Manufacturer's Description
The all new Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Party Edition delivers the atmosphere and tension of the hit TV series but with addition of exciting new party game features. For the first time the whole family will be able to play against each other to fight for the right to win a virtual million pounds.

With legendary host Chris Tarrant calling all the shots the aim of the game, as you probably already know, is to win a million pounds. However with the addition of multiplayer party modes it will take nerves of steel as well as brains and to land the big prize. Unfortunately, the game doesn't come with a million pounds, so instead we're going to convert your financial winnings into points. Do you have what it takes? We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Game modes:
Single player:
Classic Millionaire - As close as you can get to the TV show without being in the studio: one contestant; fifteen sequential questions; and a virtual million pounds to be won.

Quick Fire - A fast-paced but more forgiving variant on Classic Millionaire, with questions asked against a timer but there are chances available in case you make a mistake.

Multiplayer :
Millionaire Party - A hectic game mode ideal for the truly competitive. Players 'buzz in' to answer questions, but even if you're not fastest on the buzzer you can always try Stealing the chance to answer, or even Double-Daring your rival if you think they don' t know the answer. You also have three second Chances if you get a question wrong.

Play or Pass - A more tactical game mode which allows players to not only choose the level of question they want to answer, but also lets you pass a tricky question onto another player in the hope they will get it wrong instead of you.

Millionaire Remix - Keep on your toes as you battle through a series of rounds, competing to collect enough Chances and Lifelines or deny them to your rivals to help you be the first to reach the million pound prize.

Multi-Millionaire - Classic Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? adapted for multiple contestants. Players take turns to try and win the million pound prize, with only Lifelines between them and elimination if they get an answer wrong.

Quick-Fire - A high speed game mode where it's all about answering the questions fast!

Play on PlayStation 2 with three other friends using the Buzz! Buzzers which are connected directly to the USB port at the front of the console. You can also play with one other person by connecting two controllers to the console. You can also use the Multitap (sold separately) and four DualShock2 controllers to play four player games.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Party Edition features 4000 completely new and exclusive questions written for the game by the TV show question writers.

Play Single player Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? or battle against friends and family in one of the new Multiplayer modes which feature all-new functionality. You are able to steal, pass and double dare your opposition in timed rounds. We also have a new Chance feature you can use that will allow you to get some questions wrong and not have to leave the game. Adapt Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Party Edition to the experience you want to play.

Using the EyeToy USB Camera, you and your friends are able to take mugshots that can then be displayed on the Scorestacker screen and on the winning cheque.

Customer Reviews

Bad design, poorly executed, shame
I was hoping this game would be a fun addition to the Buzz range. Really awful. Once you start a game, there seems no way of stopping it. It doesn't work at all how you'd expect. Very disappointing, do avoid. I shall be selling this game shortly on Amazon Marketplace, so if you don't want to heed my warning, feel free to buy my Used Once title ;)

Very poo, confusing and difficult to play
At first we thought it was going to be funny when we chose the characters, but thats about twhen the fun stopped. You take turns in answering questions yet you can steal the other persons questions and do all sorts of bizarre things which are pointless. Youll be give a question to answer yet someone else can buzz in, making the whole game pointless. Lucky I got it in a bundle...lucky theres ebay

Good for a Millionaire game
I think there's something you have got to bear in mind when buying this game. This game isn't a Buzz game with a Millionaire style, it's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire where instead of using controllers, you can use Buzz buzzers too.

The game is very good for millionaire standards, good graphics, finally a full score of music in the game, and some nice multiplayer modes. Set up is quick and there isn't too long a wait between questions in normal mode.

It's also nice to be able to set the difficulty - this either gives you the standard 3 lifelines (medium), no lifelines (flippin hard), and 3 lifelines and 3 chances (easy).

For a Millionaire game, I thoroughly recommend this, and if you enjoyed any of the others in the series then you will definitely enjoy this. If you're looking at this game because it's in relation to Buzz, then this game may not be for you. It's not like the other buzz games and isn't as good - but it IS compatible with the buzzers.

Hope that helps!
