Summary: Millionaire - 2nd Edition : 5 StArZ
Review: The game is excellent. I've come across a few repeated questions, but its not too bad. The furthest I've made it so far is $32,000, which is only one time. You'll need lifelines for the first few questions! I just wish you could sit there an look at Regis while he asks you if that is your final answer!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good but, not great.
Review: After buying the first game, which was ok, I thought I would give the second one a chance figuring they would have greatly improved it. Found out though, once you have tried this game for more than ten minutes, sure enough the questions repeat themselves.

If you liked the first, and don't mind the repeats you will like this, however if you were annoyed with the first you will be annoyed with this .

My best suggestion is to continue to wait until the programmers wait and put more time and effort into the game instead of worrying about getting another out there on the market just to make more money.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun game at a great price!
Review: I didn't buy the first game based upon the reviews I read here. Most reviewers spoke highly of the second edition so I couldn't pass it up. I'm glad I did! The game installed without a hitch. The graphics are pretty good and the sound is great! I did about as good on the game as I do watching the show so I guess it's a "realistic" experience! Best of all, the price is right. I've paid a good deal more for games not half as entertaining. Go ahead - you know you want it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a vast improvement over the original
Review: They got it right this time. The data base of questions is much broader and I would say more challenging; it is a much better simulation of the show. As before, the graphics and sound quality are very good. The audience is very reliable and calling a friend works 80% of the time - although if the person isn't sure, he or she says so. Regis is usually not quite as sarcastic to unsuccessful players in this version. In this game, you have the option of walking away once you reach $1,000. The speed and flow are about the same as before. It took several attempts to get past $4,000 (I walked away once at that level out of desperation with no lifelines.). The fastest-finger option for several players works better than the original version too. This simulation can now be recommended with enthusiasm.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worse than the first
Review: Anybody who says this game is an improvement over the first one must have got a different copy than me. The difficulty level of the questions is TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER! Don't believe me? Sample $200 Question: What force would cause the ice cream to spin off the cone while on a twirling merry-go-round? Sample $300 Question: What biological process replicates DNA. They're not impossible to answer, but it's very annoying to get them so early on. Any die hard fan of the show (like me) knows that questions like that would never be asked that soon into the game. On the plus side, Regis, the graphics and the music are all first rate. It's just a shame that programmers couldn't get the questions right, again.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not much re-playability
Review: Don't get me wrong. This game is good. But, after you run through it for a few hours, it kind of gets boring. You get to hear Regis say the same things over and over, and you start to lose interest. The good thing is that the game is relativly inexpensive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Macintosh folks are finally remebered
Review: I bought this soon after it was released and I must say it is a good program. I have not done that well in the game mostly dumb mistakes but if you are a trivia buff / fan of the show this is a must have. And the best part we mac folks finally are remebered. :)

Summary: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Second Edition
Review: Well, I when I first played who wants to be a millionaire, I was on ABC's website. In school I would go down to the library and play it. I bought it. I loved it. I would play it day after day and still do sometimes. When I heard that they were going to be releasing a 2nd edition i about died. I was so excited and anxious to get it. When I did get it, I started to play it even more. I gave Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 5 out of 5 stars. The Sound is realistic, the graphics are just clips(nothing extraordinary), but the lasting appeal and fun makes uo for the rest of teh stuff. I would recomend this game to anybody that like to watch and play along with the REAL Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Thanks for your time!

Summary: Yes, this is my final answer
Review: I just bought my copy of the 2nd edition, last weekend. It is a whole lot tougher than the 1st (I have even walked away on few games after using up lifelines sometimes too early), and doesn't repeat questions as often as the 1st does. Truthfully I am glad I have both, and even playing by myself I've tried a few fastest finger questions. Between these games and my playing with enhanced tv mode during the telecast, I am convinced I should call the 800 number next week to try out. Whoever tells you multiple choice quizes are easy, tell them to buy these games. They will change their tune as soon they finish their first game, whether they win 0 or 1,000,000. Let's play :-)! Long Live King Regis!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun, fun, fun!
Review: This game is so addicting that for the first 4 hours I owned it, I played it nonstop. Music, effects, and Regis banter are great and are JUST like the show. After playing for a week or so, I started getting a few repeats, but not many. A must have!
