4.0 out of 5 stars Is that your final SPORTS answer?, November 26, 2000

Well it looks like King Regis is turning his attention to the wide world of sports. Makes sense since his best friend is Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz. This game gives the four year old, You Don't Know Jack Sports Edition competition. The questions are much tougher. Even Regis' cracks when you get an answer right are new, and like the second edition (released earlier this year) questions don't repeat as often. I played six games before I reached $1,000 for the first time, and I only bought the game today. Get this game before the year is out, and yes that is my final answer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Letdown, September 30, 2001

Even though the first two games had thier drawbacks this takes the cake as being the worst in the seires. Iwas excited when I first got this game but right from the start I knew I hated it. I love sports but they should never try this again. First of all the game is so slow not only the intro this time but everything and they give info after some questions to tell you why it is right. Regis goes back to his old tactics crude, annyoing, and obnoxcious. The questions repeat so it is easy to win the million. I was disgusted with this game. This is basically the first edition but somehow worse. Don't get this game it's a waste.

3.0 out of 5 stars not a million-dollar winner, January 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Sports Edition (CD-ROM)

On one hand, the questions are HARD. Harder than the WWTBAM 2nd edition. And they are varied in breadth and scope. On the other hand, the game engine tends to repeat questions much more quickly than WWTBAM2. Plus some of the musical cues (the ones which play before a question is displayed, to be precise) are missing. However, for the entertainment value, it's a pretty good buy. Not great, not a million-dollar-level, but if you love the TV show... it's not bad.
