The latest addition to the App Store’s expanding line of games for the iPhone and iPod Touch is a novel game called Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The game actually derives its roots from the historic game show by the same name which was recently updated. With new rules, new lifelines and much faster gameplay, gamers can now get on the hot seat.
The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game is bundled with the platform’s advanced technologies and includes innovative sounds and animations straight from the game show. To give it a more real-world touch, the game also packs in high-resolution art and a complete motion video of the original show host Meredith Vieira.
The game play of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game is identical to the popular TV show. Players are challenged to answer 15 questions correctly in the order of difficulty having four lifelines for support. Lifelines include Ask the Audience, Phone a Friend and the new additions Double Dip and Ask the Expert. The mobile game also wraps in a game clock to make it even more thrilling and fast. Players can rely on the unused time when answering the million dollar question.
Midori Yuasa, President, Capcom Interactive, Inc commented, “This is the best looking Millionaire mobile game to date. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ for the iPhone and iPod touch has all the fantastic gameplay that made the series a household name, but with an all-new look that’s sure to be the final answer in trivia.”
The lifelines are enhanced with a new layer of strategy by displaying subject categories of all the 15 questions. Additionally the game has ten actual ‘Experts’ right from the show to answer the mobile game’s 900 odd questions. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire mobile game for the iPhone and iPod Touch is available now from the App Store.
