Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
And so one of the biggest-selling games of recent times returns to our screens, complete with more questions, more improvements and more Chris Tarrant. Yup, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: 2nd Edition knows it's on to a winning formula, and wisely does little to disrupt it.
That's not to say there aren't genuine improvements. For starters, the oft-criticised lethargic pace of the original has been speeded up, and the improved user interface makes the game even simpler to use. Furthermore, there are over 1000 new questions to keep you taxed (although younger players may still be better off opting for its sister title, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: Junior).
But essentially, this is still the same game, with the same flaws and assets of the first: the questions loop around too quickly, for instance. Yet the look and feel of the game still perfectly captures the essence of the TV show... even if they still don't give you any real money at the end of it.
Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: 2nd Edition is a reliable, entertaining game, ideal fodder for the family although hardly likely to satiate the appetite of the cutting-edge gamer. If you enjoyed the original though, you'll find that this latest release is money well spent. --Simon Brew

This version has definitely been improved from the first release. Most noticeably the different screen layout, and Chris's voice reading out the questions. The only slight problem was that the graphics were slightly disappointing.

I have the First and Second games and they are both really good the bad thing about this game(The 2nd One) is that it only has 1,000 New Questions,they could have put more in but it is more Challenging and has a much improved look. very nice game and well worth getting!!

And I was wrong! Get a few friends round, a few beers, and... well it's great fun.
Why? Because it doesn't try and be too clever, all it tries to do is capture the fun of the show. Many more questions than the (vastly) over-rated original.
The only problems are (i) it gets boring on your own and (ii) you never actually win a million!

A fabulous game that is very true to the TV show, using Chris Tarrant's voice and the music from the show, it makes you feel as if you were actually there! Read more
