Graphics & Sound:
One day, we will get to the age of totally interactive television gameshows. Until then, we can play the home versions of our favorites. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is almost an exact duplicate of the highly rated ABC show. Same graphics are used, the same music, and you even have a digital Regis Philbin in the intro. The set, which duplicates the one from the show, sans the audience and a contestant and host in the chairs, is highly detailed. The music is played during your game to add to the tension.

Gameplay:
Have you ever seen the show? It is played in the exact same way. You are given a series of fifteen questions, with each question answered correctly increasing the pot. The last question is worth one million dollars. Man, I wish this part of the game were real. On each question, you are given 4 choices of answers, with only one of them being correct. You have 3 lifelines you can utilize during your round: 50:50 which eliminates half of the wrong answers, leaving you with a 50:50 chance to get the right answer; Phone a friend which allows you to receive help from a friend of Regis's (which is different from the show but we forgive them); You can poll the audience, which are actually the results of an Internet poll. The game is single elimination, so if you miss one question - your done. You can also play with your friends. To decide who goes first, you all gather around the keyboard and see who have the fastest fingers in answering a question. You will be given a list of things that will need to be put in a specific order and whoever is fastest goes first. Next fastest, second, and so on.

Difficulty:
This is entirely up to you. If you're a brainy type person, the million dollors is only a few questions away. If you're not that bright, and you miss the $100 question, expect to be made fun of by Regis, a lot!

Game Mechanics:
Utilizing the keyboard makes this game very simple. You type in your name, you choose from 4 answers, A, B, C, and D on the keyboard. You choose Y for yes and N for no when Regis wants to know 'Is that you're final answer?' That's all there is too it. So go play the game and win yourself some of that fake cyber money!
