They are all digitized and you can change their name which is kind of cool. You pick your character and then you try to win. The presentation on offer here is… ok. I have played a more recent game based on Wheel of Fortune and I was amazed at how close to the show that was. Here, the presentation makes use of digitized characters, even Vana White! They look decent enough, but the rest of the game is very bland.
It is all done in these windows which look like the default windows that were used on PCs in the mids. The characters do move, but one thing I find funny is that when Vana has to turn a letter over, they did not even animate her doing it. She just walks past it and the letter turns.
I just realized that not everyone reading this may know how to play Wheel of Fortune. The basics are you spin the wheel to hopefully land on a bug money amount. You then pick a constantan and you need to try and solve the puzzle. You can guess, buy a vowel and do most of the other stuff that you see on TV.
There are thousands of puzzles here so the chances of you getting the same one over and over again are very slim. You play against two other opponents. The AI is not bad, they get things right more than they get them wrong so they put up a decent enough challenge.
The real fun of this game is playing it with other people. On the Sega CD, this is awesome as you just pass the controller around, sitting hunched around a monitor with the PC version is doable, but not as much fun in my opinion.
Are there better games based on Wheel of Fortune than this one? I would have to say that yes there are. However, to be fair, this was one of if not the first games based on the show that made use of digitized characters so that is cool. It may lack the flash of the games that followed it, but the actual gameplay does closely resemble the TV show.
Let me get this off my chest first: Where the heck is Pat Sajak? Sure Vanna White is a big part of the show, but Pat's the host for goodness' sake. How do you re-create the show without the man with the note cards in his hands? That said, Vanna does manage to do a nice job of pulling double duty as host and letter person. Fairly quick loading full-motion video keeps the show's personality factor alive.
Wheel of Fortune is moderately enjoyable as a one-player game, but you shouldn't even consider buying it unless you're going to play with friends.
Hasbro has done a great job so far of translating board game experiences to the PlayStation and they can add TV game shows to that list too. Wheel of Fortune has appeared on many previous systems, but this is by far the best one I've ever played. There are over 2, different puzzles, which makes for very little overlap, but I'd sure like to see an expansion-style disc that contained more puzzles and maybe Pat Sajak.
Come to think of it, I haven't watched the show for a while so maybe he's not on it anymore? Judging by the box art and in-game footage, Vanna looks a lot older than I remember too. If Hasbro is listening, please find Pat and get him some work. No Whammy, baby! This game is really tight and functional. I could see how cutting from the wheel to the puzzle to Vanna could be slow, but it's not. It clicks right along. Even Vanna's FMV stuff is smooth.
The graphics are nothing special but it really doesn't matter in light of the superior gameplay. I still don't like the idea of passing one controller around but it's no big deal. Multiplayer is great. This is truly a game that will entertain the whole family. What can I say? It's Wheel of Fortune. It's a practically perfect video game translation of the show you may have watched as a kid that only old people watch now.
Unlike with Hasbro Interactive's Jeopardy! This game, however, doesn't make as exciting a party game since only one player goes at a time. The Solo Mode no other contestants is a nice touch for you lonely types. Well, well, another month, another great game show conversion.
Like Jeopardy! The presentation is very nicely done, and the game is just a lot of fun to play. The Solo Mode is nice too, since it allows you to play a iP game without having to wait for stupid, slow computer opponents. Multitap support would've been nice, though. How much high-tech glamour does a video game conversion of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune need? Very little, according to Hasbro Interactive. Wheel offers grainy digitized video, bare-bones graphics, muffled sound effects, choppy voices, and, best of all, very strange Dual Shock support for the spinning effect of the wheel.
Vanna White looks like she's being broadcast over a distant UHF channel, while the game's opening video might be streaming across a Commodore But somehow the gameplay captures the spirit of the show perfectly--even though Pat Sa-jak is a PlayStation no-show. With over puzzles and myriad prize variations, Wheel of Fortune's excitement can go on for hours--or until you scream, "Please, make it stop! Fans of the Wheel, your game has arrived!
Artech Studios and Hasbro have captured all the gameplay and excitement of the long-running hit TV show and brought it home through your Sony PlayStation! This version contains over 2, puzzles that were created by the actual writers of the original show. You can compete against human or computer opponents to win fantasy cash and prizes, with the game customized just the way you want it.
It is a lot of fun to play, and is as close as you can get to the real thing without actually being there. While this is one of the best video game duplications of a TV game show that I have ever seen, there is one major difference from the original: Pat Sajak is absent from the game and the lovely Vanna White has taken over the role as host. I really think Vanna does a great job here and would make an excellent replacement for Pat should he ever decide to move on to something else.
The game has most of the sights and sounds of the original, including the same music and sound of the wheel. The computer opponents even have personalities, and make human-like comments as they play against you. You can play with up to two other human opponents, yet you do not need to purchase a multi-tap adapter or additional controller; you just have to have two of the players sharing one of the controllers.
You have the choice of playing a normal game or a solo game, where you spin the wheel and play by yourself. The goal in the solo game is to play against the clock to win as much fantasy cash and prizes as you can before time runs out.
The standard game length is 15 minutes, but you also have the choice of playing a 10 or 20 minute game, or you can also pick between playing a game that consists of three, four or five rounds. If your PlayStation is equipped with dual-shock controllers, your controller will vibrate each time you spin the wheel. To pick a letter, you simply use the directional buttons to move through the letter chooser.
Letters that are available to be chosen will be highlighted in blue as you move over them. Letters that are not available will be darkened, and will be skipped when moving through them. Upon spinning the wheel, you have 20 seconds to pick a letter. If you allow more than 20 seconds to elapse, you automatically forfeit your turn to the next player. The basic strategy of the game is to solve word puzzles in an effort to win money and prizes. The winner is the player who has won the highest cumulative dollar value in both fantasy cash and prizes for those rounds played with the three players.
The winner then gets to play the "Bonus Round. I thought the developers did an excellent job of re-creating the look and feel of the game, and the graphics are quite good. The wheel looks just like the one on TV, and the layout of the game is much like the original as well.
The video segments were well done also, with many full-screen videos of both Vanna and the fantasy prizes that are given away. The video commentaries are both clear and quick, with very little delays. Many PlayStation games are notorious for slow loading times, but I felt that this game has done well to eliminate much of those problems.
The only long wait that I experienced was in the initial loading of the game, where the data from the memory card was loaded along with the game data. I would highly recommend the use of a memory card for this game, which will prevent the same puzzles from being played over and over again. The memory card will keep track of which puzzles have been played, keeping the game fresh.
With over 2, puzzles, it will be a long time before you will see a repeat. I found it very difficult to find anything wrong with this game. It is just like the original, except that the Sony PlayStation will not be capable of producing real cash or prizes any time in the foreseeable future. It is challenging and fun, so if you are a regular viewer you will not be disappointed with this game.
Who knows? With enough practice on the PlayStation version, you just might be able to prepare yourself well enough to become a contestant on the TV show and bring home some REAL cash and prizes. Good Luck!! If you've always wanted in on the action, here's your chance to spin for simulated cash and prizes. So real, you'll wonder where Vanna is. You can't check out Jenny Powell's pins as this is the American version.
As the Yanks might say, "this sucks. Totally and utterly awful conversion of America's favourite gameshow. A turn-based monstrosity that often has you waiting for up to 15 minutes with absolutely nothing to do but stare at the vile shapes jerking about on the screen. A turd. Fans of the TV show will be fans of the game because the CD almost exactly duplicates the show.
Wheel's concept is inexplicably popular. Unlike Jeopardy! The CD offers simple word puzzles, and you spell out the answers. The controls are basic, and the strategy is minimal basically, try not to buy vowels. Merv Griffin, the show's creator, got rich from Wheel, but Sony Imagesoft probably won't.
