Exploring Games: ROBLOX Wheel of Fortune!




Lights! Camera! Wheel of Fortune! Welcome all readers, this is your host, Jurok! Today, we, or should I say I, am going to review Alexnewtron's ROBLOX Wheel of Fortune game! So, without further ado, let's get started!


This game is what you'd think it would be -- Wheel of Fortune, but on ROBLOX! You first join a random party (soon, there is a planned way to set up and join specific games), and then the game starts! There are two kinds of rounds:
- There's one where it fills in the letters for you, one by one, and the first player to hit their buzzer gets the chance to answer. 
- There's also one where each person spins the wheel, and then picks a letter. If it's a consonant, it's free, but if it's a vowel, you have to buy it with your current winnings.

After all of those rounds are done, the person with the most winnings gets to spin the bonus wheel, and from there, you solve one more puzzle, for a chance to win a BIG prize!

Okay, so that's the game in a nutshell. It's pretty simple, but it takes longer to play then explain. Let's get to the rating!

Pros:
- With a combination of music, sounds and camera effects, it really makes the game feel like a real game of WoF.
- You can use advertisements to advertise your place, group, or pretty much anything! (It has to be approved, though.)
- There's global leaderboards (that are updated every month) so you can easily compete against others!
- Stats save, so you can leave and come back at any time!

Cons:
- Waiting for players can get pretty boring in small servers.
- Long pauses in the cutscenes in between where ejob talks.

Concept: 9/10 (You don't see many working WoF games on ROBLOX, surprisingly!)
Building: 10/10 (There isn't much to build, but the buildings that are there are simplistic and well-built.)
Scripting: 10/10 (No flaws found in the game, as of right now!)

Final Rating: 9/10
This game is great, and well-made! Good job, Alex!
Now go, and win!
