Oh never mind. I found that going to the menu paused the clock. And now I've managed to cheat my way to the million!

Another new wii game is called the million pound drop. At the beginning of each round, the contestants have to pick a category of two choices they are given. If the contestants take too long to choose, Davina flips a coin to decide. Each question is multiple-choice, with the first four questions having four choices, the fifth, sixth and seventh questions having three, and the final question having just two choices. Unlike a traditional quiz where the contestants pick one answer, however, it is possible for the contestants to hedge by placing money (in multiples of £25,000) on multiple answers in proportion to how confident they are on the answer (but one answer must always be left with no money on it, which ensures that on the final question only one answer can be chosen). After the question and answers have been read out, the contestants have just over one minute to physically move their money onto trap-doors (called "drops") corresponding to the answer(s) they choose. After the end of the time limit, the trap-doors relating to incorrect answers open (sometimes one by one, and with varying delays to increase suspense), and any money placed on those answers is lost to the contestants (and is picked up by security underneath the stage). If they have any money left, they proceed to the next question where the process is repeated. However, if they lose all their money, they are out of the game. www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3268503 |

Does anyone else think it's odd that we haven't seen any screenshots or videos from the DS version of the game?

Does anyone else think it's odd that we haven't seen any screenshots or videos from the DS version of the game? That does seem a little odd... The only thing I've seen (aside from the supposed box art on Amazon) was a video some guy filmed at E3 or whatever it's called. I think the Millionaire game had a special spot there. |

I agree, I think that we should've seen something by now, but I am just ready for it to be released so I can play it!

Well, the game was officially released today.
For the most part, it's the same as the PC version, except that it has a multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode is actually very clever. Everyone plays all fifteen questions, with the goal being to be the player who gets highest on the money tree. Correct answers move a player up the tree, incorrect answers move a player down the tree. Since all the contestants answer the questions at the same time (without the help of any Lifelines), the answer choices are selected by pressing the button on the control pad that corresponds to the desired answer (not by pointing with the Wii remote, which is how the single player game works). My biggest gripe with the multiplayer game is that the "read the question" cue doesn't turn off when the clock begins on Questions 6-15, so some of the background music is obscured. This is not an issue in single player. Also, the game seems to run more smoothly on the PC, as there are some frame rate issues on the Wii. Overall, though, the game is definitely worth buying for any Millionaire fan.
Any word on the DS version? I didn't pick it up today, although I'm sure I will in the near future. I wanted to have a chance to enjoy the Wii game before exploring its DS counterpart.
