Customer Reviews

Pleasant, laid-back, but interactive? No.
There are two modes of playing: single-player, and teams.

Single-player first: You get asked 10 multiple-choice questions about films. I played it twice, and the second time I got asked 3 questions which I got asked the first time. Also, I think I got 6 ticks in the first round, yet at the end it only showed the number "5". So for the second time I counted how many I got ticks, and I got 7 ticks. The number at the end: "4". So, the single-player mode is repeditous, and can't count.

Multiple-player mode: You have 16 screens, each with 25 questions. You go through the 25 questions, answering A, B, C or D...on a piece of paper. Afterwards, you get to mark the answers.

Excuse me, but isn't this called: Barry Norman's "Interactive" DVD Film Quiz? I would not count it as interactive if the DVD could be theortically replaced with a video, and this one can. So it is not interactive, unless the activity is choosing the screen, and saying "Please proceed".

However, it would probably be good for people who don't want the gameplay of "Scene It", who want something laid back, and like Barry Norman (as I do).

Given the fact that it is not interactive, I might have given it 2 stars, but I'll give it 3, because the DVD itself is beautifully done, and well designed (apart from the interactive gameplay!).

Great game!
I liked the idea of a film quiz, but was really surprised at how good this game is! Barry Norman asks you personally every question and the one player and two player modes are a great idea. [..]

Game for all the family?????
Disappointed, as we were expecting a lighter quiz which wouldn't put our teenage children off. This is one for total cinema buffs. You have to be erudite in the history of cinema to feel you're not a dunce, so it doesn't seem suitable for the whole family. Huge bank of questions, but generally pitched too high.
