Bug rich environment – Wheel of Fortune: Show Puzzles Review

First, don’t expect a simulation of the TV show, this app had 3 sections, multiplayer, head-to-head and tourney. It’s complicated but there are stars, tickets, letters and diamonds earned for different aspects of the games. There are also clubs which you can join which have club goals. Its just a lot of nonsense. There are no rankings or any other info for other clubs. There is a path of advancement in the main game that awards folks advancement from city to city but advancement requires money won in the main game and souvenir boxes won in the bonus round. Each city has special character frames. Certain holidays and special events also have frames. These special events, usually every holiday and most weekends are the main reason for my review. This game tries to be a lot of things already but in trying to facilitate these special events every weekend, more often than not, some aspect of all these convoluted ways to win and use diamonds, in-game cash, letter and souvenir boxes or club rewards get broken by the programming for the special events. I feel bad for the programmers because of all the stuff this app tries to do they must be mindful of, but there are just too many bugs. All the time bugs. I enjoy the TV game show, but this isn’t representative of that. Just a buggy, convoluted use of an IP to get folks to spend real $ of microtransactions. Bottom-line: when the game works it can be somewhat fun and helps keep your vocabulary sharp, but this fun is usually spoiled by by bugs.
