The suspense and game rules are successfully recreated in this excellent Game Show

The Good
Well, this is the sequel to the fastest selling game of all time and it does not disappoint. I figure you know how the game goes in Millionaire since millions of people watch it every day. You have your lifelines, the music, and Reege will talk to you a lot and says the right things at the right time, some of them funny although not as funny as Jellyvision's You Don't Know Jack, and has only 600 questions next to Jack's one thousand. But the suspense is present and you actually will feel like you are in the game, bitting your nails literally, for the one million dollar question. This game will keep you glued to your monitor for ahile, and is worth your twenty bucks.

The Bad
Repeated questions and not enough humor like the marble joke are the only bad parts.

The Bottom Line
A trivia, suspenseful game based on the hit TV gameshow with commentary by Reegis Philbin.
