Amazon.com Product Description

Based on the long-running TV game show, the object of the game is to spin the wheel and solve hangman-like puzzles. Spokes on the wheel have different dollar amounts to win--or lose--depending on whether the letter you guessed appears in the mystery phrase. Some parts of the wheel, however, could mean big money or the end of your turn. The best contestant will compete against the clock in the bonus round. Wheel of Fortune 2 features 2,500 new puzzles as well as behind-the-scenes interviews with star letter-turner Vanna White. The game creates a more realistic contestant experience by including a sample qualifying exam and fantasy prizes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wheel Of Fortune 2 - You're Better Of Getting WoF 1, January 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Wheel of Fortune (2nd Edition) (CD-ROM)

It's ashame Hasbro Interactive didn't test this game before selling it. Yes, the graphics are more exciting in this version, and it has updated game play, but there are piles and piles of errors, besides being very very slow. You get bored because the game play is so slow. Sometimes, if you are lucky, it will let you choose an answer for Fill in the Blank puzzles, other times, it will just shut off. Also, sometimes a letter will appear on the screen and remain there for the rest of the game. Many times you get the same fantasy prize 2 or 3 times in the game. This version also repeats puzzles much more often than the previous version. They made it too high tech without really make it "Work." Sorry For Those Of You Who Are Suffering the Same problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Game!, December 15, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Wheel of Fortune (2nd Edition) (CD-ROM)

This is a good game. I would recommend buying it. Here is my pro/con chart.

Pros:

1. Awsome Graphics
2. Awsome sound
3. You could pick from many settings, including: Las Vegas, and Fast Cars
4. Free spins, bankrupt, like the show
5. choose from minute game and rounds games
6. See career statistics
7. Unlock Bonus interviews
8. cool cinema scenes

Cons:

1. No Pat Sajak
2. Crashes computer sometimes
3. AI (computer) players are really stupid, picking W's and Z's
4. Bad voice acting
5. AI can be annoiing when they pick wrong letters, for example, they would groan like babies, and scream, "AW GEEZ!"
6. No option for easy, or hard games
7. Can't skip cinema scenes

So, even though there are many cons, it is still a good game. Very fun, I recomend buying it.

This review is from: Wheel of Fortune (2nd Edition) (CD-ROM)

(...)this game really does rule! It's better than the first because it has all new puzzles, A BONUS ROUND, and better graphics and gameplay. It's very fun and addicting, so if you liked the first wheel of fortune or watch the tv show a lot then go out and buy it!
