Nice New features July 10, 2007

This new 2007 Deluxe version of Wheel of Fortune is identical to the downloadable versions now available on MSN and Yahoo Games. That isn't a bad thing, mind you... its just the same. There's no annoying video clips of Vanna White to slow you down, and it is extensive in the stat keeping department as well. Moves along fast, and the Puzzle a Day is a really nice bonus that is exclusive to this year's version.

Wheel Of Fortune Deluxe. It's certainly a lot better than Jeopardy! Deluxe and Jeopardy. Those PC games ware ruined by making the responses multiple choice. But there is a downside : The 2,000 puzzles. Although that is a lot of puzzles, for me it's not enough becuase I am constantly getting the same puzzles again and again. And not just that, The computer opponents are difficult to defeat. They have difficulty setting but that doesn't do much. They are Still difficult to defeat on the "EASY" setting. Other than that, This is a grat Wheel Of Fortune Game. Now, if only a Nintendo DS or Wii version would be released.
 Slow, few options, still entertaining November 26, 2007

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows Vista, but had no compatible games, so I bought Wheel of Fortune. To be honest, I'm not sure they tested this game too well with Vista -- it occasionally shuts down mid-game, and will almost NEVER close properly -- try to exit the game, and 90& of the time it is "Not Responding" for at least 3 to 4 minutes before finally closing down...very annoying, as it takes up every bit of the 1G of RAM I have to run, and makes it almost impossible to do anything else on the computer until the game finally decides to close itself. Possibly if you have 2G of RAM, this will function more smoothly for you.
There are few options -- you can't play with more than one player (you can play alone, or against 2 computer opponents). There are very few options after that. One annoying feature is the super-short amount if time is gives you in the bonus round to type in the rest of the answer...not NEARLY long enough if you've got a longer puzzle.
That being said, I am still highly addicted to this game! But I sure wish it performed better, because it runs very poorly. The older version is MUCH, MUCH better if you've got an XP platform.

This is a must for anyone who enjoys playing along at home when watching Wheel Of Fortune on television. The graphics are great and there are many different playing options.
