Advantages: There arn't any

Disadvantages: Your ment to win money but you dont

This games seems to be ones of those games that promises so much and delivers so little.
I have been a fan of the TV show for some time, and thought it would be perfect to find a game that lets you answer all those questions you knew the answer for but the contestant didn't.

But I was dissapointed, to say the least. The game is plagued with problems, most notably Chris Tarrant. His voice, after the first 2 minutes of playing, will have you reaching for the volume control as he continues to spurt out unwitty comments.

The game is also way too slow. Not between the first few questions, but after you get past £1000 every question that you answer right goes back to the title screen which tells you how much money you have. This becomes very annoying and it soon became apparent that I had wasted £25 of my hard earned money.

Another problem is that the game is repetitive. As long as you keep your Playstation switched on, the questions may not repeat themselves. However, as soon as you do turn it off, the games resets itself and the next time you go on you will find the same questions.
Within my first 10 goes I had won the million, not because I am particularly clever, but because I knew all the answers to the questions because I had seen them before.

The multiplayer mode is also particularly unrewarding, as it still goes at the same speed. For multiplayer games, people want things that are fast, things that are funny like shooting your friend with a rocket. People don't want games that take an age to decided whether or not the question is right.

This game has also received bad press. I think the highest rating I saw was 4 out of 10. Therefore I was amazed when I saw it at the top of the Playstation Games chart.

For those who do have this game, unlucky. For those who don't have it, don't buy it. Its unrewarding, a waste of money and a complete waste of time.
