Advantages: Great game, bargain price, easy to play, lots of questions to avoid repetition.

Disadvantages: After just a few games I had seen a few questions repeated.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire on the Playstation is based on the WWTBAM TV show hosted by Chris Tarrant on ITV.

Inside the plastic box is the PS game itself and a booklet with and introduction to the game and help with the controls and playing the game itself.

As this game is from 2000 it's based on the slightly older format of WWTBAM where you had to answer 15 questions to work your way from £100 up to £1,000,000 with the safe zones of £1,000 & £32,000 after answering the 5th & 10th question and this is a point where if you get any of the following questions wrong you will be guaranteed to take away that set amount of money (depending on which safe zone you've just passed).

You will receive three lifelines on the game as follows:

Phone A Friend: The computer picks a friend or relative for you and gives them a call to see if they know the answer and can help you out.

Ask The Audience: The 100 members of the studio audience can vote on the question and then you will be advised of the percentage which have chosen each answer and then hopefully use this to help with their answer.

50/50: The computer will take away two of the four possible answers to any one question and give you a 50/50 chance of choosing the correct answer and hopefully eliminating any doubts that you have about your answer.

This game can be played by one or more players and you can either play head to head where you will take it in turns with your opponents to answer a question or you can just all work together and answer a question together to work your way up the cash ladder. You also have the option of playing fastest finger first to try and answer a question correctly before your friends and this will decide who gets to play the game next.

Chris Tarrant narrates this game as he does the ITV show and this is great as it brings a more realistic touch to the game.

The controls are very easy to use (as you would expect with the Playstation 1) and take no time at all to get used to.

I found this game to be very fun and it's great to be able to save your scores on the leader board (memory card needed) to see who is best out of your friends & relatives.

I would definitely recommend this game and if you can pick it up for 50p (as I did) it should give you hours & hours of entertainment while you compete with your relatives or just work together to try and reach the million!

I am rating this game 4/5 for the above reasons and will be playing it again and as there are 1,000 questions it's easy to assume you'll get lots of different questions to keep you going and the only downside was that after just a couple of games I had noticed the same questions a few times already!

Summary: A fantastic game that's fun to play and I got it for a bargain price.
