Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is the hit TV show which first aired in the U.S. a decade ago. Capcom Mobile now brings that popular TV show to mobile phones dubbed as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2010. The title is launched on North American wireless carriers by the company.
This installment of the famous title includes new features like a game clock and new lifelines. The acclaimed game is being released to commemorate the show’s 10th anniversary. The past ten years have seen hot seat contestants taking home cash worth $133 million. This is from both the original primetime show as well as the syndicate show.
“Millionaire is a cultural phenomenon and we’re thrilled to be part of this historic 10TH anniversary celebration. The franchise has been a huge part of our company from the beginning, and we’re excited to see what the next 10 years of Millionaire will bring,” commented Midori Yuasa, President, Capcom Interactive, Inc.
In the game Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2010 players must answer correctly a total of 15 questions of progressive difficulty. Their only aid is in the form of four lifelines. This includes Ask the Expert, Phone a Friend, Ask the Audience and Double Dip. If stumped, the gamers are helped by ten real Experts from the reality show. They aid in providing the answers to 1000 questions in the mobile-oriented title.
A new layer of strategy has been added to the lifelines. Contestants will now be able to espy the subject categories of the 15 questions that will be posed to the player in each game. The latest inclusion called game clock enables players to keep the unused time for that nail-biting million dollar question.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2010 is already available for download with mostly all North American carriers.
