I am a massive sucker for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire with it being one of my favourite game shows of all time and so I'm happily content to check out some of these games no matter how mediocre some of them can be and this 2020 offering from around when Jeremy Clarkson was making himself comfortable in the hotseat after he punched some guy in the face and got booted off of Top Gear a while back is exactly that. The best kind of mediocre that I can happily put on for a few minutes and put back down again.

It's Millionaire as Millionaire can get and they've managed to get the whole formula down to a tee with tons of questions from all sorts of categories. One thing that's pretty cool as well is the fact that after each game you can also unlock some actual quiz packs which is a neat little touch.

The presentation though is what really drags this down. The game itself isn't going to be known as a looker (might be nitpicky but also all versions are based on the French studio set for whatever reason) and the voice acting is bloody terrible. The constant dialogue from the contestants and the boring monotone clearly not Jeremy Clarkson or even Chris Tarrant host will have you instantly reaching for the Off volume in mere seconds.

It's obviously not a great game but as a game show loving aficionado it's somewhat harmless enough and at least doesn't reach Family Fortunes or Golden Balls levels of pure shit.

Quién Quiere Ser Millonario (2020): Es un concurso obsoleto, y el juego ni se esfuerza en disimularlo. Hace lo necesario para que funcione, que es poner 4 muñecos y un par de packs de preguntas, y listo. Vaga adaptación al videojuego de un concurso ya de por sí aburrido (2,40)

Game tried to tell me that Big Bird originated from The Muppets and not Sesame Street and then tried to tell me that Muhammad Ali's name before he converted was Evander Holyfield and not Cassius Clay. I am not dumb enough to get the million.

I never thought someone could have less of a will to live than me until I heard this host's voice
