want a fun quick game this is it. It wasn't as challenging as I'd hoped but I still enjoy it. In my opinion though it is overpriced.

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader

While the game itself is fun, it did not take long for the same questions to be repeated (within 5-6 games). It is not worthwhile because my 4th grader knows all the answers. This happened within a day. Now the game is obsolete. Waste of money...watch the television show instead.

I bought this for my 9 yr. old because she loves watching this on TV. She loves it! Also, at our family Christmas gathering the entire family starting playing it with her. It has been a trmendous hit for everyone. It is such a big hit, the 9 yr. old has to take it away from the adults!

Good Game

I am really enjoying this game. I almost did not buy when I read another review that you don't get the correct answer when you miss a question, but I was pleasantly surprised when in fact it does tell you the correct question. Yeah! When you play often, the trick to touch the screen to bypass all of the introduction and lesson explanations is very important (i.e. when Jeff Foxworthy tells you that you've won $25,000 and that can't be taken from you - tap the screen and it shuts 'ol Jeff off).

I would recommend this game to anyone who likes the show or triva games.

Great family game. The sixth grade teacher in our family felt the questions were challenging. For the money, probably wouldn't buy it again. Great graphics, video and sound quality.

diane is smarter sometimes!

I found this game to be almost the same as the program on tv and fun to play.

JUST LIKE THE SHOW

This game is exactly like the show. This is another family game that is also educational because just like the t.v. show if you get the answer incorrect it does tell you the correct answer. My 8 year old loves this game.
