Wheel of Fortune
Wheel of Fortune
Wheel of Fortune est un jeu de type quiz et trivia développé et publié par ShareData, Inc., sorti le 1er août 1987 sur DOS, Commodore C64/128/MAX et Apple II. Adapté du célèbre jeu télévisé américain créé par Merv Griffin, le titre propose une traduction basique du concept où le joueur devine des lettres jusqu'à pouvoir identifier une phrase. Cette version CGA comprend trois rounds classiques de Wheel of Fortune, avec des puzzles classés simplement par catégories comme « Phrase », « Titre » ou « Personne », suivis d'un round bonus, et permet de jouer contre deux adversaires contrôlés par ordinateur ou à plusieurs jusqu'à trois participants. S'agissant de l'accueil critique, Windows Central a salué une version « surprenamment complète, avec une excellente reconstitution 3D du décor du studio télévisé et un gameplay totalement authentique », tandis que certains joueurs sur Metacritic apprécient un jeu qui permet de se détendre et de s'amuser en famille ou entre amis.

« This version of Wheel of Fortune is surprisingly robust, with a great 3D recreation of the TV studio set, completely authentic gameplay that anyone should be able to play, and some fair customization options. The only drawback is the terrible online matchmaking setup. But Wheel of Fortune is plenty of fun to play solo or with local friends, so don't let the online woes keep you from spinning that wheel. »

« I love games that allow you to relax and let you have fun with friends and family, and that’s exactly what you get here. This version of Wheel of Fortune is the best version in my opinion, but it does still suffer with a few problems. Without a doubt the game is best enjoyed when playing with friends and family in local multiplayer, and thankfully the local multiplayer plays really well. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the online part of the game because it’s very difficult to get into a game and often feels broken, which is a shame. In fact the game on the whole suffers with a few technical issues and things like crashing and lag can take away from the fun factor at times. I will say however that they have done a very good job with the variety when it comes to the puzzles, and the best thing is that I’ve yet to have the same puzzle twice. I was also a big fan of the character creator in the game and you can have a lot of fun when mixing and matching the different items. I wasn’t however a fan of the camera in the game and I was surprised how bad it was at times because you can’t always see the wheel properly which is stupid. The presentation side of the game is without a doubt the best a Wheel of Fortune game has seen to date. Visually the game looks just like it does in real life, and the sound design is pretty good as well if you look past the annoying host. At the end of the day if you’re a fan of quiz and puzzle game’s then you will definitely find more than enough enjoyment here. As far as Wheel of Fortune games go it’s quite a good addition to the series, and it would have been even better if it didn’t have so many annoying problems. If you have a lot of family party’s then this game is perfect for that and it does just enough to get a thumbs up from me. »
