Summary: It's Cool
Review: I Like the game, but I do not like how the questions are repeated over and over again. I also don't like how it doesn't let you walk away and take the money at any question U want. It also doesn't ask U if that is U're final answer at every question. This game is good if U have patience.

Summary: It's ok, but not great
Review: This game is ok. The questions are not exciting at all. I was really disapointed that regis did not read the questions to you. And i got annoyed at all the ranamized sayings he would spit out, that dint match up to the situation at times. They also put a 60 second time limit on each question. The lifelines work pritty good. For basic trivia players and regis lovers this is fine.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Trite questions
Review: 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.

Summary: A fun game for the entire family
Review: Having received copy of the 2nd edition, two days ago. It is a whole lot tougher than the 1st The pluses of this new edition are: #1 questions are not repeated as often as the 1st edition.

#2 It is a game that can be played by the whole family.

One negative comment and not too much of a problem. When a player loses by incorrectly answering a question the game seems to take a long time in restarting as Regis has to explain the size of your check. I'll chalk that negativity up to my desire to play a little faster. This an excellent game and also an excellent tool to increase a childs knowledge of many many different subjects. (Children do not realize they are learning something playing this game.)

Thanks Disney interactive for creating a tool that should be in every home. My kids simply will not leave this great game alone and I as well am addicted to the fun and education provided my this game. Lets play!

Summary: It's Gonna Drive Me Nuts!
Review: It's gonna drive me nuts, getting the first question wrong every time! These questions are hard, much harder than those in the original, and there's more of them, but I think they were having a hard time finding questions due to one particularly scary $200 question. How many eyes does a giraffe have? Gee, I don't know Reege, I think I'll ask the audience! For heaven's sake! But if you're a true fan of the show, like me, and have patience, unlike me, YOU WILL UNDOUBTABLY LOVE THIS GAME! Plus, it has more questions than in the original, Yay! :::clicks heels::: Enjoy!

Summary: It totally sucks
Review: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Game
Review: I bought the first edition of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and I really enjoyed it, but the questions definitely repeated a lot more than I thought they would. I played the first time, and then I immediately played again and got some of the same questions. The second edition of "Millionaire", I think, is better. There are more questions and they are definitely more challenging. However, I took away one star because I think the questions are too hard sometimes. Also, they don't base the difficulty level of the question on how much money it's for- they just kind of throw any question out. Also, I think they should find a better way to do the Fastest Finger. But overall, I'd definitely recommend this game.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's OK, with good points and bad ones
Review: First and foremost, this is one of the best under-$20 games out there. Even so, that doesn't mean it's great. The questions are too tough. Most are tougher than the ones on the TV show. An example is a $500,000 question on the show that was "What planet did Luke Skywalker of Star Wars come from?" Even if you didn't watch Star Wars more than once you probably know that. Now here's a $2,000 question from this game. "Who is the shortest person to ever win a NBA slam dunk competetion?" I'm a basketball enthusiast and I didn't know that. The other ploblem is there is no way you can compete with other people in the hot seat a la You Don't Know Jack. Although this might be more realistic as to what's on the show it adds more replayability to the game. The game's good points are very general. The game is just another quiz show from Jellyvision, the veteran devoloper of this genre. I think that this is their poorest concoction yet, however because the YDKJ series was so good. I guess we'll have to wait for a 3rd Edition to come out to try to address these problems

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Be a Millionare for less than $20
Review: The only reason I am rating it 4 star is - money is not real and the the stakes are low - makes you a little complacent.

Now then, on a scale of 1-10 (10 being metaphysical perfection and 1 being unmitigated disaster):

Price 10 Fun 9 Graphics 8 Predictability 7 Educational 10 Wide Age Appeal 9 (my 7 year old loves it) Win Actual Money 1 (money doesn't matter :-))
