It’s simply a quick trivia question that usually takes 10-15 seconds to complete. Wheel of Fortune includes a mini-game in between each round of the game, but in this case they work. Many times the inclusion of extra mini-games doesn’t really fit the experience of the main game. Like I said, it’s sort of silly, but it really adds to the immersion of being on Wheel of Fortune. The wheel actually feels like it has the appropriate weight to it and it sounds just like it does on the TV show. They’ve included everything that you would expect to find, even going so far as to animating some of the spaces on the wheel with flashing lights and graphics. It’s silly to say, but I’m extremely impressed with the wheel, which could almost be considered the star of the show. Much like Jeopardy, everything about this feels like it’s straight from the game show. You just need to pick the correct letters to fill in the blanks. For anyone with the Wii Speak peripheral you can use that as well. Choosing letters is as simple as pointing at the screen and picking the letter you want. Swing the remote to the left when the meter reaches the power level you want. If you spin the wheel a quick press of the B button will bring up a power meter. When it’s your turn you can choose to spin the wheel, buy a vowel or solve the puzzle. There are more than 8,000 puzzles available in the game so it should take a long time before you run into duplicates. Millions of people have tuned in to solve the puzzles along with the contestants. Wheel of Fortune has been the longest running prime time game show, along with Jeopardy for a very long time. The person with the most money at the end of the game wins and gets to go on to a bonus round where they try to solve a puzzle for insane amounts of money, trips or new cars.

You can buy vowels for a set dollar amount. After each spin correctly guessing a letter will give you that amount of money for each letter revealed. Three players take turn spinning a large wheel with varying money values and prizes. You’re basically playing a game of Hangman for money.

If you’ve never heard about Wheel of Fortune then here’s what you need to know about the game. It’s also appeared on nearly every platform in existence since the days of the NES. Wheel of Fortune has been around for decades and there are not many people in the world that don’t know about the popular game show.
