Movie trivia from the whole movie industry...

When I first played this game i wasn't expecting too much, and I think that is a good stand point to start. Firstly as a 'video game' it's not top notch, but as a video 'game' it excels.

Scene it? cleverly breaks itself up into varied rounds of different formats of questions on a diverse movie database. The differing gametypes help prevent the standard ask a question answer a question format and presents fun 'mini-quizes' in which there are several in a round.

It also helps to take the lead from the over smart players by offering differing ways of getting players to answer questions and earn points. The ways it does this is to offer both buzz in rounds and all answer rounds. Add to this the varying types of questions and trivia (identify missing objects to name the movie from the clues to watch this scene and answer questions) adds much more complexity to this gametype.

This would be a great stand alone game, but unfortunately to make it a stand alone game would drive the cost sky high, it is obvious why a console release is the best format for this game.

Some of the bad things about this game are that the movies range from classic B&W movies you've never been anywhere near, to recent underground films you very likely have not seen. Add to that the Buzzer uses IR signalling to opperate wirelessly (even though the controllers are a Microsoft product) and you have some minor frustrations that detract from your enjoyment.

Though it does have it's irritants, the game is till fun, especially when competing against your friends.
