And now it's time for a one-shot.
This one is developed by Rare, and this one is pretty good. You can share the controller and play with up to three players, and if you play with computer-controlled opponents, you can choose from one of three skill levels from easy to hard. After everyone enters their name (up to nine characters), it's time to play.
From here, you can spin the wheel, watch what the wheel lands on, and get money for each letter you uncover on the board. You can buy a vowel for $250 (regardless of whether it is in the puzzle or not), and you can also solve the puzzle at any time. Just remember you have a limited amount of time to solve the puzzle. Also, if vowels are the only letters left to be uncovered in the puzzle, the game will let you know.
When you spin the wheel, there is a strength meter that goes back and forth, and the more of it that is filled pink, the stronger your spin will be. Press A or B to stop the strength meter, and hope you don't land on Bankrupt or Miss Turn.
From there, you can choose a letter. Choose between the letters with the Control Pad and press A to make your selection. You only have a few seconds, so pick quickly. If you guess right, you'll get the dollar amount on the wheel that you landed on for each time the letter appears in the puzzle. If you guess wrong, the game goes to the next person.
You can also get a free spin, and in case you guess a wrong letter, go bankrupt or miss a turn, you can use it to spin again. You'll have to earn it first, though.
There are a lot of puzzles in the game, and they are all randomly generated out of a list. You may get some twice, but not often.
There are three rounds to a game. Player 1 starts the first round, Player 2 starts the second and Player 3 starts the third, which is a speed-up round. In the speed-up round, the round is spun, and all letters are worth whatever the wheel lands on. When someone guesses a correct letter, they have a chance to solve the puzzle. People can keep guessing letters until someone is able to solve the puzzle and win the round. After the speed-up round, whoever has the most money will go on to the final round. The winner picks from a selection of prizes, then guesses a rather difficult puzzle. If the solution is guessed correctly, the player wins the prize that was selected; otherwise, they win nothing. After that, the game ends.
Is this one worth it? Well, you will have some pretty good computer-controlled opponents to play against, the music and sounds are alright, and the gameplay is perfect for what it is. Of course, you can definitely have a good time with friends for a little while with this one. If you see this one, pick it up. You won't be disappointed.
