Wheel of Fortune
FMV HangmanGenre: puzzle - game show
Publisher: Sony Imagesoft
Year: 1994
System: Sega CD
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Sooooo slow. Spinning the wheel after each turn is painful. This is the slowest game of Hangman ever. The UI is improved over the SNES and Genesis version. Letters are on two rows, making them easier to find. It's a slow experience, but I actually enjoyed it more than other 16-bit game shows.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Yeah, you know what you're getting here. I couldn't figure out how to play against computers, so that was weird. But the puzzles all made sense which I appreciated. The words and phrases haven't aged as much as those in Jeopardy.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
Hangman. I've never liked this game show. The authentic sounds and Vanna White announcing constantly made it a little more fun.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
FMV animations of Vanna get old after a while but look good for this era.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Vast improvement over the SNES and Genesis versions. There's no music during play but the voices and sound effects are spot on.
Overall Score: 54
