Video Hangman based on the classic word guessing game Hangman. It features full motion video and high score leaderboards. The goal of the Video Hangman is to guess a randomly selected word by choosing letters that might be in it. If the player chooses a letter that is in the word, all occurrences of that letter are revealed to the player. Otherwise a line is drawn in the hangman diagram. The player must guess all of the letters in the word before the hangman diagram is complete. Points are awarded based on how many wrong letters were chosen.
There are two difficulty levels, the only difference being the number of wrong guesses allowed. Play continues until the player fail to complete a word.
