Falling ratings for the TV show of the same name do not mean that the GBA shouldn't get in on the action. Who Wants to be a Millionaire? was a massive success when it first appeared on console and PC a couple of years ago, even though there was no real cheque available at the end of the game. Now available for everyone's favourite handheld, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? makes its bid to become the main attractant to fellow passengers on those yawnsome journeys. It's a good possibility that you'll make a few friends with a copy of this game, but only if you can refrain from being too much of a smart-alec. Who Wants to be a Millionaire? works best in company, yes, but as more and more folks crowd you for a look at the comparatively tiny GBA screen, you may find yourself craving solitude - the ideal opportunity to bone up for the next interminable trip.
The gameplay in Who Wants to be a Millionaire? follows exactly the same pattern as the TV show from the hotseat onwards. A series of 15 questions, ascending in difficulty, are put to you, and every time you reply correctly, from a list of four possible answers, the more virtual money you win. Can you make it to the magic million?
