Editorial Review
Get ready to spin that wheel! Vanna White is your hostess in this home version of TV's popular game show. Compete head-to-head with an opponent or against the computer's video contestants to score points and win big. Gameplay is similar to the hit TV program. Contestants must guess the correct letters to slowly uncover a surprise word or phrase. Each spin of the wheel determines the dollar value of a correct guess. You can also buy vowels to help you solve a puzzle. This game contains hundreds of unique phrases and words to guess, which ensures that you'll return to play numerous times.

There have been many home versions of Wheel of Fortune over the years, but this version boasts gameplay that is most faithful to the original televised version. The celebrity presence of hostess Vanna White adds an element of legitimacy to the game, but her canned commentaries do get old quickly. Where's Pat Sajak when you need him? --Brett Atwood

Pros:

  • Hundreds of unique puzzles to solve
  • Faithful reproduction of the hit TV series
Cons:
  • Vanna White irritates after prolonged exposure

4 out of 5 stars Great family fun.   December 17, 2007

I wish this game didn't have to wait on Vanna and had the option to play with only 2 players (even tho you can't do that in real life, it's an option I'd like on my game). I don't like this specific games shares the controller. I find that annoying. Overall, the game itself is grand. My entire family will sit and play.


5 out of 5 stars love it!   April 5, 2006

5 out of 5 stars Where's Pat?   July 7, 2002

Like almost everyone, I agree that Vanna's comments between plays are tiresome. But the game is as realistic as the TV show. Still, I would really like to know why she's hosting and not Pat Sajak.............


4 out of 5 stars Nice challenge for the middle school set!   January 19, 2002

I use this one in my classroom on one of those "Freaky Fridays." The kids are arranged in equal-numbered teams with one student being the respective team captain. Although some of the solutions and categories are a little unfamiliar to them, with my guidance, they do fairly well.

I encourage other teachers to make this a part of their educational "challenge."


5 out of 5 stars A Great Game... But Where is Pat?   April 11, 2001

This is excellent, get this one and shy away from the 2nd edition. This game plays like you are "really there". But why isn't Pat Sajack considered for the games? I think it would have been wonderful to have had both Pat and Vanna on the games, doing equal roles... Notice that on the earlier NES versions they had "...featuring Vanna White" For the PS2 version, which will probably come out next summer, it should be "...featuring Pat Sajack and Vanna White"... Just a though to you Hasbro Interactive people out there!
