Resolution's Jen Allen writes: It's difficult to know what to say about Wheel of Fortune. It’s Wheel of Fortune after all, the game with Nicky wotsit or John Leslie (depending on when you watched it) where contestants have to attempt to solve simple word based puzzles via spinning a wheel. It’s a fun distraction on the TV if you’ve got a spare five minutes and nothing better to do, but that’s about it really. It’s not a classic, it’s just always there. Wheel of Fortune on the Wii is a bit like this – it’s nothing amazing by any means but if you’re in need of a casual family game over Christmas, it serves the purpose and at a rather low price too.
PP: Wheel of Fortune comes with over 4000 unique word puzzles, so should you be stuck indoors long enough, you might actually make it through all of them across the variety of game modes, like Classic Mode, Quick Mode, and Family Mode.

But the launch was region restricted and saw a huge swathe of players unable to enjoy the fun that the games could bring. Here and now though, in 2020 we finally see both games rock up in the UK. And if you're after some family friendly fun to drag you through the tough times, these are it."
