There is not all that much change in the difficulty of questions,making it seem like the 4th edition,rather than a Kids edition,and still missing sound effects in the show that the 1st and 2nd edition games had,why did it's publisher do that? Aside from that this is a great game for all ages,and I like that you can get codes from the web-site for unlimited lifelines,and Regis seems a little more perked up compared to the 3rd edition. The fastest finger is like on the show,and question difficulty (compared to the show) is a little bit more on track for a change compared to past editions,and another good reason to get this game is IT PLAY's IN FULL SCREEN!! About time...the last few Millionaire games play the size of a post-card in the middle of your screen,for the hefty-price tags on these games,you should at least be able to read the questions! Anyways this has to be the best edition in the series yet.

Kids Edition? More like Volume 4 for me :-)

Alright I'm a big kid (over 30, lol), but don't let the name "Kids edition" fool you. I just bought the game yesterday, played my first round this morning. Had to use 1 lifeline each on the $16,000, $32,000 and $64,000 (saved 50-50 for last and still got it wrong). This game is just as challenging as the other 4, and should be owned by anyone of ANY age who who owns the other 4 games in the series.

Great for kids and adults to play together!

This is a wonderful cd-rom. My daughter and I have so much fun playing each other. She is learning so much. We played the one we have so much that is is scratched and she has begged me to order another one. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great game and educational, too!

My kids love this game and I'm happy that it has some good questions about school subjects in with the Britney Spears and that kind of thing. By wrapping it all in one product fun product, it's not so obvious that they're actually learning. Plus, Regis is as funny as ever - he even use kid-slang like 'da bomb' - which is pretty amusing coming from him!

Well, I bought this game thinking that it would be really easy kid questions that kids can answer, that weren't that tough. After buying the game and playing it I figured out that the questions were really hard. Some questions my mom couldn't figure out. I would recomend this game if you like hard questions with an occasional easy question.

Fun and challenging!

I have this game and at first, I only got to $100 or $200 but now I can reach like $8000 or even more! It is really really challenging sometimes. Sometimes it is scary when you answer a question that you are 99.9% sure is correct and you wait and wait and you find out it's wrong. I also don't like when they say you are a "cheater".

The Perfect Kid-Friendly CD-ROM Product

My kids played a demo of this game, and they wouldn't get off the computer! They thought it was challenging, yet fun because Regis Philbin directs all his commentary to a kids audience.

As a mom, it's a safe product that actually has relevant trivia questions that compliments what they are learning in school. I plan to buy it when it comes out for my kids since it's not that expensive.

I Only Played The Demo

I played the demo on www.millionairekidsgames.com, and it seems like a very good game. I gave it a four but i might of gave it a five if I had the actual game. The only thing that I didn't like was that it was hard to hear the phone a friend. I really want to get this game, because I have always been a big Millonaire fan, and a big Regis Philbin fan. This game seems like one of these games that you play for more than a few months without getting bored. And Regis, that is my Final Answer.

The perfect family game and gift

In this day and age, it's important to find games kids can play either by themselves or with the whole family. "Millionaire" is just that game. It's fun and informative and appropriate for many ages of kids. Unlike other CD-ROM games, you won't get bored with this game quickly as it has a lot of questions to keep you playing for a long time. Perfect as a gift or just as something to do with your children.

Not for Sensitive Children

My 8 year old son was so looking forward to this game, and likes to play it because he likes answering the questions to see how high he can get, but he's wound up in tears over the nasty comments made by Regis (paraphrase - "It's OBVIOUS the correct answer is 'c' - DUH!"), and is frustrated when tricks not found on the show like the phone a friend person not being home fouls up the game. Perhaps older children or ones that are less sensitive may find this funny, but if your child is sensitive at all or you are trying to teach your child good sportsmanship, I would definitely not recommend this game.
