This game is not to be confused with the PSN release of Wheel of Fortune. It's a sequel to the Wii game. They really should have titled this Wheel of Fortune 2. Some people may think it's just the Wii game in a shinier coat of paint. They would be wrong. There are apparently 2,000 brand new puzzles, some may be from the Wii game I am not sure. One of the cool things about the Wii game was you could go to different looking sets to play, such as Hawaii, New York, Washington D.C., etc. if you won them in the bonus round. On top of all of those, there are 5 new sets: The Great Outdooors (looks like a log cabin), Cruise Week (looks like a cruise ship), New Orleans, Halloween (some may find the slight wailing of ghosts and howling of werewolves scary, not sure), and Happy Holidays. Now you can also purchase these sets if you've won a certain amount of money, which is a great addition and speeds up the unlocking considerably.
The biggest addition to this game though is online play! In fact, you can even have another person locally play online with you on the same system, so you're guaranteed a 3 player match! You need 2 controllers to do this, no controller passing. I thought this was a great feature. The online runs fine, with slight button press lag. I did run into an odd glitch though were someone apparently picked a vowel and Pat Sajak said there were 2 of them. However they were not put on the board because in reality it was not true. Strange, but not game breaking. However my wife and I ran into a jerk who didn't even try to play the game and instead used his gestures to assure us he was there, but not playing. Thankfully, the game this time has a timer implemented into everything just for such an occasion.
The presentation is much better than the last game. Characters look a bit more realistic, but still cartoony. For the first time Jim Thornton lends his voice to the experience. Pat Sajak and Vanna White's dialogue are mostly recycled from the last game. Pat and Jim will make a remark about the set if you let the intro to a match play out. The animations are improved and some of the presentation looks as if you were watching the show. There is some screen tearing, but nothing too horrible. It mostly happens between rounds.
Some descriptions of this game would have you believe there is a new mini game compared to the Wii game. This is actually not true. Every mini game from the Wii game returns but this time playing them doesn't unlock anything. You can purchase these items with money you've won after a full game if you choose. You can also purchase set props, videos (these seem to just be cartoony Wheel of Fortune openings), etc. I think this is a much better way to unlock things as it's much faster.
Since there are no avatars or Miis or the PS3, you have to use a contestant editor that's similar to the Nintendo DS version. Don't go expecting serious customization options, but they're good enough. Overall if you enjoy Wheel of Fortune at all I highly recommend this game to you. Especially if you enjoyed the Wii or DS game. Hope to see some of you online! Feel free to ask me anything in the comments and I'll answer.
EDIT: Since playing the game further I have run into a couple more glitches. One is the game at times freezes up while trying to find an online connection with someone else. The other is the very beginning of the intro to each game is a black screen but then gameplay resumes.

Really like to be able to change players and really guess. Wish ther was some way to not have to type answers in, seems tedious.I like that you can customize the characters, but I wish there were more options because then it would seem more personal.Read Best Reviews of Wheel of Fortune PS3 Here
