XB Trivial Pursuit: Unhinged review:2 stars (Oh dear - it's a bit of a mess.) - Trivial Pursiut using celebs to ask the questions seemed like a good idea but its execution is dire. In classic mode the questions repeat after just a few throws. In fact I heard the same question three times during just one game - I guess it was too dificult to code a routine to ensure you don't hear the same one twice. Add to that, the annoying little asides the celebrities throw in for you, and well the novelty of the questions being read by John Cleese, Whoopi Goldberg et al soon wears off. You can only hear that little quip about the size of a country so many times. Water torcher indeed.

Sometimes the questions aren't read out loud too; I guess they only had access to the talent for half an hour. This renders the game strangely silent at times - as through the audio is somehow broken or the celebs nipped out for coffee.

Flash mode is kind of fun for a while - it's a basic ladder challenge - first to the top wins and you get a choice of two catagories (no dice rolling). But it's not interesting enough to save this product.

Unhinged mode requires two controllers - you *can't* use one and pass it around which meant it was never played.

All in all the beauty of Trivial Pursuit is lost here - and that is the interesting and varied QUESTIONS are the star. That's what keeps the whole concept of TP afloat and when the questions are uninsteresting and repetitive it leaves you wishing you were playing something else.

Not recommended at all.1 stars (Buyer Beware - Buy a New Sound Card First) - I actually can't comment on the specifics of the game becuase it won't load on my computer. I found out this game can't use SoundBlaster Live (a very common audio card) by spending a lot of time on hold and working with user support. This was a toll call. No toll free number here. My computer meets all the stated minimum requirements, but that didn't help me. Atari suggested that I replace my sound card to support their game.2 stars (Rent It) - Too many repeat questions. Save your money. Rent it.
