Scene It? Box Office Smash

Post by GreyWizzard »

I got this last night... It's okay, doesn't feel as exciting as the first one though. Maybe because it has a very been there done that feel.

The use of Avatars is pretty cool. It's the first chance to really see them animated. They are dancing and laughing and having fun. Also, they are used in the opening cinematic which was pretty cool.

They have ditched the smarmy anouncer though, so that is nice. He was just a general prick in the first game. if you are losing he is just picking on you constantly and it isn't fun or rewarding. They have the two announcers now, and they are the "trailer guys"... they do good enough voices to sound like the trailer guys. But they really don't seem to talk all that often and you are kind of left wondering what is going on. No real feedback, you never really feel rewarded for doing good. Even the announcer in Trivial Pursuit is more active. You don't need to be there every step of the way, just say something now and then.

At a discount price I guess it is a good party game, but... yeah it needs to break away from the movie formula and branch out as a trivia game for the 360. Something to take on Buzz!

I think I paid like $30 for the first one with the buzzers. $60 isn't bad value normally, but hard to pick that up after getting such a sweet deal initially.

bought it a few months back, the game if definately a improvement on the 1st one, achievements are fairly easy to get as well.

Only problem with it like all these trivia games is the questions repeat themselves way too much still, they released a trivia pack a little while back on live which does freshen the game up though.
Uncharted 4 GOTY 2015 (unless it's broken like MCC)
