Customer Reviews

Moving backwards3 Pros: 1) As with many other games these days, you can customize your character, and even give him a mullet and a pornstache (as I did, of course). 2) Not as prone to locking up (on my PC, anyway) as the 2003 version. 3) The clues are better (and somewhat more difficult) than in the 2003 edition. 4) Customizable difficulty level (though only so-so impact on the game). Cons: Where do I start? 1) No one reads the answers. They just pop up on the screen and you read them yourself. This is annoying because in the TV version you can't buzz in until the clue has been completely read. 2) Multiple choice. A HUGE booboo. What the heck is that about??? Since when is "America's favorite answer and question show" multiple choice? And not only does it sorta ruin the experience, but at times it's complete nonsense. The first game I played had a category called "Arthurian Legends," where all the answers were someone named Arthur. Then in one clue in the category only one of the choices was named Arthur - duh. All in all, it's still a decent game. I don't regret the purchase. I'm too big a trivia buff not to like it. It's just that it isn't really Jeopardy. If the publisher felt that more people would prefer a multiple choice version then they could've at least made it optional, not mandatory. As it is, it seems that a multiple choice version would actually be harder to write, since you have to come up with all sorts of answers besides just the correct one(s). And if they're not gunna have a guy reading the clue then at least have a clock so you can't buzz in before the clue is read. Multiple choice Jeopardy?1 I am just floored that they would make a jeopardy game multiple choice. It not much fun when they give u the awnsers. For 20 i want a refund to be honest. I feel taken advantage of. It has some jeopardy characterists but all in all seems rushed and with out it playing like jeopardy a waste of ones time. warning this product is mislabeled its not really jeopardy its a multiple choice quiz Multiple choice ruined this1 I like The idea of a Jeopardy PC game but this version sucks. I have to agree with the other reveiwers about the Multiple choice on this game. Providing multiple choice ruins this game. Multiple choice was never a part og the show and probably never will be. If Jeopardy gets any more game releases, keep it the way it originally is. In my opinion, the only thing that should be updtaed with Jeopardy are the Answers, and categorys. Also, Jeopardy would make a great Nintendo DS game. If it were a ds game, we could use the touch screen and instead of typing in our responses, we could say them. RIP Merv Griffin
