Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? 2nd Edition (PS1) Playthrough [4K]
0"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? 2nd Edition" is a quiz/party game published by Eidos Interactive and is the sequel to the first edition. It is a video game adaptation of the popular television quiz show of the same name, where contestants answers a series of increasingly difficult multiple-choice questions with the goal of winning a cash prize of one million units of the local currency.
The game features lifelines that players can use to aid them in answering difficult questions, just like in the TV show. These lifelines include "50:50," which eliminates two incorrect answers, "Phone a Friend," where players can seek assistance from a virtual friend, and "Ask the Audience," which provides the audience's opinion on the correct answer.
The second edition remains largely unchanged from its predecessor, featuring identical gameplay, graphics, and interface. However, a notable addition is the inclusion of around 600 new questions. This increased question pool reduces the frequency of repetition, addressing a concern from the first edition where questions tended to repeat, turning it into more of a memory game. The questions are also more challenging than in the first edition.
The game successfully encapsulates the spirit of the TV show, delivering a captivating quiz experience on the gaming console. The inclusion of extra questions not only enhances the challenge but also extends the game's replay value.
