Great Family Game for the 360 owners...

avelanchefan

Just got done playing three rounds of Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action! It is a very fun game that will keep you entertained for hours. There are over 1800 questions, and the Xbox keeps track of what questions were asked so you would have to play a ton before you get a repeat.

Achievements are moderate, but yet hard enough to keep you playing. We played 2 rounds and I had opened up 21 of the 42 available. There are a ton of game modes so the game looks like it will stay fresh. My 11 year old and 14 year old had a blast playing it. And although they had troubles with movies from the 80's and earlier, they still wanted to play more. So it really looks like something they would enjoy playing again.

Great party game! Especially for this time of year. If you have played the Scene It? DVD game then you are bound to love the 360 version.

I saw this on live as a preview, not download. What kind of things are asked? Whats the point of the game? Never played it but Im interested in it.

Well I can try to give you examples....like one category is "Ending Credits" and the will give you the director's name and a few of the actors name's and you have to guess the movie in the allotted time. All answers are based on the allotted time slot which I think is 30 seconds, but the faster you answer the higher the score of coarse. Highest possible score is 2000 points.

Okay here is another category called (I think) "kids draw" where basically you have a kids drawing of a famous movie scene (Like the plane scene on North by Northwest) and you have to guess it.

They also have a screening room category. In this you watch maybe a 2 minute film clip. After the clip they will ask you questions related to it. Sometimes the questions have to do with the clip itself, and others are well known things about the movie or actors in the movie.

One other one that pops up is a photo category, and they have early say high school photo's of actors/actresses and you have to guess them. All questions have four possible answers.

And the final round of the game is called "Final Cut". If you are behind this is the way to catch up. They ask four questions about a movie clip. The first ? is 1x, 2nd ? is 2x, third is 5x, and fourth you get 10 times the points earned. So if you know the movie and the leader does not, you could have a chance to win.

These are just a few category's out of say at least 30.

I am VERY glad to hear great things about this game! I have the first edition that came on DVD and loved it however after some time I knew the answer to every question and when we would make a drinking game out of it I had a lot of drunken aggravated eyes looking at me. Definitely going to pick up the 360 version this holiday!

I imagine that with the 360 version there would be downloads later on that would continue to enhance the game, i.e more questions, movie clips etc. I'll pick this one up, seems like a great title to get family and friends involved over the holidays during the parties/dinners.

I agree...looks like a lot of fun.

Bought this game yesterday, very enjoyable title. Much fun when family and friends join. Some very good questions to answer also, some will definitely pick your brain.

Sherard,

Glad you liked it. We have logged many hours with it on my account, and I have yet to see any repeat questions yet.

Is this an easy enough game for people that don't ever play video games?

Very simple game, think of it as a quiz. Heres an example of the game. They show a short video clip and then they ask questions relative to the clip, who was this actor, what were they talking about, things relative to the clip. Another part of the game consists of putting movies in order by release day, as in which title came out first, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. Simple things like that, and you get timed so the faster you do it, the more points you earn. Easy and fun family game.

Agreed....we played this over Christmas with both sets of grandparents. Neither one of them are technically savvy. So we played partners, and my family that knows the controllers used them while the old folks answered the questions. We had a lot of fun with it. We played it for a good solid 2 hours.

I bought this game because my girlfriend wanted it(and because I bought Guitar Hero III, so this was her way of "getting back" at me :P), and I ended up being sucked in as well. The Big Button controllers are easy to use, and the game interface I found to be extremely user-friendly. We have a ton of fun when we have people over. She still beats me nearly every time though.

We've had a lot of fun playing Scene It the past four days. Highly recommended. Its very fun, and certainly very easy for those that don't play vids often at all.

I got "Scene It" for my 360 in November, and me and my family have had a blast with it. It's a great deal for $60, and with 4 controllers, you can't beat it. I am looking forward to the upcoming updates for the current title, which will expand the field of questions even further. I recommend this game to anyone that owns an Xbox 360.

Yeah. Go to the Xbox Live marketplace, and watch the demo of "Scene It", and the host of the show mentioned it near the end of the presentation. When the updates will be released? I don't know.
