EA presents a fresh new look in contrast to the
one-dimensional game shows produced in real life. Two to four participants
vie to become the first to reach the top of a spiraling staircase (called
"the pallindrome"). Along the way, you answer assorted trivia,
recreate pictures, zap commercials on a grid, play concentration via
sounds or pictures, match a trio of faces, or test your memory by
selecting items off of store shelves. The graphics and sounds - especially
the actors, are crisp and well rendered. Providing comic relief are corny
commercials which occasionally interrupt the game. Overall, this is a
must-see game when having a group of people over, but after repeated play
the material loses its appeal. |
