Works on a Windows Vista Computer

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.

Some Fun, Lacks Some Features, Requirements

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.

Excellent game that almost everyone would enjoy

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.

Mediocre game

Millionaire 3rd edition is fun and challenging, but some stuff bugs me in this game. but first the pro's

Pro's
Lots of questions and very challenging
Regis is always funny
The sounds make the game because you can be at the $32,000 level and feel nervous during the time they make you wait until you have gotten it right or not. The soundtrack makes it dramatic

Con's
The fatest finger. If you get it wrong many times, Regis leaves and the game starts over.
The stupid phone a friend sucks. Although the start questions the phone a friend helps, in the later parts of the game, it is useless. Regis called this dufus and he had a fire, and hung up. Regis said "That wasn't much help". What an idiot. The friend did not even attempt to answer the question. Shame on Buena Vista interactive.

This game is lots of fun and should be bought. But some of the other features like the lifelines will drive you insane.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Third Edition was one of the last editions for the P.C. made with Regis Philbin. Still, he still has his zany and enduring way with handling people made him a very big hit with audiences all over the U.S.A. It is just a shame that he is no longer hosting Millionaire anymore. Instead, one of the people from The View is taking over. Unbelieveable, isn't it.

What makes Who Wants To Be A Millionaire different, the third time around, is that the questions are a little bit more complex. Not only that, but if you go to a certain website, you can download new question patches to play all about Millionaire. Unfortunately, those patches that you can download, contain only 15 questions anyway in the main seat, but in the fast finger category, there are more. I really enjoyed spending time with the game, it is just a shame that it isn't fun anymore like it was in primetime on ABC.

The reason why I'm giving it a 3, is because the only way I could've won the million, is because I downloaded the patches from the net. If you want to be a millionaire, I suggest you buy this game. You're not going to win a real million, it is just a game. If you're also a fan of Regis Philbin, I also suggest you get this too, final answer.

VERY ENTERTAINING AND FEATURES REGIS PHILBIN BUT TOUGH

Being one of the games I longed for during our vacation... During the week we were visiting Atlanta I tried very hard to win the million every day but the questions are so darn tough. This was the only game I wanted to play throughout the entire trip. I just couldn't win And Regis's discouraging made me almost ready to cry. Then guess what a few days after our vacation I WON!!! and I was so glad i had finally won it. Millionaire 3rd edition could use some improvement and should be given more downloadable questions other than the 15 you only get in the question packs. Buy it and you won't be disapointed. So Who wants to be a millionaire? Let's Play,
Enjoy,
Regis {REGIS PHILBIN FAN AND PROUD OF IT}

I bought this game for my Dad, a longtime fan of the TV show. A new PC user, he had no problem getting the hang of the controls in this user friendly game. I am giving this game a great rating because of how much my Dad is enjoying it. The only complaint I've ever heard is that the wait between questions is longer than it should be - all that pomp and circumstance with the music and switching views. Another great feature is that you can avoid question boredom and repetitiveness by downloading new questions. Get it. Play it. You won't be disappointed.
