Pros: good quality game play, realistic Regis, just like show
Cons: some tough questions, time limits are a bit too fast, lifelines
The Bottom Line: Besides the lifelines and time limits, and my lack of knowledge, this game is great for trying your sports knowledge out in a popular game show format.
oakraider1's Full Review: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Sports Edition for ...
Who wants to be a millionaire Sports edition has its pro's and con's , but all in all I have found it to be a good game.
Pros-
Game play-- Just like the game, Regis might be a bit more sarcastic here, but everything else, from the music to lights is about the same.
Regis-- He always has a comment, just like the game.
Questions-- They do reoccur, but that is inevitable in almost any game show for the computer. However, when they do reoccur it is mostly on the lower level questions making it more challenging.
Challenge-- This game is no piece of cake. I have played for a couple months, and still have not got the million.
Cons-
Challenge-- If you like winning, then you better know every little detail about every sport or its not happening here. The questions are extremely tough once they get up to 32,00 and beyond, even the 1,000 are tough for their value.
Lifelines-- The only one you can really trust is 50-50. They are just so hard to gage. The phone a friend is bogus, sometimes you will get friends that Regis calls that say they are sure , and low and behold they are wrong, and some say its a shot in the dark and they are right. So its extremely hard to tell who to believe.
The audience poll is more trusting, however, it is still not always true. I can think of one example where the audience was in favor of one answer 60-30, and I went with them and was totally wrong, but they are usually right.
Time Limits-- On the show Regis encourages contestants to take as long as they need and talk about it, none of that here. You get 30 seconds to think it over, and 15 more with a lifeline, so no time for looking up answers.
Money-- You do not win a penny, its fake!! In fact a time or two i have folded and walked away and Regis states that it is not real money we are playing for.
All games will have their downfalls when duplicating the show and I think the biggest one of this game is the lifelines, which are hard to duplicate.
I feel that this game is made about as well as it could be, and I do recommend it to all you gamers and sports fans.
