The way in which Cookie, the announcer, phrases his questions and delivers his jokes, is perfect. In fact, the jokes are some of the funniest I have ever heard. First, the jokes are what make this game so worthwhile. Sound This is where the game truly excels and upon which the whole concept revolves. The fact is You Don't Know Jack relies almost entirely on sound. But does this kind of game really need spectacular graphics? No.

And although developer Stratosphere does a good job of making this game exciting, with swirling colors and lots of fonts, it's still just a whole slew of words whizzing around your TV screen. Graphics Graphics? What graphics? This game is all about text. The screen shows a word, in this case "Papa Smurf," and when the correct answer appears, in this case, "Red Clothes," you hit the buzzer and win $2,000. And finally, Jack Attack: A time-based trivia game involving one question, and randomly appearing answers that match the subject matter of the question. Three Way: A time-based trivia game involving three randomly lit answers.

Here's an example, in the case of Japanese Movie Muensters, you decide whether the item is a type of cheese or a Japanese monster. There is Di or Dat: You're given seven questions and asked whether the item is A or B. The three randomly appearing mini-games add variety and a change of pace. In addition to the 1,500 normal questions, there are at least 300 more questions in the mini-games (Three Way, Dis or Dat, and Jack Attack). In fact, with 1,500 questions you could play this game dozens of times and still find new questions to answer. The real fun comes when you compete with friends and family. Can you guess which one the correct answer is?Įven after two or three times playing alone, you'll want to play it a handful more times, and even then it's still fun to play. This last one we liked the best because it asked the question, "Which one of these games did not feature the animal mentioned in its title?" The answer selections were Sonic the Hedgehog, Yoshi's Island, Earthworm Jim, and Donkey Kong. A few examples are Mother Goosed, Japanese Movie Muensters, I like Mine Raw and Bloody, Thank You, Make Sure to Flush the Captain's Log, and Q*bert was a weasel. Players enter into the trivia game, involving one to three players, and once started choose different subject matter categories. There are more than 1,500 questions with a unique voice-over for each answer, wrong or right. It's like watching a game show that's not about winning, it's about having fun. But each and every question is embedded with such goofy, left-field jokes that it's difficult not to enjoy. In fact, it's one of the most stripped down games ever. It's not a complicated game, not by any means.

Gameplay You Don't Know Jack is uproariously funny. Enabling one to three players to compete, You Don't Know Jack pits pop culture pundits against one another for funny money to see who knows the most. This is an example of the kind of questions you'll experience in Berkeley Systems' You Don't Know Jack, and more often than not, the wrong answers are just as funny as the right ones.įrom goofy advertisements in the credits to the sarcastic host, "Cookie," You Don't Know Jack truly gives meaning to a phrase, "It's fun for the whole family" (as long as you're old enough to understand the questions, that is). If you answered, "General," you're correct, and if you answered anything else, it just doesn't matter.

What would happen if you could play a game that asked you this question: "If judging by the society of Planet of the Apes, what kind of military officer would Magilla Gorilla be?"
