The game is exactly as expected, you can play the classic mode against friends with an option to pass one controller or use separate controllers. The new, faster multiplayer mode which makes you share a wheel and eliminates sections of the board after gaining pieces is a lot of fun as well and is very refreshing for quick games. You can play this mode in the fraction of hours it takes to finish a classic game. Since it’s faster paced it will more easily get some friendly rivalries going with your friends. It also packs a single player mode which I can’t yet comment on.

As shown on the back of the box, it does not have online multiplayer. The Live logo on the game is actually there to indicate that there is downloadable content. At release, they have a FREE movies pack DLC which adds over 100 questions to mix in with the standard questions or you can play them separately.

Now for some bad. I ran into quite a few American centric questions which, being Canadian, I had no clue how to answer. May not be a problem for you. Also somewhat related, there are lots of questions where you are shown dots on a map and need to answer a question. I really wish they’d have labeled what the dots were. In the original board game you’d get a list of places, not have to know where each state is or city is in a state in the US. Lastly, the Scene It big button IR controllers do not work with the game. Yeah it would be nice if it works but it’s not that bad. Since you take turns you don’t really need to answer questions that fast where you can’t navigate with the analog stick, and the controls are pretty easy.

I would recommend this game if you have people over a lot that may not be into playing the more hardcore titles (Halo, Gears, etc.). It’s great getting some non-gamer friends and family involved on the Xbox!

Underrated,

Great version of Trivial Pursuit and the new Facts & Friends mode is a fun/interesting way to play and will probably be the favorite mode of many players.

A few reviews have been far too harsh over the Geography questions and lack of online play. The Geography complaints are based on questions that ask you where something happen before presenting a map and having you select the area on the map that corresponds to your answer. This is tough as there are no boundaries on the maps and they zoom in to an extent that makes it even worse.

Online play means nothing to me since I refuse to pay for XBOX LIVE and would rather play games against opponents in the same room with me. I save my online contests for PC games.

Bottom line … I didn’t let the geography complaints steer me away and I’m glad (and I’m horrible at geography).

Stupid–yet another game that can’t be played online,

Guess I should have done my research before buying this–they fooled me with their little Xbox Live logo on the front of the package. Silly me for thinking I could actually play against real people online. None of my friends like trivia so I guess I’m stuck playing by myself. Why bother?
