My guess is that the multiplayer mode will be several people working on that goal in turns, like the old Super Mario Brothers.

If they do something different, I will happily retract my disappointment and non-surprise.

Found a few screenshots of Family Feud Decades. The game is also being promoted as "Family Feud 2011" by UbiSoft. Looks like the box art changed slightly too, ditching the eggcrate style year font.

The first two sets look way too big, and their survey boards have the score displays too low (much like Game Show Marathon), but they're still very nice. I do recall hearing that the '94 set and the two Karn sets will be in there, though. Hopefully the music, sounds, and graphics will be appropriate for each set.

And does the presence of the bank displays on the Combs set mean anything, or is that just an oversight?

Of course this is the sort of thing you can do 'cuz it's all virtual, but man, mis-estimate the size of the set much? Those things are CAVERNS.

And yet, somehow, they now only have room for four family members.

So much for the cameras adding ten pounds.

Seconded on the "four family members" point. Having only four microphones on podiums obviously made for 5 people just looks weird.

Even without the '94 set, I'm pleasauntly surprised that they recreated the sets nicely.  Now I'm leanning towards getting FF Decades.  Only a trailer stands in the way of making me get one.

It's nice that it has spell checker(which is good since I'm not a real good speller), synonym comparisons & shortcuts.  The only problem I see is how they'll handle questionable answers(which the Facebook version is often accused of allowing/rejecting on certain survey questions).

So I got my copy of the new PC version of Millionaire in the mail today, and while I am enjoying it, I can't help wondering if the majority of the questions come directly from the show itself - first game I played this afternoon and the question in this clip (for $50K) came up.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

And... while I'm thinking of it, slightly OT - did they change the music cues for the clock format once they changed the money ladder in Season 8?  It sounds like the stings are slightly lower notes in said clip.

Thanks,
Ryan.

And to contribute to the actual topic, don't forget that the THQ Wheel and Jeopardy! games will hit shelves tomorrow.

And Minute to Win It, The Amazing Race, and the newest installment of 5th Grader.

Hooray for GameStop store credit.

I actually saw TAR on a Target store shelf tonight. Looked like typical Ludia fare, but who knows.
