Scene It Box Office.....Movies That Aren't Up To Date!
The gameplay it pretty simply. You choose a game mode long, short or custom. Online or off, with or without friends. And then it goes through rounds in which there are various games where the player(s) usually have to answer things correctly, solve a puzzle, say whats missing, fill in the blank...etc. All having to do with movies. Its pretty cool on that end. And you don't have to have the buzzers. Controllers work fine.
So whats the problem? Well it isn't the number of questions. I played it everyday for about 2 weeks and rarely seen the same questions that often pop up again. Except for the movie clip puzzles. You tend to see the same clip ALL the time.
When playing with a friend(s) its probably the funnest. You can pick your avatars and all and everything is a blast. But by yourself its not really any fun because it seems pointless besides to get achievements if your into that. And online everyone seems to get every answer right, mainly because they have played the game over and over so they know the answer by now. This kind makes online less fun.
Another problem is alot of the games you don't even need to know the answer. You can just buzz in right away and either take a wild guess for mega points or use the extra few seconds to decide what you think it is because some of the games really are more about buzzing in first when you think about it.
Which leads to one of the biggest problems I think. If someone has about 2000-3000 points more then you its practically impossible to catch up. Even with score deduction on for wrong answers because if your behind in general that means you probably don't know as much which means your guessing wrong anyways and this means your only ruining your score. Scoring is a problem.
A minor problem but obvious one is movie selection. I know there are older people then me playing (I am kind of old myself) but the have movies from the 50s in here. Why? Lets be honest there really didn't need to be movies from that far back. And another thing about the movies is you can tell that only certain studios would put their movies in this game. You often see the same movie in diffrent games. Not once did I see a movie about a superhero or anything like that. Its not really a movie trivia game if you don't have a selection from all the genres of movies from all the studios.
Overall the game is worth a rental. Only but it if its in a bargain bin because this is about Box Office Smash movies. Its about movies that you haven't really seen in awhile. Although they added Dark Knight last minute so they look like it was current.
