It is hard to believe that we’ve seen classic game shows really start to dominate for the Nintendo Wii. Recently, classic shows like The Price Is Right, and nocturnal favorites like Deal Or No Deal and Jeff Foxworthy delivering his wit and Redneck humor with Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? make their way to the P.C., as Deal or No Deal is set to make its way to the Wii. But, with longevity in game shows as video sports meeting, no creator has done it better than the late splendid Merv Griffin. It has been over a year since Griffin had passed away, but his quirky quiz shows, Jeopardy! and Wheel Of Fortune have not only dominated on box, but as computer sports meeting have been the cornerstone of quiz show success for systems everywhere. But, Griffin’s last game show creation has finally made it to the Wii. But, is this a excellent buy, or just something that misses the mark in price and regard.
Merv Griffin’s Crosswords, the final game show that Griffin developed is finally available for the Nintendo Wii. The show which sadly was cancelled last year due to poor ratings, is given a second chance as a video game. The game features ex-soap actor and former host Ty Treadyway, as he hosts the game show that tests you mind that is loosely based on everyday crossword puzzles. There are over 1,000 differnt questions that test your mind, from the show. The question range from simple to hard by ironically as days of the week: Monday for simple, tuesday for intermediate, and Sunday for Advanced. The graphics look unadorned, but the gameplay can be very challenging at times. There aren’t many modes to play here, but basic modes like timed play, free play, and getaways mode, which is like unlocking places around the world, but lacks the feeling of play. While you can play against others at home, I was really hoping there would be a bit more challenge with battling against others online, but that is just wishful thinking. While the price of the game is also inexpensive, the mental challenge for solo play can be addictive at first, but lacks the feeling of enjoyment later on in fun, while the control is just unadorned click and play.
All in all, I was really hoping that there could’ve been more to breathe life into Merv Griffin’s Crosswords for the Nintendo Wii. But, it is fascinating to see Merv’s last show that could’ve been splendid, if it was paired up in the block that Jeopardy! & Wheel Of Fortune have delivered well on box today. If you were a die hard fan of the show, or are just a hard core fan of crossword puzzles, than this would be a splendid buy for $20 for your Wii library.

Really wanted Wheel of fortune but read that this game is simaliar to it and they don’t make Wheel of fortune for the Wii yet. This game was so hard, and if you in fact know the answers you can gain a bunch of cash, but once you can’t answer one, somebody else can take your spot with your cash. We did change that in the options but the questions were still hard. While my husband played the game, I tried to rush and find the answers online. Ya we cheated but wow, we had it set on simple and still couldn’t figure out the answers.

This is a pretty excellent game. It is for intellectual stimulation for sure. You have to reflect quick and use your vocabulary. We really loved playing it in teams.

I don’t know what, if any, the previous reviewer, Michael, stake has in this game but I too loved the tv version of this game. The game would be splendid if it weren’t for the stupid wiimote. Now, I am a huge fan of the wiimote for most other sports meeting but for this one the wiimote is ill-designed. You have to use the wiimote to “type” in your answers and the wiimote is sooo jiggly (used the regular one AND the motion sensitive one) that when you go to type in your letter…it will easily jump to another letter, thus deeming your answer incorrect! I played 3 sports meeting trying to master a way to get the wiimote to be more stable (I braced it on my leg, set it down on a table…etc…) to no avail. This would be a splendid game if only they could come up with a more stabilizing way to penetrate your letters using the wiimote. Because of this frustrating factor (because once you penetrate a letter there is NO way to endorsement and delete it..not that I have found anyway)…I am taking this game BACK. Rent it first folks to see what I mean.
