Since the PC game is based on the last season, there's basically two things that season Millionaire is known for: Music and Lifelines. Somehow, Ludia messes up both.
Music: Yikes. Where do I begin? Did they even ever watch a full episode of Millionaire? First, while the host is explaining the rules - there's no Explain the Rules cue. Second, for each question win in the lower tier, it makes the $7500 win sound. Third, while they decided to include little sound effects (like the clock stopping) - they failed to include other iconic music - like the ATA music, or the PAF music, or the Double Dip music. At least the other music is correct for question level.
Lifelines: So there's no ATE. I can understand that, but I've found in the middle tier - the Audience can't be trusted. Again, it's like they've never watched an episode of Millionaire.
The host is generic (but all questions are read), and the graphics max out at a whopping 1024x768 (is this 2002?). At least you can now choose to flip on anti-aliasing. Plus, the fonts are all wrong. I would argue that the pre-rendered scenes they put on the box and the website might constitute false advertising, the game doesn't look that good.
Oh yea, and there's no multi-player.
It's just a bare minimum experience with Ludia. These are not simple flash games, I don't want to run through the game quick. I want some eye-candy, I want the music correct. If I'm going to play it alone, than I want a true-to-tv experience.
2 / 5. I'll post a video soon.
Skip it. Or, wait until the PS3 version comes out next year, and that will have all the bugs fixed - and be the cheapest (like PYL).
//Lazily enough, they left all the audio for the multiplayer mode in the build.
