Format:DVD
When I first played this I immediately noticed that its speed has not improved compared to the previous 2nd edition. It still pauses between screens a bit and sometimes Chris` voice is slightly out of sync to his mouth movement.
The picture questions begin at the 1st milestone (£1000) but do not appear on every question until you get past the 2nd milestone (£64000).
On the good side, there are a few more humorous comments from Chris, especially when you lose early on in the game, which is quite funny.
Chris` enthusiasm is still brilliant which does help add to the excitement and anticipation especially if you're playing it with friends.
Overall if you are a WWTBAM fan or just want an easy entertaining DVD game to have fun with I do recommend you by this game. Despite the slight screen pauses, it is still an improvement on the previous version and it has brand new up to date questions.
You should be hooked for at least a couple of hours. Come Christmas time you'll probably be playing it all night!
Thanks for reading this - Cheers

Format:DVD
The game itself is a solid bit of family entertainment, but has two niggles that may reduce its novelty - first, it's not possible to skip Chris Tarrant and his repetitive phrases in between questions. Second, a lot of the questions get repeated, which is a bit of a shame - the bank of questions could do with an increase, or perhaps they should add the option of downloading more and using supplement DVDs.
There are options of tackling Adult or Junior 'difficulties', and categories of General Knowledge, Entertainment, and Sport.
Once choosing either Adult / Junior, and the preferred category, the game follows the same format as the TV show (without the fastest finger first, for obvious reasons!).
Unfortunately, Chris only reads the million pound question aloud, and instead there are a bank of phrases between questions that do get a bit irritating.
The repetition of questions is a bit poor I feel - it doesn't take much to think up plenty of questions and put them on a DVD. I couldn't find the total number anywhere, but the DVD quotes an 'extra 1500'. Split across three categories, this may be only 500 per category, and split Junior / Adult, that may only be 250 'extra' questions. Although I have no evidence of this, the repetition of questions suggests there are not a huge number of questions, so the 'extra 1500' may well be clever marketing
All in all, it's a good game to play with the family, but its shelf-life is pretty limited. Getting to a million becomes fairly easy after playing the game for a while as the same questions come up. Disappointing
The addition of being able to cut out all Chris' commentary and increasing the question bank would make this a 5* item as opposed to a 3*

Format:DVD
This was the first time I'd tried an interactive DVD game and I have to say that I was very impressed! Good, challenging questions for children and adults and it really seemed like you were in the hot seat on the TV with Chris giving a great performance as always. I thought the lifelines were good as they often gave a helping hand but didn't always automatically guarantee you the right answer. I had great fun with the family over Christmas playing this.
