Worth "tossing up" $4.99?

I love to play Wheel Of Fortune, because I have this odd quirk where I can solve puzzles ridiculously early. So when I saw that the almighty iPhone had it available, I immediately forked up $5 to play it. Was it worth it? Read on to find out.

I just needed an excuse to bring this guy back.

Fuck no!

Save your cash on this one folks. Unless you’re a serious die hard fan of the wheel and just have to have some kind of fix, this isn’t even close to worth your hard earned real dollars.

The major problem? There’s no multiplayer. Yep, you read that right. No WiFi or anything. You either play a solo game, or against the computer. Yes that means there’s no local multiplayer either. This, is just inexcusable, and bit mind-boggling really.

Ok so that’s the major problem. Minors include no high score table, (it does keep you “best” score, but that’s it) and a ridiculously unfun game with computer opponents. There’s 3 difficulties, and if you pick Hard, be prepared to have your opponent go all “Joe Connors” on you and solve it with like 4 letters up. Fun!

The game does have it’s good points. There’s a nice “skip” button that speed things up like A.I. taking their turn, or the wheel spinning. There’s also some achievements, but they’re pretty lame.

Graphically, well it’s not bad I guess. But who plays WoF for graphics?

Hi Rez: Fun if you like playing with yourself and just have to have your “wheel” fix.

Low Rez: No multiplayer, just gets very boring fast.

Verdict: Get Trivial Pursuit instead.
