Name That Tune 80's Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's a cute game really, and I hate to give it a lackluster review because I'm guessing that people who aren't music junkies like me would probably have a lot of fun with it. But for people like me (and most of my friends) the actual gameplay is waaaaaaaaaaay too easy. I've played through the game 3 times since purchasing it, and only one of the games took longer than 10 minutes, and that was just because I kept getting bumped back by one of the other players.
There are lots of good questions in the deck - and the fact that they have an Expert deck helps (though the Expert deck is considerably smaller and really not that much harder), but the game board is too short, and there are too few clips on the DVD (as others have mentioned).
I have a small technical gripe about the DVD too - it's really hard to tell which category you've highlighted on the main menu. The Bid Avid round is a bit clunky as well, but it's still workable.
Also, it should be noted (for us Americans) that this game seems to have been created by folks in the UK, as a lot of the questions pertain to things that were more popular across the pond. The real give-away to this was one of the Video Trivia question answers, where it a flashlight was called a torch. (At least I'm pretty sure that's not American lingo...)
All in all, it's not awful, but if I'd been able to play it before buying, I probably would have skipped buying it.

Scene It? Deluxe Disney 2nd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're already got last year's Scene It? Disney Super Game Pack you'll find a lot of repeat questions in this new game, but if not it's a lot of fun. If you're going to spend family time in front of the TV, laughing with each other as you try to answer these trivia questions sure beats just sitting there.
Our family has the original Disney Scene It?, but we like this version a lot better. Compared to the old DVD, this package has more types of questions, more questions altogether (as it's spread out over two discs) and covers all the recent Disney films, all the way through Ratatouille. What we liked best about it, though, is that it includes Party Play. That gives you the option to skip the gameboard, have the trivia questions appear automatically one after the another and just sit back and try to out think each other. (Playing that way is unfair to younger kids, but with our 13-year-old we need all the help we can get.)
Another nice touch: the game tokens. They're antique brass versions of Ariel, Lightning McQueen, Nemo and Tinker Bell.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Scene It Deluxe Disney 2nd Edition

The popular board game that has players watching video clips and shouting out answers is now available in an upgraded Disney theme. This second edition of Screenlife’s Scene It? Disney game is chock full of questions, characters, and clips from both new and classic films from the family-friendly giant. From older films like Alice in Wonderland and The Little Mermaid to new favorites such as The Incredibles and Ratatouille, the game asks questions about unforgettable characters, songs, and scenes.

Pop the game’s DVD into your player to start the magic and mayhem. Loaded with new clips and puzzles, this updated version touches on elephants that fly to cursed pirates and all things in between. There are over 1,000 questions on the 160 trivia cards, so even if you see the same snippet from the 180 on the DVD during the same game, the question about that scene will be different. Special technology randomizes the order of the clips to ensure fresh fun each time the game is played.

The themed, interactive game board can be spread out for longer games, or folded when you don’t have a lot of time (or players). To help you move around the board there are four metal player tokens (Nemo, Ariel, Tinkerbell, and Lightning McQueen), one six-sided die to determine how many spaces to move, and one eight-sided die that determines the category to be played. Once the dice have been rolled, clips are watched, questions are asked, and it’s revealed just how much you know. Use observation, memory, wordplay, and puzzle-solving to answer various challenges about the imaginative characters, celebrated songs, and timeless storytelling you see on-screen. Categories range from Take Three and Songs to Mousellaneous and more.

Not a longtime watcher of Disney and Pixar films? Don’t worry. This game is easy enough to learn and fun enough to play even for those who are not overly familiar with the plots. The trivia cards include questions for adults with separate ones for children, and some questions can be answered simply by paying close attention to the movie clips. There are also 30 Buzz cards available to help (or occasionally hinder) your progress. If these reasons aren’t enough to tempt you into a game on your own, then co-captain the Black Pearl with a friend or family member and play a few rounds in team mode first.

A TV, DVD player, and remote control are needed but not included. The DVD includes an on-screen demonstration of game play.

What’s in the box
2 DVDs
1 Flextime game board
1 six-sided die
1 eight-sided category die
4 collectible metal player tokens
160 trivia cards

Scene It ? The Dvd Movie Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love movies and consider myself a moderate movie buff. When I heard about this game I knew I had to get my hands on it. It was sold out at all the Nordstrom and Toys R Us I visited which only increased my interest, and after a month I finally got a copy. After playing it with some friends, I still believe that it's a great idea, but this version of the idea could use some polish.
The flaws I encountered:
--The instructions are vague in some areas. We had to make a few things up as we went along.
--The rules that are explained and the board itself contain some rules which seem silly and detract from the game. The inventors of the game clearly spent most of their time obsessing over the DVD itself and less on the gameplay.
--The text on the buzz cards is silly. After reading one or two, no one bothered reading them anymore and we just looked to the end to see what the penalty or reward would be.
--The questions on the cards are too easy. My friends are moderate moviegoers, yet when we all play in a group it's rare to get one of the questions on the cards wrong. Most of the clips are from movies of the last 10 to 20 years; they could easily increase the difficulty of the game by focusing the clips and trivia questions on some older movies. It would appeal to movie buffs more and also add some cinematic educational value.
--They did not get movie clips from all the major studios. Only 20th Century Fox, Dreamworks, MGM, Columbia, and Universal granted right to clips from their movies. That leaves out the largest library, that of Warner Brothers, and also Paramount among the major studios. And independent films? Forget it.
--Some of the film clips didn't play properly. They would just flash across the screen briefly and then the question would pop up, or we'd get stuck in a loop where the same question played over and over again no matter what we did. In those cases we had to pop the DVD out and start over.
--The game will need updating soon. It appears that there are a few hundred chapters on the DVD, each being one question, and a couple hundred trivia cards with about 3 questions each. After playing it the second time, I could already tell that we'll run through all the questions really soon.
The game does have a lot of promise. The all-play questions are great when you have a huge group of people, and everyone loves watching clips from their favorite movies. The trivia card questions are moderately interesting, but the DVD trivia questions are a riot. Some of the different types of questions include naming a movie when shown a scene in which a character is digitally erased, naming a movie title when shown two pictures that each represent one word from the title, being the first to guess a movie title as letters are gradually revealed Wheel-of-Fortune style, putting a list of four movies in chronological order, and answering a trivia question after watching a movie clip. In fact, it's nearly as fun (and some might argue that's it more enjoyable) to dispense with the board and game pieces and just put the DVD on when friends are over and just answer questions.
All in all, this game will appeal most to the average moviegoer with a DVD player. For movie buffs or fairly knowledgeable moviegoers, the creators or someone else should iron out the kinks and come out with a more advanced version of this game. I'd buy that in a second.

Scene It? Deluxe Harry Potter 2nd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While many found the first edition of the Harry Potter "Scene It" game to be either frightfully boring, or far too easy, the game-makers more than make up for past short-comings with this new deluxe 2nd edition.
This edition of "Harry Potter Scene It" includes detailed questions from the first 5 books, and the first 5 movies. Yes! -- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is included in this game! It's a real treat to have the 5th movie included within the game so soon after it's release in theatres!
There are 4 game pieces to choose from (including Fawkes the Phoenix, Buckbeak the Hippogriff, the Knight Bus, and the Durmstrang Ship). Each player chooses a game piece, and away you go! If more than 4 people wish to play, I recommend either pairing off into teams, or else grab a couple game pieces from a different boardgame (such as Monopoly) and use them instead! There's room for everyone to have fun!
The game-makers did an excellent job of creating questions that range from very easy, moderately difficult, and very hard. The majority of the hard questions usually pertain to the actors in the movies, and the logistics of the making of the films (such as "How many Ford Anglias were used in the filming of 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'?" --- "Who was the first actor cast for 'Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone'?" --- "What item did Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) give to Daniel Radcliffe during their first meeting?"). During the first edition of this game, the questions were generally too easy, which is great for kids who are playing, but not as fun for adults.
The clips shown during the DVD portion of the game are a lot of fun. Sometimes the same clip will be shown more than once, but a different question will be asked each time! Most of the time the answers to the clip questions are fairly simple. At other times it's a little more challenging, especially during the mini-games played during the "all play" portion of the game (for those who are unfamiliar with the "Scene It" game format, an All Play is when a clip or game is played in which all the players are participating together, instead of in turns. The first player to shout out the answer wins the All Play round!).
Bottom line, this game is a lot of fun for Harry Potter fans of all ages, and it's a wonderful step up from the slightly disappointing 1st edition!

Categories span from Colin’s Camera (trying to determine an item before the picture is fully developed) to Hagrid’s Hut (naming one of the many magical creatures) and from Divination (identifying the character in the crystal ball) to many more.

Not an experienced wizard? Don’t worry. This game is easy enough to learn and fun enough to play even for those who are not overly familiar with the Harry Potter plots. Some questions can be answered simply by paying close attention to the movie clips, while others are about an actor’s work outside of these movies. There are also 30 House Points cards available to help (or occasionally hinder) your progress. If these reasons aren’t enough to tempt you into a game on your own, then hop on the Hogwarts Express with a friend or family member and play a few rounds in team mode first.

The Price is Right Game; 1998 Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"The Price is Right" has lasted for nearly 30 years on CBS because it's fun to watch other people win stuff. Especially when they act foolish doing it. You lose that part of the game when you play at home. You also get the anti-climactic finish of not actually winning anything. But, it's a nice diversion from time to time. For the game show home game collector, this is a must. For the rest of you... probably not.

Marvel Heroes DVD Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was disappointed with this DVD game. The computer graphics used in it were nice, but the content was dull.
It's comprised of 7 or so mini games. Some examples are :
- a Memory-style card matching game. This was okay.
- a simple Maze game in which you must navigate your way by making 2 decisions. This was too simplistic
- a Scene It style game of remembering details from a 1990's era Marvel cartoon. The cartoons were dull as were the questions.
- a trivia game (my favorite part since it used obscure questions in the hard level)
- a roof top jumping game. This was poorly executed. You're given a 1st person view of jumping off the roof (Is this such a good idea?). And then you must press a button at the right time without much of a visual cue.
As rewards for finishing a mini game, you are given a short animation clip of villains getting jailed. The animation is 3D but all the characters are 2D clip art. So you will see your favorite characters shrinking, growing, or rotating.
There is no educational aspect of this game besides trivia of Marvel superheroes.
The board game aspect seemed to be thrown in to make it more valuable. Basically, you roll a die to move around a board. When your cardboard character reaches a square, you play that mini game on the TV.
One nice aspect was the implementation of 3 difficulty levels to let people of different ages play. The DVD also keeps score.
But if you really wanted to see a fun use of Marvel characters, buy the video game Marvel Ultimate Alliance instead. You could play that for dozens of more hours.

Look! Up on your TV screen! It’s a DVD. It’s a game. It’s Marvel Super Heroes! From the folks at Brighter Minds comes a game about classic superheroes and villains--specifically aimed at the younger crowd of 6 to 12 year olds. If you have an older child already familiar with these characters and if they have a younger sibling who has never heard of even one, they will both be able to play and learn with this DVD game.

Dr. Doom has let 25 nefarious villains escape from behind bars. It’s up to players--using the Wolverine, Storm, Captain America, and Spider-Man movers--to capture these bad guys again. Snaring a villain is done through rolling the die, moving that number of spaces on the game board, and then seeing which of the seven "mini-games" you’ll be trying to beat. These games come on the included DVD with you controlling the action via remote control, and challenges range from being the first to identify a slowly appearing villain and a game of memory to answering trivia questions and correctly lining up body parts of superheroes.

The game’s graphics are beautifully detailed--from the bad guy cards and the sturdy game board to the DVD’s content. Clips from Marvel animated television shows like X-Men and Spider-Man, hours of brand new animation, and more than 300 facts and trivia questions keep this game entertaining for more than just a few rounds. Allowing fans of these classic characters to save the city and become heroes themselves is just an added bonus.

Probably the greatest thing about this game, though, is its versatility. While it includes four player pieces, you can play alone, with up to four individual players, or with teams. You can also choose to not use the game board by following what Brighter Minds calls the "In the Car" instructions. (As this implies, this game can be used on portable or in-car DVD players as well, making it a great traveling game or time-filler in between errand stops.) There are also three different skill levels--sidekick, hero, and superhero--that allow kids who may not be as familiar with the characters to play at an easier level, while someone with more knowledge can participate in the same game at a harder level, evening the playing field some. Lastly, you can choose to play a short or long version of the game by determining at the beginning of the game how many villains a player needs to capture in order claim victory.

What’s in the Box
Game board
Game DVD
25 villain cards (with character facts)
4 movers
1 die
Instructions
A DVD player, TV, and remote control are required, but not included.

FISHER-PRICE Games The Lion Sleeps Tonight Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My kids (ages 3 and 1) like this game (of course, the one-year old just likes to bop to the music!), but I found it lacking a bit. First of all, I was expecting to be able to hear the whole song, lyrics and all, once I got it out of the "try me" mode. But even after pulling out the demo tab, it still only plays the "introduction" to the song over and over. It is instrumental only; no singing. Secondly, when the lion wakes up and "roars", the first sound he makes sounds more like a burp than a roar to me. Then he roars--or should I say "yawns"--a sleepy-sounding roar. It is not the least bit scary (not to my kids, anyway), and it isn't very loud either (which is probably a good thing!). The game itself is pretty simple: take turns rolling the number cube, and either go to that color square on the board, or use the number and count ahead that many spaces. Go to the next bush space if you roll the bush picture. When the lion "roars", move your playing piece back to the closest bush behind you. (If you're already on one, you stay put.) Then re-set the lions head to sleeping position, push the "snooze" button to start the music, and begin taking turns again. The first one to the picnic wins the game. I think it might be more fun if when the lion roars, you have to go back to the bush that's the same color as your playing piece (only stay put if you happen to already be on the right color of bush). This would make the game last a little longer, but would mean some players would have to go back a lot more than just a space or two when the lion roars. Could be more fun that way...just an idea. Overall, I think the idea of this game is really cute, it just lacks something in the "fun" factor. (By comparison, my kids got "Don't Wake Daddy" last Christmas and LOVED it! The idea is actually similar to this game, but it has the "fun" factor that this game is lacking.)

Can you help the animal friends get to the picnic without being caught by the lion' This fun game incorporates the popular music from the song, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" into a game that keeps kids laughing as they try not to wake the lion.
Join four animal friends as they try to make it through the jungle to the animal picnic. Sounds easy, but there is a sleeping lion between the start and finish, and if he wakes up, it sends everyone scurrying back to the nearest bush to hide until the lion goes back to sleep.

Disney Princess DVD Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My five year old daughter had this high on her list and was tremendously excited to get it. The cost of the game is inflated by the unneccessary remote control included (and which you have to take time to set up) but it functioned well. So did the game which has cute questions that range enough in difficulty to even engage adults. However, on successive plays we noted that the questions on the dvd come up in the same order, starting from the beginning each time. There is no shuffle or randomization of the questions. (In Scene It, for example, you encounter some of this sometime, but not to this degree). So each time you play, question one through whatever will be the same and in the same order.
There is no telling how many questions are on the disk (nothing reports that) but since it could be thousands, would it have been too much to ask Disney to build in a way to view different questions? The only option you have is to play each and skip each of the 20 -30 questions you went through in the game you played the first time and then use quesitons 30 - 50. Then the next game you could take another 20 minutes to individually forward through the first 50 questions to get a new set. (Imagine playing solitare and having the same set of cards come up in the same order each time. Quickly boring.
I plan on tryting to return the set, though my daughter is engaged by its beauty and the princess clips and questions (however, even she found the problem exasperating). You struck out on this one, Disney, even though you had it all going for you to start. Sad.

Bingo America DVD Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this game from the Game Show Network (GSN) gift store. I haven't seen it anywhere else. It's based on the GSN show which is currently not seen on the air. It's pretty similar to the TV show. A ball is shown with a letter and number (like B 11) before each question. When the question is asked, you have a few seconds to call out the answer before it's shown on the screen. I don't remember if you have to "buzz in" before answering in this game. On the TV show you have to. If you answered first and correctly, you get to mark that ball on your Bingo card if you have it. You keep going till you've gotten five numbers in a row on your card, across, up & down or diagonally. The center square is a free space, like most bingo games. When you do, you hit the appropriate button and the game congratulates you on your win.
You then play a bonus round where you try to match two of any prize shown. Whatever prize you match up is what you win. I believe the number on the ball is the point value you get for each question you answer, but I'm not positive. The game can run a while, since there's a maximum of 75 balls and your card has only 24 of them plus the free space. You can play solo or against someone. The host is just a voice, you see nobody but there's lots of flashing numbers and balls. I don't believe I heard any repeat questions the few times I've played the game.
A nice bingo game with a twist by adding questions you have to answer to get credit for the balls on your card. If you've seen this show on GSN with Patrick Duffy as host, the bonus round resembles that version. A bit pricy ($20 to $25) but a fun game.

Scene It? Disney Edition DVD Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great game! While most of the questions are incredibly easy (this is a game to play with kids after all), Disney fans will find it immensely satisfying. The game uses trivia cards (very similar to trivial pursuit) and dvd questions and clips. This is a great way to get reluctant friends and family interested in going to a Disney resort, since even people who don't think they know much about Disney can compete, and sometimes even win! My boyfriend and I got it to curb our Disney cravings, but now I plan to get it for my brother's family as well.
