2.0 out of 5 stars Only a 1-player game..., September 5, 2007

By	Carolyn J. Swanson (Margate, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I purchased this for my son and I to play, but you can only play a one-player game. There is no option for a 2nd or 3rd player. If I had known this, I would not have purchased this version.

Other than that, it's fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hangs up on XP and Vista, June 26, 2008

By	Joe G. (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This game appears to have several bugs that cause it to hang up. I tried installing it on two different PCs; one with XP PRO and another brand new machine with VISTA. In both cases the game would install and play but then you could not exit the game. I've subsequently read about this same problem in other web reviews of the software. You need to terminate the game using the Windows Task Manager. It also does not remember your "avatar" when you re-launch the game. I tried to uninstall and re-install several times and got the same problems.

As a test I uninstalled this CD version and downloaded the game from the Sony (Wheel of Fortune) game website. The downloaded version behaved the same way.

It's too bad because it is a fun game. I am returning this game and would not recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Money!, November 28, 2008

By	Jude Rheutan - See all my reviews

This is the worst piece of software I have ever seen. What is even more amazing is that there are reviews with a 5 star rating! Where is the difference?? Every time the game starts, you must solve the same puzzles, in the same order, until you finally get to a new puzzle. I have to re-boot the computer to exit the game. Other than those 2 problems, it's fine. Can I give it a 0.01 star rating? Save you money!
Amazon should do its customers a favor and remove this version from its shelves.
