 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - 3rd Edition
This game is outta control! Okay, maybe not.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is the game show phenomenon that sprouted several PC and Playstation titles. The 3rd edition packs in 700 new questions and new Regis banter to help keep the flavor new.

Millionaire's premise is to answer 15 questions right and win a million bucks. There are three lifelines to aid you - poll the audience, 50/50 (eliminate two wrong answers, or phone a friend. The phone a friend is done by Regis' friends since you can't really call anybody. Sometimes you get the smart friends and sometimes you get the...not so smart ones.

The recreation of Millionaire's slick stage and pressure don't really come through in this game. It has the same sound effects and heart-beat music, but the menus and FMV are all grainy and could look way better, even on the Playstation.

The questions asked in Millionaire are of various facts, figures, and American culture. If you wanted to know who played Don Johnson's wife in the TV series Miami Vice, you can found out here!

Stick to the PSone Millionaire only if you can't get enough heart-beat music and Regis Philbin. The show already invades ABC several times and week. Playing the PSone version on top of that just might drive you over the edge. And that's my final answer.
