Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

"Don't even bother"

The popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire has made its way to the PC. And no, it is not even close to being a decent game. So spend your money on something else.

Graphics: 1/10

Unbelievably, for such a popular TV game show, you would think that this game have very good graphics. Well let me tell you this, you see more graphics on a lined sheet of paper than in this game.

Audio: 2/10

If you want to hear the theme of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and Regis Philbin's voice over and over again, then you will be quite happy because that is all you will get from the audio in this game.

Gameplay: 3/10

Just like in the game show, you are contestant who magically makes it too the ''hot seat.'' You don't go through the fastest finger question. So you start of in the hot seat, and you answer as many questions given, and try to make it to the million dollar prize. You are given a multiple choice question, fifteen in total, witch you must answer to proceed further. You are given three lifelines to help you out in case you are stuck on a question, which you can only use each once. If you answer a question wrong, you lose the game. If you win... well, you win and you get your name on a high score list. The main problem is, there are not a lot of questions in this game. After a few times, you will see questions that you saw not too long ago, and soon it will get so repetitive it's not even funny.

Replay Value: 3/10

After a few tries, you will soon stop playing the game because its just too boring. Maybe once in a while you will come back to it and amaze your friend at how smart you are because you already know the answers to all the questions. Since this is a solo gameshow, there is no multiplayer at all. But it would be nice if the developers thought of something to let you play against a friend, but no, there is nothing.

Should I Buy?

NO, don't buy this game at all. There is no fun factor in this game. It is truly a waste of money. The popular hit TV game show has failed horribly in trying to put out a good computer game,
