Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Today, Deep Silver launched the first digital download releases for its exciting quiz format game series Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?: Special Editions on PlayStation®3 and the Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Players will be able to bring all the excitement and atmosphere of the original TV programme to their home console, but with the added unique feature of special licensed question packs, each containing hundreds of extra questions from a specific field, such as movies, sports, or music.

As well as the main Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?: Special Editions game, featuring more than 1,200 questions covering all fields of knowledge, the first two special edition packs are also available to download now: South Park – Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Special Edition and Who Wants To Be A Movie Millionaire?

Further game packs, themed around well known characters, brands and themes will follow in the future.

In Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?: Special Editions contestants participate in the fastest finger round and then scale a mountain of questions in the quest for that elusive virtual million, making judicious use of the three classic lifelines – 50:50, Ask The Audience, and Phone-A-Friend. It’s a social experience, too: up to four friends can compete locally to outdo each other, with each person’s score dependent on their speed.

The South Park – Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Special Edition, developed in collaboration with South Park Digital Studios, is based on the Emmy® And Peabody® Award-Winning Series South Park. It offers hundreds of specific questions based on the South Park universe, set in a fully themed Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? studio and featuring an original South Park introduction.

The Millionaire set, audience - including main South Park characters - lifelines and contestants are all themed around the classic animated series. The pack also includes five player avatars, designed especially by South Park, alongside more than 600 questions taken from all 15 seasons of the show. Even the Phone-A-Friend lifeline features characters from the South Park world - but can you really trust Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo to give you the right answer?
