During its lifespan the Wii has had many a game unleashed on it based on hit TV shows. One of the first to come out was Who Wants to Be a Millionaire First Editions which I bought as one of my games for the consoles. With Chris Tarrant gleefully holding a Wii mote on the front cover I thought this would be a fun Wii-esque take on the WWTBAM games that had graced other consoles. Oh how wrong I was. Note this the 1st Edition of the game which has since got a further released, a much better one. This game is a shoddy, money-hungry and greedy port of the game everyone will or may have played on a PC, Playstation or indeed interactive DVD. It seems to have been ...  Read the complete review

The Wii version of the television quiz game 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' is priced around £20 and is a faithful recreation of the quiz itself, but considering that the Wii is a recent console it feels a basic stripped down version compared to other next gen consoles i've played. When you consider that the PS1 version over a decade ago included speech when you rang a friend, this is the least you would expect the Wii version to do. But no you are given a choice of 4 so called friends with different interests so you can at least tell why their area of knowledge is - and you are given a text response as to what they think, pretty poor.

I'm not sure how many questions there are, but given the potential capacity on the disk, this shouldn't happen. The phone a friend lets you choose from 4 people each whom has a ...  Read the complete review

I was hoping that this would be a fun game to play with family and friends. I was disappointed. The graphics and fine and the structure of the game itself is fine. It closely follows the TV format in that if you don't know the answer you can phone a friend, ask the audience or 50/50. You can even play fastest finger first. However, the game has two main flaws. 1. Questions seem to be repeated. We have probably played the game in total for about 3 hours and we have had three or four occasions where questions have been repeated. 2. This might just be sour grapes, and I am embarrassed to admit it, but we can't get ...  Read the complete review
