If you like the game show now hosted on tv without Regis you will like playing this game.
+ Plus +
1. You can download more questions through Disney.
2. The best version available for the PC.
- Minus -
1. Requires Quicktime to run the game but you can always opt
to install Quicktime Alternative instead of the bloated
Quicktime from Apple.com.
2. Can't register through the software (probably since Disney
took over). I couldn't even get my browser to pop-up.
3. Can't use fastest finger if you are going solo and the
choices for your phone a friend is automatically selected for
you unlike the show where you can choose (or at least it
seems so) who to call.
- Summary -
These are just a few of the minor glitches I have noticed.
I didn't check if you could disable the sound if you get tired
of hearing Regis talk back at you or not. Overall, just an average
fun game with nothing to rave about.
AWESOME GAME ROCKS AND ROLLS

In my first round, I did not get one question right. I am so used to the television version where the first questions are SOOO easy. When you don't get any questions right. . .you get a check (on your screen) for ZERO dollars. That was funny. At first my feelings were hurt by the barbs that Regis Philbin were shooting. But, after awhile I see that he was actually helping. This game comes close to what I have seen on television. . .just the questions are harder and the money is not real (no smile).
ok game

I think I speak for everyone when I say "thank goodness the millionaire phenomenon is over with". Even though it's been over with for about 5 years now, for some reason, the video games are still somewhat popular. No reason for it. Let the games end, and let the show be just a memory. Hey, I have nothing against this game (it's pretty good, but the questions are challenging) I just think overexposing Regis played a big part in bringing the Millionaire craze to a sudden end. Buy the game if you're smart.
Excellent game that almost everyone would enjoy

I bought this game for my Mom on her Birthday this year. I originally bought the Platinum Edition , which contained Millionaire 1st and 2nd editions , but neither of them would play on her new computer with the Vista operating system.
After emailing support at Buena Vista games , they stated that they will not be producing any upgrades or patches for those editions , but that the 3rd edition ( and the sports' edition) are compatible with Vista.
They are correct. Although there are some funky quirks while it is loading (with the sound stuttering on and off) on a Vista computer , once loaded it runs just fine. There are no problems on my XP system -- didn't even need a patch like I did with the first two editions.
If you are a Millionaire fan , this game is quite enjoyable , especially with the added question sets from the developer's site.
For the million, how many members are in the Jackson 5?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is the most digusting example of what society has come to. You see contestants battle it out on game shows with real questions for normal dollar amounts, and then you see complete idiots winning amazing sums of money for knowing that smurfs are blue. Do you really what to be challenged, buy a game show product like the new Jeopardy 2nd edition, or 100,000 dollar pyramid. ...
The best millionare game ever!

Let me get this straight. I like all 3 editions of Millionare. However, this one is the best, because of the ability to download new questions! As for the first 2 editions the questions run out fast. As a matter of fact, the second day I played the First Edition, the questions were already repeating.
The Fastest Finger has improved too. It is now a 2-player duel and this time you must put the answers in order yourself faster than the other player. It is harder and FF questions run out in no time, but I lkike a challenge.
The Leaderboard has improved too. It now shows the top money winners of all time!
If you liked the first two editions of Millionare, you'll love this one! Believe me, it is worth the [money] to get an unlimited supply of questions!
It's even better than the 2nd edition

This game has it all, not only can you get 600 new questions that are in the game, but you can download new questions from the internet, pretty cool huh because i've play the internet version and i didn't even got to the 32000 dollar level (i got to the 8000 dollar question) i think the questions will be either easy or hard If you do have internet then go to abc.com go to the millonare site and you might see new downloadable questions on the site If you buy the game, i recommend that you first see all the 600 questions then download from the site I don't have game yet but i read the preview in a magazine and i think it's pretty cool now that you won't get the same questions over and over and over To close this review i have just one thing to say: Disney Inter active has sure done it again unlike the 2nd edition the 3rd is even better maybe even more
great game
