Amazon.co.uk Review

It seems impossible to imagine that there’s anyone in the world (who isn’t employed by Microsoft) that could possibility try and talk about this game without instantly referring to the PlayStation 2’s Buzz! series. In fact if the Scene It? name hadn’t been licensed from the popular range of board games Microsoft probably would’ve been on the receiving end of a few stern letters from Sony’s lawyers. As it is the game’s main gimmick, that it comes with four special game show buzzer controllers, is identical to Buzz! They even look exactly the same, although Microsoft has got the extremely shaky defence that the Buzz! games have never been released in America.

If you’ve not played the original board and DVD game version of the concept the basic idea is that you are presented with a series of themed and general knowledge movie trivia questions, many linked to a series of clips from the respective movies. The game comes with over 1,800 questions and more than 20 styles of puzzle. These include trying to complete a famous movie quote, guessing a movie title from a partial list of credits and working out a movie’s name based on a child’s drawing.

Using the buzzers insure that no one can get intimidated by the regular Xbox 360 joypad, with the giant buzzer at the top used to cut in when you think you’ve got the answer and the four smaller buttons used for answering multiple choice questions. It’s not a new idea then, but still a very entertaining one.

Customer Reviews

box office hit!!!
Whilst it is difficult to compare Scene It with games like Halo 3, Gears of War and Project Gotham Racing 4 - this game has a sort of charm that makes it perfect for people who do not compare themselves to hardcore gamers.
This game has a certain something (a certain playstation 2 game perhaps??) that brings out the competitive edge in all members of the family.
The value of the package - 1 game, 4 wireless buzzers + batteries is superb - my main concern is when the questions run out as they always do in these kind of games. I hope that there will be other game quizzes such as Scene it - James Bond or Harry Potter as they will be loved by both young and old members of the family (I wouldn't hold my breath for the Scene it - Quentin Tarantino version however).
As the nights are getting darker and all the family huddle around the fire - this is top notch family entertainment.
Close enough the perfect christmas present for the Xbox 360.

Lights Camera Fun
This game based on the popular board game of the same name brings to the 360 something that is original instantly accessible and will be loved by all.
The package comes with 4 big button controllers that make the game all the more fun as there is less chance of hitting the wrong button.
As you play the game you get points for correct answers (or guesses)
A game that can be enjoyed by hard-core gamers and casual gamers as well as all ages of people!
A slight concern is that with the question tracking when the last question is asked it goes back to the start, hopefully new questions and game modes will be introduced over live so hopefully there will be the same variety as the board game!

A brilliant game that cant be recommended enough

I burned the tea while I was playing this!
You know how it is....game arrives in time for Christmas....and we decide to have a quick look at it. Well.....2 hours later, with tea ruined, we were still playing it!

This game is great family fun. With 4 wireless controllers you can play as individuals or, if you've a bigger group, as teams. Questions cover many different genres and are presented in lots of different ways. Sometimes you're shown a film clip, then you answer questions based on what you've seen. Sometimes you're shown a fragmented picture, which develops in stages until you can guess the film. Sometimes it's simply based on your knowledge of blockbuster movies.

One of the things we really liked is the fact that some questions deliberately fool you into answering early (you win extra points that way), only to find that if you'd waited a few seconds longer, you'd have known the correct answer.

We haven't even tried all the features yet, but we're already addicted!
What a refreshing change to find that all the batteries were included too!!
