Game Review: Ok, up front, let’s get the whole “malfunctioning DVD” thing out in the open. Maybe it’s just our dvd player, but it seems to be almost a given that with any of the seemingly endless line of new DVD games, at some point in the game, your dvd player is going to freeze up or malfunction in some other irritating way, and you will lose your game and be forced to shut it down and start over. It’s incredibly frustrating and makes you never want to play the game again, but let’s put that aside for now and assume this game is playing correctly on your dvd player (it didn’t on ours, but we got to see enough to make a reasonable review). The game itself is BORING. The questions are outrageously too easy for the adults, and at least for my kids, too difficult, even though they are supposedly divided up into things kids would know, and then things adults would know. I think the main difficulty with this game is that if you keep answering questions correctly, you just keep going, and because the questions were so easy, we adults pretty much “ran the board” and before the kids knew it, they were out of golden jellybeans and the game was over. In addition, the whole game is run by the remote control — have your kids ever even USED a dvd remote before? It can be fairly confusing, and given the level of difficulty of the questions in this game (or lack thereof), I can only recommend this game for younger children (and adults who are willing to answer questions incorrectly on purpose to give the kids a fighting chance), and I really don’t see them being able to operate the remote. On the timed questions, this could be a problem. I don’t even want to think about how the kids on a given “team” might fight over the remote. Hoo-boy. Don’t waste your ten bucks on this game; it’s boring and frustrating.
