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



4 out of 5 stars It's alright except for one thing....   November 17, 2008
It's one player and you don't even get a computer opponent. In my opinion, that takes something from the game.


2 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED   October 25, 2008
Wheel Of Fortune Deluxe
I am very dissappointed because you have to start over at the very begining each time you play. You already know the answers to each game and it takes too long to get to a new 'board' because of this flaw. Being able to jump to a new board would make the game more fun.

We found this version of WoF didn't have the correct drivers as part of its installation and needed some Micromedai Flashman 3 drivers. In our particular case we had to organise another graphics card to cope with what was required. Not very IT friendly.


1 out of 5 stars Hangs up on XP and Vista   June 26, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.
