How it sucks

click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first
Soon things got really disappointing really fast. I don't blame the people that gave this game very positive reviews, but I suspect they did so before burning out the short lifespan of trivia this game has to offer. Rent this game for a party or two, but don't buy it.

If not, you won't get much use out of this game. You can't play this online as there are no Xbox Live capabilities. There are two more problems with this game that kill it for me that could have and should have been considered before this product was released:

Suffice it to say, it doesn't work very well. There is a pointless "Party Mode" which is basically the same as the regular mode, but just doesn't keep score. I have no idea why you'd want this.

I didn't give it five stars because of the host of the game that can become annoying by repeating the same phrases and not being able to skip the intros to each mini trivia game.

This doesn't work if your console is behind you as you look at a projected image on a screen in front of you. 2. For me the most annoying mistake: The game dvd itself comes in a cheap dvd thin case.

This is a fun game that most people can pick up and play right off the bat. We played it a number of times over the holidays, and maybe only saw one or two questions a second time, so the fact that it tracks the questions you've seen is really nice, allowing first timers to be on equal footing with those who play more often.

Actually it would probably be really fun if you don't as well. It's a way to get my spouse and immediate family involved with the Xbox 360 when they normally wouldn't ever play. There is a ton of questions, just make sure to sign in to your Xbox and then it will save your profile and the questions it asks you so that you will not be asked the same questions over and over.

I rated it a 4 because the intro gets annoying. MS needs to have the option to skip some of the intros. Hopefully, MS will have downloadable content through their LIVE service to expand the experience.

If they ditched the announcer, this game would improve 1000%. He is not funny and simply wastes everyone's time. Seriously, I was literally embarrassed to be making my friends sit through his ramblings.

I know, I sound really lame saying that, but it's true.

If you are a collector that cares about this, avoid the 360 version of Scene It and get the DVD version instead. Why didn't they get this right? This tells me they were cutting corners to try to save a few pennies..

I agree with the other reviewers; I'm hoping for downloadable content to update with new puzzles & games. If you are looking for a good family game or just a change of piece of shooting aliens, this game is great for you.

This game however, is ultimately lame. GOOD:

A trip to GameStop to ask them what they would consider "the mario kart of the xbox 360" (her fav game in college) resulted in my picking up "Burnout" - a hyperactive driving game with mega crashes that appeal to the 16 year old boy in me, but again had no appeal for her.

How it doesn't

This game is so much fun and very, very current. I got it for my husband as a Christmas gift, and we were able to play it right away w/out much need for instructions, and my in-laws played and had a lot of fun w/it too. If you've enjoyed the board game/DVD version, you'll love this one...

My 3rd grade grandson received this game for Christmas. When he played it for his grandmother and me I almost immediately saw adult sexual content from an Eddie Murphy clip. Shortly thereafter the announcer started demeaning players who weren't good enough.

My friend's mom played the game and came in 2nd place on her first try. This really is a game for everyone. My only complaint is that although the game will "remember" which questions were already asked by using a memory card or hard drive - I've already had repeats.

This is a great change of pace. The unique controllers are easy to grip and the gameplay is easy to understand for young and old alike.

The only minor complaint is that the announcer can get a tad annoying, but in the greater scheme of things, it's a small detail. Highly recommended if you're a fan of the board game series or love party/trivia games.

It's also great for drinking beers with the guys, too. It's a much more interactive experience than the board game version and the way it learns and remembers your playing history is great.

is exactly what I had hoped for. Wide variety of questions, solid graphics, and a great gameplay experience.
12 months ago @ Amazon
Also, hope that they will have future games that can be used with the controllers. Overall, I highly recommend the game for friends and family.

It's easy to set up and use and even more fun playing. I highly recommend this game for a fun filled night of laughs.

If you want a great entertainment game for friends and family this game is it. There are so many quesions I have yet to have a repeat. You get the game and four controllers with big buttons.

After cementing her spot as the best girlfriend ever by getting me an XBox 360 for our anniversary, she quickly realized it wasn't the interactive gift that perhaps the Wii might have been. Long hours of me on the couch playing Halo 3 didn't really appeal to her.

The controllers are simple and comfortable to use. Movie fans will love it!

Actual film footage used in questions. The scoring format keeps everyone in the game to the end. As previously mentioned...

Being a film fan, I can also say that the game goes 'deep' without become too 'obscure'. There are some great references for all you Lebowski fans out there.

I'll be brief. The controllers hold a great deal of potential for future buzz-in style party games.

ENTER SCENE IT! This game is a RIOT! For $60 you get the game and 4 controllers - a bargain and great for 'couples' game nights...

And including the buzzers with the game was a brilliant move, since many of the people we played with would've been lost with a standard Xbox 360 controller.

This game is awesome!!

Even though it only comes with four buzzers, everyone loves to watch the game and secretly play along. The challenges are numerous and fun - I especially enjoy the Screening Room (view a movie clip, answer questions) and Child's Play (name the movie based on a child-like crayon rendition of a famous scene) We usually play in "short mode" which makes games run about 35-45 minutes.

This game is so much fun. It SO much better than the regular board game.
