Jeopardy!
Review by Odwolda
"NOT a game for the weak-minded. In other words, unless you're really smart, I wouldn't recommend it."
Jeopardy!, probably the most challenging game I've ever played, is definitely not for someone who has gotten a C or less in their past grades. In other words, THIS GAME IS HARD. H-A-R-D.
Graphics 7/10
This is one place where Jeopardy! takes a steep fall. The graphics are pretty blurry, except for the screens with the questions on them. But the players' faces are barely detailed. Trust me, I could barely even tell which player I was until I read the name. Which leads to the fact that the players are, if at all, hardly even close to being ''elaborated''. But it's not all bad.
Gameplay 10/10
Now, even though I'm not really smart enough to answer half the questions, I still say this game is really fun to play. I'm just going with the cold, hard facts. The questions can be very challenging at times, and they can be, at times, even so confusing that you can't understand what the heck their saying. However, sometimes the questions can be so easy that a dog could know them, which balances things out a little. But there is a good variety of player choices, you can enter a 6-letter name for you to be known as, and the game can become very competitive and addicting if you have the knowledge.
Challenge 10/10
If you hate challenging games, stay away from this game. The questions are like this: Challenging-99.9998% Confusing-1.0001% Easy-.0001%. Which means this game is practically 100% challenge. Even smart friends I have can't figure out half the questions in Jeopardy!. I have had to play games with a dictionary right next to me at times. If you think about getting this game, just remember this: 100% Challenge.
Sound&Music 10/10
Well, if you've watched the show, you know the sounds. And trust me, you'll recognize them in this game. It even seems at times that you really are watching Jeopardy. Which is what made me give this game an 9/10 instead of a 8/10. But really, the sound and music is what gives you the patience to play ;).
Replay Value 10/10
Umm, HELLO! It's Jeopardy! for the love of God. It is basically made up of replay value! And this is the truth. I have only seen the same question like 3-4 times. That's it. No other times. Which means this game has a lot of replay value. Even if you went on a hunt, you wouldn't find the same question that often.
So, if you like a good challenge and competition, I recommend you this game.
