[ad_1] Faster than you can say "cha-ching", Disney has released Who wants to be a millionaire : a great achievement of the hugely successful television game show. With voice by Regis Philbin himself and a game engine from the makers of the highly respected You Do not Know Jack series, this is the perfect family title.

We originally viewed the title about one and a half hours before considering its assessment. In any case a good title, there is one big problem that only occurs after repeated playing hours: repeating and repeating the questions ... and repeating. Frankly, the flare-up of questions - there are only about 200 in total - was the only way to earn a million dollars, but we can see that not everyone sees this as a pleasant trump & # 39; see. The justification of the manufacturer is that the package is at a low price and never intended for hard-core gamers (or people who install the game on multiple machines). But even for only twenty dollars you will end up with the fact that really certainly knows how much stock the Dow 500 makes after five to ten hours of gameplay and can run away annoyed. People who want to buy this game for multiplayer action will also not be satisfied, because players who have spent time with the game are in favor of climbing higher amounts in dollars.

The best elements of the real-life game show: in particular Regis and his friendly yet sarcastic commentary. The software even mimics the breaks that Regis takes, and builds up the tension as the (virtual) dollars rise. "Do you think it is D ?" he asks. With more bow, and as if you're crazy, he adds, "That's your answer?" Then he blows: "You're right!" With touches like this, players really feel like they are sitting in the hot seat. (Regis even makes fun of you when you slide out, and urges you not to spend your zero-dollar archeard in one place.)

The game starts with the same painfully simple hundred-dollar incremental questions, revolving around the pop culture subjects such as Pac Man, the Jeffersons and & # 39; Who is known as the & # 39; chairman of the board of directors & # 39; "Like the show, the easy questions quickly disappear into the more challenging topics, including topics such as the United Nations Security Council, and the same lifelines are in place, but instead of relying on your own support person - who is probably behind you. shoulder stands, ready to play the next round - you will be saddled with Regis & # 39; own friends. (He seems to travel in a pretty uneducated crowd, because they gave wrong answers much of the time, so we were raided.)

Another warning: this is not really a multiplayer game in the true sense of the word: all parties try to buzz on one question, arranging certain choices, for example in numerical order. Who is the fastest with the right answer, gets the chance to see the questions up to the full million.That translates into a lot of time spent watching someone else, but with this game it is on one or more the way to apologize.

With awesome, simple graphics influenced by the show and the same violin-and-heartbeat soundtrack, Millionaire deserves to be a runaway success. The makers have worked fast and well and made a game that everyone can enjoy, provided that you can accept the considerable errors. For fans of the TV game, the time you spend with this game will make you appear as wide as the million-winner John Carpenter - without all the headache in the morning. - Jennifer Buckendorff
