It may frustrate the younger ones, unless they are really into these sorts of word puzzles. It’s much like doing a cross-word puzzle, with very vague general clues like “person” or “same-name.

Well, Vanna has grown older over the years. Her figure isn’t quite as emaciated as it used to be and her clothing is a bit more on the respectable side even if it’s still that sequined Hollywood stuff that no one wears in real life. Wheel of Fortune gives me the same feeling I had backstage all those years ago, and at the same time is sort of like watching those last episodes of the Tonight Show just before Johnny Carson retired, a show in the twilight hours of its heyday.

Wheel of Fortune is certainly made for game-show fans, and if you really love game-shows and always wanted to be a part of that audience applause and the tension without really risking anything except a high-score than I can recommend this to you. The atmosphere is spot-on, the difficulty is there and the pressure to remain under time if you play timed. If you are not into TV Americana, however, I’d give this one a pass.

Although the puzzles are good, they are American specific and all that extra game-show trappings may just drive you crazy. Oh and that children’s game-show that I was on? Well, they asked the audience if they had anything unusual with them during a break. I had something called a Flutaphone in my bag since I had come after school from music class. After the commercial, they asked while taping if people in the audience had these items they had written down, and we were supposed to pretend that we just happened to have them!

So, I had to produce the Flutaphone. It ended up with me as a contestant in a contest to chew crackers and whistle! I can’t whistle unless I “blow-in” and nearly choked to death on stage. I’m sure they never aired that episode. SuperTomBrother -1 point.

But, for the most part her voice is pleasant and not too annoying. I mean it is a game-show and she has to do those, “Allllll riiight! You begin by receiving a word, sentence or phrase to solve and spinning that wheel with the money numbers listed on it, all the while hoping you don’t land on “Loose A Turn” or “Bankrupt” wedges. With every 15 minute round, there is a special money amount added or a surprise wedge.

Go for a spin! When the spin is over, the letters are presented and you can select your letter guess as to what is in the phrase. If you are wrong, the turn is handed over.

If you are right you get cash for each letter in the phrase and can spin again, buy a vowel, or solve the phase! The audience is there too, just like I remembered. The game plays similarly to a Shockwave presentation. Letters are flying about, angles change, Vanna appears on a TV screen, or the Wheel while it spins. It’s all quite flash. Three to four rounds are run in normal, 15 minute mode, and at the end the winner with the most cash goes on to select a secret prize in the Bonus Round.

You are then given a puzzle to solve and a few letters to begin with. You then select 3 consonants and a vowel and attempt to solve it to win the prize. Basically prizes equal a cash value at the end and are added to your score and used to total up your highscore. The strategy revolves around extending your turn as long as possible in order to rack up the cash without landing on an end of turn or bankrupt wedge and trying to figure out the phrase.

If you solve the phrase you keep the fantasy cash. Of course, if you add letters to a good portion of the puzzle but don’t solve it and must hand over your turn, the next contestant in line benefits from your work. There is not a whole lot to it, other than being able to figure out phrasesor words with only a few letters.

Installation was a breeze. One thing that seemed a bit silly was the requirement to manually change your resolution to x, 16 bit. This should be an automated process, there is no reason I have to go to the control settings and change the screen resolution!

Also, the lack of multiplayer is very disappointing. The computer A. So, if you are playing better the computer contestant should too. I don’t know if it’s true, since it is hard for me to judge just exactly how well I’m doing. In the beginning of each round, my choices were hit and miss. Mostly miss. The puzzles are actually designed by the producers of the game and so are consistent and difficult. There are over in the game. Actually, if you are not American, you will have a great deal of trouble with the puzzles unless you are into American geography, heroes, literature, and trivia.

Although, I do have to say there was a British Film as one of the puzzles. A recent, hilarious well, I thought so comedy. But, I think it was entered into last years Oscars. The computer player does give some more of that game-show flavor. Since the human contestants don’t speak, its pretty silent except for the audience and Vanna. With a computer contestant you get him chirping up each turn, “I think I’ll spin, Vanna,” or “I want to buy a vowel, an ‘I’, like in ice cream.

That is annoying. He also tends to help you along with doing only part of the answer, well a large chunk, and then loosing a turn regularly so you can get the jump on him. Playing with multiple human contestants is fun, although there is no multiplayer. You must sit at the same computer and switch seats. If you have kids it could be fun, but some of the questions are fairly obscure and may be difficult for youngsters.

Since I have been living abroad for some odd 8 years now, even I was reaching for certain references. It may frustrate the younger ones, unless they are really into these sorts of word puzzles.

They are all digitized and you can change their name which is kind of cool. You pick your character and then you try to win.

The presentation on offer here is… ok. I have played a more recent game based on Wheel of Fortune and I was amazed at how close to the show that was. Here, the presentation makes use of digitized characters, even Vana White! They look decent enough, but the rest of the game is very bland. It is all done in these windows which look like the default windows that were used on PCs in the mids. The characters do move, but one thing I find funny is that when Vana has to turn a letter over, they did not even animate her doing it.

She just walks past it and the letter turns. I just realized that not everyone reading this may know how to play Wheel of Fortune. The basics are you spin the wheel to hopefully land on a bug money amount. You then pick a constantan and you need to try and solve the puzzle.

You can guess, buy a vowel and do most of the other stuff that you see on TV. There are thousands of puzzles here so the chances of you getting the same one over and over again are very slim. You play against two other opponents. The AI is not bad, they get things right more than they get them wrong so they put up a decent enough challenge. The real fun of this game is playing it with other people. On the Sega CD, this is awesome as you just pass the controller around, sitting hunched around a monitor with the PC version is doable, but not as much fun in my opinion.

Are there better games based on Wheel of Fortune than this one? I would have to say that yes there are. However, to be fair, this was one of if not the first games based on the show that made use of digitized characters so that is cool. It may lack the flash of the games that followed it, but the actual gameplay does closely resemble the TV show.

Let me get this off my chest first: Where the heck is Pat Sajak? Sure Vanna White is a big part of the show, but Pat’s the host for goodness’ sake. How do you re-create the show without the man with the note cards in his hands? That said, Vanna does manage to do a nice job of pulling double duty as host and letter person.

Fairly quick loading full-motion video keeps the show’s personality factor alive. Wheel of Fortune is moderately enjoyable as a one-player game, but you shouldn’t even consider buying it unless you’re going to play with friends. Hasbro has done a great job so far of translating board game experiences to the PlayStation and they can add TV game shows to that list too.

Wheel of Fortune has appeared on many previous systems, but this is by far the best one I’ve ever played. There are over 2, different puzzles, which makes for very little overlap, but I’d sure like to see an expansion-style disc that contained more puzzles and maybe Pat Sajak.

Come to think of it, I haven’t watched the show for a while so maybe he’s not on it anymore? Judging by the box art and in-game footage, Vanna looks a lot older than I remember too. If Hasbro is listening, please find Pat and get him some work. No Whammy, baby! This game is really tight and functional. I could see how cutting from the wheel to the puzzle to Vanna could be slow, but it’s not. It clicks right along. Even Vanna’s FMV stuff is smooth.

The graphics are nothing special but it really doesn’t matter in light of the superior gameplay. I still don’t like the idea of passing one controller around but it’s no big deal. Multiplayer is great. This is truly a game that will entertain the whole family. What can I say? It’s Wheel of Fortune. It’s a practically perfect video game translation of the show you may have watched as a kid that only old people watch now.

Unlike with Hasbro Interactive’s Jeopardy! This game, however, doesn’t make as exciting a party game since only one player goes at a time. The Solo Mode no other contestants is a nice touch for you lonely types. Well, well, another month, another great game show conversion. Like Jeopardy! The presentation is very nicely done, and the game is just a lot of fun to play.

The Solo Mode is nice too, since it allows you to play a iP game without having to wait for stupid, slow computer opponents. Multitap support would’ve been nice, though. How much high-tech glamour does a video game conversion of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune need?

Very little, according to Hasbro Interactive. Wheel offers grainy digitized video, bare-bones graphics, muffled sound effects, choppy voices, and, best of all, very strange Dual Shock support for the spinning effect of the wheel.

Vanna White looks like she’s being broadcast over a distant UHF channel, while the game’s opening video might be streaming across a Commodore But somehow the gameplay captures the spirit of the show perfectly–even though Pat Sa-jak is a PlayStation no-show. With over puzzles and myriad prize variations, Wheel of Fortune’s excitement can go on for hours–or until you scream, “Please, make it stop!

Fans of the Wheel, your game has arrived! Artech Studios and Hasbro have captured all the gameplay and excitement of the long-running hit TV show and brought it home through your Sony PlayStation! This version contains over 2, puzzles that were created by the actual writers of the original show. You can compete against human or computer opponents to win fantasy cash and prizes, with the game customized just the way you want it.

It is a lot of fun to play, and is as close as you can get to the real thing without actually being there. While this is one of the best video game duplications of a TV game show that I have ever seen, there is one major difference from the original: Pat Sajak is absent from the game and the lovely Vanna White has taken over the role as host. I really think Vanna does a great job here and would make an excellent replacement for Pat should he ever decide to move on to something else.

The game has most of the sights and sounds of the original, including the same music and sound of the wheel. The computer opponents even have personalities, and make human-like comments as they play against you. You can play with up to two other human opponents, yet you do not need to purchase a multi-tap adapter or additional controller; you just have to have two of the players sharing one of the controllers.

You have the choice of playing a normal game or a solo game, where you spin the wheel and play by yourself. The goal in the solo game is to play against the clock to win as much fantasy cash and prizes as you can before time runs out.

The standard game length is 15 minutes, but you also have the choice of playing a 10 or 20 minute game, or you can also pick between playing a game that consists of three, four or five rounds.
