So, released just yesterday, there is a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game from Capcom now available in the iTunes Store for iPhone and iPod touch at a meager $4.99. I just downloaded it, and let me say that it is VERY, VERY well done. All the new lifelines, rules (category menu), graphics, sounds and music are included. Ten different experts, taken from the real show, are available during the game. (I'm playing with Jeff Gross right now!) I'm impressed with how well done this is. Definitely worth your five dollars.

(And wait until you Phone-a-Friend. It's a trip.)

Hey, thanks for the heads-up on this, Chad! 15QA and LastMinuteRequest have both helped me win a million fake dollars since I picked it up. Not to mention my brother and a guy I work with.....sort of.

Glad I could help you guys. It was a lot of fun to participate in this.

Although I know all of the second and third tier questions, I'm going to buy it anyway.

Oh, wow. So the expertise is ACTUALLY what the assigned Expert thinks? That makes it even cooler.

I figured it was really real-ish when one of the experts (it might even have been Jeff) answered with actual question data in his response ("I think he did (answer B) and (Answer D), but I'm no t sure of the others." If it was just a random thing there wouldn't have been any specifics in his response.

That and the fact that Pat Kiernan has the same limitations as he did when appearing on the show.

This was important to know, BTW, since I knew I could trust Jeff and Ogi (and one or two others), when playing as if I was playing for real. Yeah, like that'll ever happen.

Oh, yeah, definitely. It makes me rest a bit easier when I get either one of those two. Just another touch of realism for the game. My only issue, I'm discovering, is that the categories will often repeat in the menu, so I could end up with two or three "Reality TV" questions in a 15-question stack.
