Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Lite 1.0.1

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: Jason Parker on March 18, 2009

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Lite is a free, six-question preview of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, a game based on the current U.S. version of the world-famous TV game show. The game faithfully recreates the look and feel of the show, from the live video clip of Meredith Viera kicking off each game ("Let's play Millionaire!") to the music, sound effects, graphics, and question format and categories. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire even gives you the game's signature "lifelines": Ask the Audience, Double Dip, Phone a Friend (with canned help from fictional friends), and Ask an Expert (you unlock one of ten random experts in the Lite version). This version does a good job of getting you acquainted with the game, but with a limited number of questions and the inability to play past the $2,000 level, it offers very little replay value on its own.

Publisher's description

From Capcom :

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Lite, challenges players to correctly answer 15 questions of increasing difficulty with the help of four lifelines - Ask the Audience, Phone a Friend and the Double Dip and Ask the Expert. Ten experts provide answers to the mobile game's nearly 1,000 questions. Just like on TV, players must answer before the game clock runs out, and any time remaining on the clock is banked for the million-dollar question. Authentic sounds and animations taken right from the show, as well as full-motion video of host Meredith Vieira. Take the hot seat and test your knowledge with nearly 1,000 general knowledge questions. Climb your way to $1 Million with four different lifelines including: Phone a Friend, Ask The Audience and the new Double Dip and Ask The Expert.

Version 1.0.1 fixed a rare crash bug.
