Customer Reviews
aggravating
Usually when I play video games, I play alone using one-player modes. The one-player mode on this game was extremely annoying.
The computer players are always yelling out goofy phrases while spinning the wheel; they also seem to get less "bankrupts" and "lose a turns" while getting more "special prizes" than you; I played some rounds where I didn't even get to spin the darn wheel. If you want to have any fun with this game play it with NO computer players. Maybe invite some friends and/or family over to play it with you because like I said earlier it just isn't much fun playin' solo. I give it 2 stars at best.
DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION
I thought the PS2 version would have an enhancd version of the Playstation 1 editiion. WRONG!!!There is no enhancement and it is harder to operate the game. The Playstation one versions are more fun and easier to play. DO NOT BUY THIS- the graphics are harder to see! A message to game designers-WHY TAKE A GAME FROM PS1 TO PS2 if you don`t design it BIGGER AND BETTER? Stick with the Playstation one versions, they are fun and easier to play!
Great Game for the whole family
My family and I play this game together and it teaches my kids how to spell and have good sportsmanship. I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to have fun and also is a good learning tool.
Meh. Looks good. That's it.
Okay. So this game was suppose to come out last year. It didn't. I thought that would be great, because there would be great new updates. I was wrong.
First, Artech Studios (the developers), used most of the same code from other WoF games. This means that there's no new game rule updates. It's been 5 years since any major change to Artech's line. No Mystery, no Toss-Up, no Bonus Wheel, nothing new. Other bugs include the fact that many videos that are on the disc, are not played in the game, such as the intro video (the one like the TV show). Why is this? Did Artech not check their code before sending this game to gold? Also, the annoying audience noise speed-up round bug is back into this game. So is the bug that let's you use a free spin in the bonus round.
However, the sets are beautiful! They look so good. And the new motion blur (ala GTA3) on the wheel is cool, and the vibration is back. We even have a 3 flippered wheel (finally!). However, with such great looking sets, all you really see is the wheel and the board. No fun zooming, you see the board, and the wheel. All the other eye candy remains rendered, but out of view.
So to boil it down, this new WoF has good looking sets, that you only see the board and wheel of.
Also, there's one new mode, "2 player, No AI". It's so nice to be able to play with a friend, and not worry about a computer player solving all the puzzles. Speaking of the AI, they've got the same scratchy voices, but play much better.
Pros:
Looks Great
New "2 Player, with no AI" Mode
3 Flippered, Motion Blurred wheel
Cons:
Not enough view of the sets
No new rule changes
Bad Bugs Still Exist
New videos are recorded, but aren't used in game due to yet another bug.
The new Vanna audio is poorly transfered.

AWSOME
This game is much better than WHEEL OF FORTUNE 1 and 2 for PSX. It has a great graphics and many new puzzles but I wish they would make one with the new set and rounds.
