Sounds like 8 out of 10 cats, but not funny.

The screenshots alone told me this one was probably best avoided! \o/

I have the board game version of this game and it's really fun. It's not meant to be a really hard core trivia game and is more of a party game. Get that instead. I can see why it won't translate well to a videogame. Also, the not bidding over the real answer rule is quite similar to the American price guessing game the Price is Right. That's why it doesn't seem so arbitrary to me.

I'm curious why a game like this doesn't appear to support the Big Button controllers recently packaged with "Scene It?"

Why did they literally give the controllers away for nothing if there's never going to be another game that utilises them ?

It actually does work with the Scene It controllers. I decided not to mention this in the review because...OH LOOK OVER THERE, IT'S A MEERKAT. LOOK EVERYONE! LOOK!

"Questions based on the member states of the EU, the official UK employment figures or the formation of OPEC are simply too dry and boring to gel with a ker-azy casual game in which you can waggle your in-game arms for no apparent reason."

Firstly, that made me laugh out loud. Second, shouldn't this have been a Wii release? What better way to waggle your in-game arms for no apparent reason than with a WiiMote? (And everybody else in the industry seems convinced that that's all it takes to amuse a Wii owner anyway.)

All the evidence points to that being true.

"What a shite game. One day they'll release something SOOO shite, nobody will even bother to comment."

Catch 22 there. The worse the game, the more amusing the review, typically. Either way: comments.

You know, the mechanics sound interesting for a trivia game. I don't think trying to estimate median income is purely "guessing", but shame on them for leaving out the timeframe.

To me this sounds slightly better than a 4, but not by a whole lot...
