Mediocre game [Posted on 2005-06-20]
Millionaire 3rd edition is fun and challenging, but some stuff bugs me in this game. but first the pro's

Pro's
Lots of questions and very challenging
Regis is always funny
The sounds make the game because you can be at the $32,000 level and feel nervous during the time they make you wait until you have gotten it right or not. The soundtrack makes it dramatic

Con's
The fatest finger. If you get it wrong many times, Regis leaves and the game starts over.
The stupid phone a friend sucks. Although the start questions the phone a friend helps, in the later parts of the game, it is useless. Regis called this dufus and he had a fire, and hung up. Regis said "That wasn't much help". What an idiot. The friend did not even attempt to answer the question. Shame on Buena Vista interactive.

This game is lots of fun and should be bought. But some of the other features like the lifelines will drive you insane.

ok game [Posted on 2007-01-28]
I think I speak for everyone when I say "thank goodness the millionaire phenomenon is over with". Even though it's been over with for about 5 years now, for some reason, the video games are still somewhat popular. No reason for it. Let the games end, and let the show be just a memory. Hey, I have nothing against this game (it's pretty good, but the questions are challenging) I just think overexposing Regis played a big part in bringing the Millionaire craze to a sudden end. Buy the game if you're smart.

Excellent game that almost everyone would enjoy [Posted on 2007-02-20]
This is an excellent Like new cd rom game of a now hard to find edition of who wants to be a millionare. The seller was very promp in shipping. Highly recommended

Some Fun, Lacks Some Features, Requirements [Posted on 2007-04-15]
If you like the game show now hosted on tv without Regis you will like playing this game.

+ Plus +

1. You can download more questions through Disney.

2. The best version available for the PC.

- Minus -

1. Requires Quicktime to run the game but you can always opt
to install Quicktime Alternative instead of the bloated
Quicktime from Apple.com.

2. Can't register through the software (probably since Disney
took over). I couldn't even get my browser to pop-up.

3. Can't use fastest finger if you are going solo and the
choices for your phone a friend is automatically selected for
you unlike the show where you can choose (or at least it
seems so) who to call.


- Summary -

These are just a few of the minor glitches I have noticed.
I didn't check if you could disable the sound if you get tired
of hearing Regis talk back at you or not. Overall, just an average
fun game with nothing to rave about.

Works on a Windows Vista Computer [Posted on 2007-07-09]
I bought this game for my Mom on her Birthday this year. I originally bought the Platinum Edition , which contained Millionaire 1st and 2nd editions , but neither of them would play on her new computer with the Vista operating system.
After emailing support at Buena Vista games , they stated that they will not be producing any upgrades or patches for those editions , but that the 3rd edition ( and the sports' edition) are compatible with Vista.
They are correct. Although there are some funky quirks while it is loading (with the sound stuttering on and off) on a Vista computer , once loaded it runs just fine. There are no problems on my XP system -- didn't even need a patch like I did with the first two editions.
If you are a Millionaire fan , this game is quite enjoyable , especially with the added question sets from the developer's site.
