Wheel of Fortune was right there for Sony to hit out of the park. After all, half the work was already done for them. All they had to do was translate one of the world’s most time-tested gameplay formulas to a different platform without screwing anything up, the way that EA did with Scrabble.
Well, Wheel is no home run. Maybe a ground-rule double?
First, wouldn’t you expect there to be a multi-player mode for a game that since its creation almost forty years ago has been based on competition? What’s the joy of nailing an impossible puzzle with just one or two letters if you can’t make your friends look like dummies at the same time? We have the technology! Give us a wi-fi two-player mode – especially if you’re going to slap a $5 price tag on it.
Truth be told, that’s just about my only issue with this game. The graphics are suitable for a game of this nature, the sound effects are pretty close to what you hear on the show, and the interface is easy to work with. Plus, it’s got Wheel’s grandma-approved hangman blueprint.
You’re almost there, just let me play against my friends.
Get Wheel of Fortune.
