Amazon.com You're in the hot seat with more questions, more Regis, and more fun. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Second Edition is packed with 600 all-new questions, lifelines, and Regis banter that is sure to satisfy fans. The pressure is on--win a million or lose it all. Just try to keep your cool when Regis asks, "Is that your final answer?" Review Even if this second version of the best-selling original "Who Wants To be A Millionaire?" CD-ROM game doesn't bag you a million, it's a wealth of multiple-choice amusement. Testing broadbased knowledge with 600 new questions, the game is a reasonable facsimile of the blockbuster TV show starring the dapper Regis Philbin. The sounds, graphics and playability ring true-right down to the movie clip of "virtual Regis" pointing and asking, "who wants to be a millionaire?" And everything seems crisper, sharper and faster than in the original CD-ROM version that sold more than a million. Play alone or test your speed knowledge in the "fastest finger" round to beat a competitor to the hot seat. Amaze yourself with how much-and how little-you know. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Silver Honor. Reviewed by Don Oldenburg, Parents' Choice® 2000 -- From Most hard-core gamers probably gnash their teeth at the thought of Regis Philbin and his simple-minded trivia game outselling every other supposedly respectable game on the market.

Who better to usher these average Americans into the Hot Seat and give them a shot at accidental wealth than a common-man celebrity like Regis? While the game doesn't reproduce the social drama that makes the TV show so popular, it makes do with the bare-bones gameplay and adds some of the design qualities of the developer's signature product, the much better You Don't Know Jack. Each aspect of the show is re-created in the computer game in some fashion. In single-player mode, you go right into the Hot Seat, where you must ascend a ladder of 15 multiple-choice trivia questions to win. Reaching the one thousand and thirty-two thousand dollar milestones guarantees you will win at least that much if you lose later, though it hardly matters. All you'll get is an onscreen check with Regis' signature. When you feel stumped, you have three "lifelines" to use throughout the climb. The 50/50 option removes two of the three wrong answers to a question. You can ask to poll the audience, which gives you the actual res
