Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? DVD Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those familiar with the fun TV quiz show, this game is very similar. The DVD can be played on your TV or computer. Adults can play with kids (not necessarily 5th graders), kids can play with kids, and even adults can play with other adults, to see who is "smarter." The questions in math, science, English, social studies, etc., are taken directly from the 5th grade through 1st grade curriculums, some of them more challenging than you might expect. Of course, the reason that adults sometimes fare so poorly against ten-year-olds is because much of what kids are learning in school is never used and therefore forgotten.
I have a couple of small complaints. First, there are only 20 complete games, and each game takes about 15 minutes to play, which means that total play time is only about 5 hours. Perhaps I am spoiled by video games which can take hundreds of hours to complete! On the other hand, 20 games for $20 works out to a reasonable one dollar per game. Second, there are only 10 questions per player per game. The total number of questions, including the million dollar bonus questions, is 420. This time I am spoiled by other knowledge-based games with more than a thousand total questions, usually with the option to purchase more. Third, the questions for each game always repeat in the same order, so if a player gets halfway through and then drops out, he must answer the same questions again before getting the chance to answer the remainder of the questions for that game. I suppose this is not necessarily a fault, because it reinforces knowledge retention, but it can get a bit boring for players who drop out multiple times.
All in all it's a good, fun, educational game. I just wish there was more of it!
