 A great little challenge November 13, 2007
27 out of 27 found this review helpful
My DS has had a fair bit of use over the past 6 months and its really enjoying tackling the Millionaire game. I play this on the journey to work in the morning and I have only been asked the same question once so theres a fair bit of content on there. Ive yet to win the million but very close a couple of times, and managed to pick up a sack full of trivia along the way. The video is a nice touch and it feels much more immersive than the versions I have bought previously. Highly recommended.
Nintendo DS - Millionaire November 13, 2007

I like everything about this game, just wish I was able to get it sooner. It is very entertaining, so much so, I can't put it down! The questions always seem to be ones I have not heard of before, which is challenging, but educational at the same time! Not sure I will ever get to the million but, it's great fun to play.
 Millionaire? Not quite February 15, 2008

The best way to compare any game of this sort is to put it against any previous versions on other formats. I only have the original Sony PS1 version to put it against and while it improves on some of the glitches that version had, some eight, nine years on still come right back. Firstly I agree that questions do repeat themselves but not quite as much as some past reviewers suggested. During its first weekend this game was played by all the family and only one or two questions were repeated (Maybe we were lucky). The most obvious difference in this version is that you see and hear Chris Tarrant in live motion, and given the fact that its a DS Lite its done pretty well. The PS1 version just gave you a shot of an empty studio. Another good touch is the "Ask a friend" lifeline. You have four people to choose from, with their ages and hobbies listed so you can make a choice of who you want to use. (You always go for the old man!).
The whole game is based on the original concept of the show (five easy questions to get to 1000 and breaks at 32,000 and 125,000), it was released just before the programme remixed it.
One negative I have is that although you can play a 2 player game, you can't connect two DS's together and there is no high score table so there is absolutely no reason to use the "Walk Away" option, not even to boast that you have your name on the scoreboard!
I bought this game on a BOGOF offer with Madagascar, with Millionaire intended for my wife and myself, with the other game for the kids. But they have liked Millionaire a lot more and have wanted to play it as much as the intended older players. So don't assume that kids of less than ten will not enjoy it, in fact mine have learnt a thing or two from it!
Great game, bad sound November 26, 2008
The questions in this game are varied and good, pretty challenging, especially when english isn`t your main-language. The only bad thing is the sound, which is really poor. I first thought is was something wrong with my DS, but now I`ve bought another game with talking in it and the sound is great...
Would be nice to get straight to questions January 2, 2008

The first few times you play this, it is great and fun because it mimics the game show. However after lots more playing it becomes a bind. The music gets irritating, Chris Tarrant repeating the same phrases and the long intro routine of pressing options spoils the fun of answering questions. It would be great to be able to alter some of the functions so you can just get on - but you can't. Also after playing many times, questions get repeated so it makes you wonder if the question bank is adequate. I guess it's fun if you play it occasionally but if you want something more challenging play Scrabble DS - it's much more addictive.
