Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: 2012 Edition

About

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: 2012 Edition turns the classic TV quiz show into a party game using Xbox 360 Kinect. Players answer increasingly difficult multiple-choice questions across 15 rounds to climb the prize ladder toward a million dollars. The split-screen mode lets two players compete head-to-head, while single-player mode focuses on personal achievement. Voice recognition handles answers, adding a layer of physical interaction to the trivia challenge. The game leans heavily on the show’s recognizable structure but adds a few twists like team play and customizable avatars. While the question pool is solid, it leans heavily on general knowledge and pop culture, which might leave niche fans wanting. Metacritic scores hover around 65, reflecting its decent but not impressive execution. It works best for groups looking for a quick, competitive round of trivia with minimal setup.
