You Don't Know Jack
Review by Surfer917
"This game is fun for everyone!"
This game is cool and is fun for everyone. While it might not be suited for younger children because of the mature content they can still play it since some adults might not even know some of the questions since the questions are so stupid and have nothing to do with real life and could mix up stuff from the 60's and the 90's. While there isn't that many graphics(since it's a trivia game) The numbers and the name on the bottom of the screen look cool when you get the question right or wrong.
The game is pretty much the same from You Don't Know Jack, to You Don't Know Jack: The Ride. Either way the announcer is hilarious and will make fun of you a lot in this game. One thing that the people at websites don't tell you is that on the Gibberish Questions(read below) you type F*** You(without the blanks since it is unprintable on this website) a old guy will come out and give you a lesson. If you have three people and everyone says that the old man will say some funny stuff and the game shuts off and takes you to the desktop.
Now lets begin with the gameplay. The keys are simple since the buzzer is Q,B, and P and the answers range from the numbers 1-4. It's so simple that even if you're blind you'll find fun in this game since the announcer reads the questions aloud, but then again if you are blind you wouldn't be reading this review. Every couple of questions there is a bonus round type thing were it isn't just a normal question. I'll tell you all of them since you might be reading this since you are thinking of purchasing the game. There is a Three way when there is three of the same three word that flash one at a time and there is a question above it and you buzz in when the answer of the question is lit up, but be careful, if you get it wrong you loose cash but you can still buzz in since and loose or win some cash. Another one is the gibberish question(as mentioned above) were the announcer says something weird and it has the same amount of syllables and sounds alike and you have to answer it. Every second and a half the money goes down and every five seconds you get a clue with a maximum of 3 clues since you only get fifteen seconds to answer it. As you would already know every trivia game has questions and each question is under a category. Each category has different questions and some can be funny and the categories get mixed up every time you play so each question you pick will decide what questions will come in the future. The last part of the game, the "Jack Attack" is a sort of like a three way but it has many more questions and a lot more questions. This is the part that you have to pay attention to since the answers come fast and the announcer doesn't say them.
The game announcer is very interactive and he will respond with everything you answer or do, like not buzz in, or your final score at the end. This game is fun and I could go on for hours describing this game but buy it yourself to find out.
