Like the show, but Limited Questions and Slow LoadingAug 17, 2000
By Clifford Forster Let me say that I love trivia games, and I still love watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire on the tube. As for the playstation game though I have to say this. First of all the game has a very limmited variety of questions that start to repeat after only a few plays of the game making it bore to play after only a couple of days. Number two, this game could not load more slowly from question to question, its like sitting and waiting for your death. I can get a right answer and wait a full minute untill Regis is reading the next question, its just so slow you will want to scream. My advice, watch this one on the tube, leave the playstation game alone though. Try You Dont Know Jack on your computer or Playstation instead. Its a better triva game suited for at home play with pals.

lots of fun, but not enough of itJul 09, 2000
Its a really fun game that follows the same theme of the show. The questions are harder and are fun to play with a group of people. But there are only 600 questions, and after a while they start to repeat themselves.Might be better for a rental then a buy.

Not the best of games....Dec 03, 2000
First of all, I don't know why this game has a 2 player option. Two people face off and only 1 person gets to play the game really. Some of the face off questions are so ridiculously hard that you will be guessing for a long time and the game will keep on telling you to try again and again before ending the game. It won't even give you the right answer at the end!! You should have the option to pass to a new question for the faceoff.
In the game, now this is where the playstation is showing it's age. The loading speed is VERY ANNOYING. The questions are repetitive after awhile. The phone a friend dialogues are amazingly cool and funny. Regis adds a few wise cracks and you got a less than average game. Not worth buying but go for a rental.

Who wants to be a little disappointed?Feb 07, 2001
By John J. Rinck I had high hopes for the game. While others mention the lack of questions and the slowness of the game, I was more concerned about the overall feel of the game. This game seems to have been rushed out and is not as polished as it could be. While Regis' voiceovers are OK, as is the phone a friend, the game is played mostly in silence. Regis doesn't even read the questions out loud. If he did then I could forgive the game for having only 600 questions. More full motion video of Regis would have been nice also. In addition, having only 30 seconds to answer is extremely limiting. On the TV show there is no time limit, so why in the world impose one here? Just as you begin to talk yourself through the answer the time is up! It would be less stressful if I was actually in the hot seat itself!
