Advantages: Based on TV Game, Great graphics

Disadvantages: Repetative, you can't win the actuall million

Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? has been a major hit in the UK and all over the world in its different versions, and as many of today's successful TV quiz shows do, the computer game in launched, enabling YOU the viewer to have a go and win the star prize.

Today I bought the 2nd adition of this game, and I was pleasently surprised. As I didn't purchase the original version, I was unsure of what to expect. The video sequences between the questions are very good and the background music adds to the effect. Chris Tarrant is the quiz master - but he doesn't actually appear within the game. Their is a virtual set with an active audience adding to the atmosphere.

So, initial impressions were very good, but then after playing the game only a few times, the concept of this game finally came through - a standard question game. Of course its based on a very popular TV programme, however it became repetitive and this let it down. Not only this - but my phone-a-'friends' got on my nerves, as welsh, scouse and northerner accents started to make me crack up!

The game itself would be better if it could be more personal - i.e. you could scan an image of you into the program and a 3D face is created - so you could feel like you were actually on the real show.

Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, is a great game, and avaliable in many different versions for all family members, with little tweaks I believe that the actuak game could become as good as the cosmetic exterior!
