Good questions, loveless implementation

As a South Park fan, I bought it mainly because of the additional packages that you can pick up for some extra money. Basically, I find that quizzes are good for DLC good, because most of us have their specialties through which they are particularly happy to be quizzed. One can question online packages to "South Park", "Star Trek", "film" buy "music" and other topics. Some of them come with graphical and acoustic adjustments therefore that match the theme - but do not expect too much. In "South Park" for example, the well-known characters from the series appear only as a telephone joker and sometimes comment on the player's progress. Quickly repeat Einspieler.

But before I too eingehe now on the DLC: Here you get only once only the basic game for the PC, with a colorful mix of general knowledge questions. These are pleasantly demanding and it might need a few tries at most, until you crack the million. Difficulty says to me, rather too heavy, too light. However, I noticed that a repeat of the "valuable" issues relatively quickly because apparently randomly chosen one of them instead of first is not used to use all. So it can happen that after a few rounds a million question is asked for the second time.

The quality of the questions for a quiz game, of course, important, but how it looks with the trappings? Unfortunately revealed "Millionaire" here his greatest weakness. Graphically should not expect too much you. The studio is implemented fairly basic, which in my opinion does not fall, but so much weight. The moderator annoying but quickly repetitions. At least he does not talk all too much. Ah yes: It does not sit Günther Jauch in the chair and you have to make do with English language edition, which fans of the German game show could be an eyesore. The questions are not read, but appears in German. That may spoil the atmosphere, but in a game of this price range, it was probably no other way.

About the installation have here already many complains to register with Steam is required. Whether must be something ... no, I do not think so. Steam should be optional. Just because the target audience is likely mostly here consist of casual gamers, which one should not unnecessarily complicate the installation.

A big disappointment was the multiplayer mode for me. You can not play against each other online, what I would have verschmerzt. But even on a sofa can not escape each other in direct competition to. The players are namely alternate turns and answer different questions. It is understandable that as quickly arises frustration when a abbekommt a much lighter or heavier than question his friends. You also have to constantly wait idly until you're back at the series. This led us to the fact that we played well as a number with a character and would rather get together than to torment us through the multiplayer mode.

That you can do better, prove Quiz games like "Buzz!" and "you do not know jack," which offer a fun, modern presentation, more scope and a fun multiplayer mode. A good TV quiz's just not automatically a good videogame. However, the two representatives referred to the genre are for more expensive and more hectic, because you have to answer the questions under time pressure. If that's not is who gets to "Millionaire: Special Editions" a classic quiz at a low price offered, no frills, but with the possibility to extend it to new questions.
