4.8? Wow, this may not be as good as the regular Who Wants To Be A Millionaire but 4.8? Come on, this is fun. The idea is basically Who Wants To Be A Millionaire times ten, which equals a cash prize of $10,000,000. Yes, $10,000,000. That is a lot. Unfortunately, nobody has ever won that prize but a couple of people have gotten close. One man won $1,000,000. A couple people won $500,000.

Here is the basis. It is pretty much like regular Millionaire, only with more money. You start with $1000, not $100, and go up until you reach $5,000. You then go up to $100,000, where you get two more new lifelines. Double Dip, where you can take two chances on a question, and the Wise Men, where you get help from three smart people. Regis Philbin luckily hosts this. I wish there were more episodes, this was fun, but if you really want entertainment, go to regular Millionaire. Anyway, this is a fun but flawed game-show.

Recommended Titles: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Where the original edition of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" offered a top prize of $1 million US, "Who Wants To Be A Super Millionaire" multiplied the grand prize ten-fold. Contestants who correctly answered 15 random general knowledge questions of increasing difficulty could now win $10 million. Of course, the questions were much more difficult, but there was a twist - contestants who successfully answered the first ten questions correctly were given two new "lifelines" to help them out. In addition to the classic "Phone a Friend", "Ask the Audience" and "50:50" lifelines, contestants could ask a panel of "Three Wise Men" (in some cases, women) for their advice, and "Double Dip" into a question, getting a second chance to answer a question they got wrong (however, "Double Dip" required a contestant to commit to answering the question). (Possible Spoiler) The most money given away on the show to date was $1 million US on the second episode in February 2004.
