Only a 1-player game... [Posted on 2007-09-06]
I purchased this for my son and I to play, but you can only play a one-player game. There is no option for a 2nd or 3rd player. If I had known this, I would not have purchased this version.

Other than that, it's fine.

Fun Word Game [Posted on 2007-11-05]
Wheel of Fortune is an all time favorite. Now I can play it any time of of the day. What a great stress reliever!

Don't Buy This! [Posted on 2008-06-21]
I am so sorry I purchased this game! Although it boasts that is has 2,000 puzzles, it continually starts again at the beginning of the game each time you load it. It starts with *the same* puzzles each time you start the game. In addition, the "high score" board doesn't reflect any scores. And to top it all off, the only way I can exit out of the program is to shut down my computer! At first I thought I had a bad copy, but when I went to Encore's "technical support" page I was told they are aware of the problem but there is no fix available yet. This was in December 2007, 7 months ago! No fix yet? Nevertheless, they continue to sell this product. I am sooooo incredibly frustrated, and feel like I threw my money away.

Hangs up on XP and Vista [Posted on 2008-06-26]
This game appears to have several bugs that cause it to hang up. I tried installing it on two different PCs; one with XP PRO and another brand new machine with VISTA. In both cases the game would install and play but then you could not exit the game. I've subsequently read about this same problem in other web reviews of the software. You need to terminate the game using the Windows Task Manager. It also does not remember your "avatar" when you re-launch the game. I tried to uninstall and re-install several times and got the same problems.

As a test I uninstalled this CD version and downloaded the game from the Sony (Wheel of Fortune) game website. The downloaded version behaved the same way.

It's too bad because it is a fun game. I am returning this game and would not recommend it.
