This insatiable quest for realism is even bleeding over into simple games like "Wheel of Fortune," where your game is interrupted every other second by computer contestants spouting stupid platitudes, or by Vanna White appearing to grin at you and show off her necklace, which looks like a belt buckle on a chain.
And what the heck is Vanna White doing *hosting* the show? Where is Pat Sajak? Vanna sounds like she's reading from a book titled, "Things Pat Sajak Might Say," and her inflection gives us a clue as to why her acting career didn't take off.
The game play is tried and true, but it does seem like you spin more bankrupts and lose-a-turns than the computer players do. I was also infuriated by the way the computer players constantly buy vowels as soon as they have the money -just like the real show!
Thankfully you can play with one or two players and no computer contestants... a *very* smart move from Atari.
The graphics are fine, nothing too flashy. I like how the camera is constantly zooming in and pulling back on the wheel or the board. The sound is adequate and, as previously noted, annoying.
Some of the other options included are useless. I tried to take the "contestant exam," and after a 30-second load time, I was presented with a puzzle. I solved it and was told I had gotten 1 of 16 correct; then I had to wait through another 30-second load time before puzzle No. 2 came up. Intolerable!
I also noticed no differences between the "quick play" and the "normal game," except the fact that my name was "Player 1" instead of "Dennis."
Overall, if you're a "Wheel" fan, you'll like this version. Believe it or not, I had a version of this game in the 1980s on a floppy disc that played better than this one -but as I've said before, simpler most of the time is better.

This is the first "Wheel of Fortune" game released on Playstation 2 and I believe this and "Jeopardy!" are the first two games released on Playstation 2 in 2004. I play it for a lot of times and I never feel that "I want to give up". Clearly, this is a perfect game with a real experience and some challenging puzzles. Also, it includes true audience sound effect for each letter that you guess. In addition, the graphics are perfect. So, this is a perfect game and absolutely recommended.Honest reviews on Wheel of Fortune - PlayStation 2
