If your turn is ended either by: Guessing an incorrect number, landing on ‘Lose a Turn’ or ‘Bankrupt’, or solving the puzzle incorrectly, play moves onto the next player. Solving the puzzle correctly will end the round, and the person that solved the puzzle wins the money. If you spin, the wheel will land on a monetary value of which you’ll be awarded for each letter you guess during that spin that is present on the board. You do this by pressing ‘A’ to buzz in, and then punch in the letters using the keyboard provided.Ī Normal round progresses as follows, you can spin the wheel, solve the puzzle, buy a vowel if you have at least $250, or pass. Toss up puzzles involve with the puzzle slowly adding letters until a player solves it. I’m going to very quickly lay out the progress of rounds here. Hosts aside, the set that you play on is Wheel of Fortune, so as far as aesthetic it scored some major points here. What the hell happened to Pat Sajak and Vanna White? They were in the Nintendo DS version (More on that Later), I suppose they didn’t get permission for their likeness to be represented here, but honestly, I would have preferred that we didn’t have a host instead of this unsettling guy we have here.

And then the announcer introduces the….nameless….hosts? Right off the bat, it starts with the iconic ‘Wheel! Of! Fortune!” intro that hits me in the face with a wave of nostalgia of watching it with my mom or grandparents on TV, so it’s got some great things going for this version already. To keep things fair, I will play one game in each version on their normal, or medium difficulty if it offers the option to choose a difficulty. I’ll be reviewing the games based on their astetic, gameplay accuracy to the game show it is based on, and overall fun factor.

So we’ll be able to see if older versions of the games have still held up, despite their puzzles being possibly outdated. At the end of these Wheel of Fortune reviews, I will be ranking the games from best to worst.

I plan on adding more to my collection, but I thought we could start with these three for the Game Boy, Xbox One and Nintendo DS.īut that’s not all. Over the years, there have been countless Video Game versions of Wheel of Fortune, and currently I own three of them. I had several versions of the board game, from the classic 1990’s and 80’s versions found at a Thrift Store, to a Plug and Play game, and the version for the Game Boy. As a kid, I was always obssessed with America’s Game: Wheel of Fortune.
