The kids will love it too! - By: S. Knight, 10 Mar 2007
As a family we are big fans of the 'who wants to be a millionare' series of interactive dvd's,and this versionin particular is a big hitin our household.
The adult & junior versions have resultedin more fun for the youngsters & now this version gives you the option of choosing the style of questioning also,allowing you to choose general knowledge,sport or entertainment.
I still say the 'who wants to be a millionare' dvd's are the best interactive games out there & every Christmas it never fails to make an appearance
No setting up required,no big boxes to put away,and educational to boot,what more do you want?

Good, but with annoyances - By: N. Christie, 31 Dec 2006
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 & his repetitive phrasesin 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 & using supplement DVDs.

There are options of tackling Adult or Junior 'difficulties', & categories of General Knowledge, Entertainment, & Sport.

Once choosing either Adult / Junior, & 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, & 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 & 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, & 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

Allin 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 & increasing the question bank would make this a 5* item as opposed to a 3*
