Played a couple of games online today (PS3 version). It's pretty fun game.
I do fear from repetitiveness with multi playthroughs. Ten questions is pretty damaging too. There can be a slight bit of input delay which can be easily ignored execept when it comes to the Jack Attack questions becuase they require speed. I also don't really care for the whole faster you input the answer the more cash you get system. They also need more "Number" songs. I played four games and they were all the same.
On the positive side we have Cookie. Enough said there. Trademark YDKJ humor. If you didn't find it funny before you won't here as it's almost dead on the old humor found in the PC games. The trophies are hilarious and create artificial replay value which I find the main game is lacking. Questions are hard but clever.
I hope the DLC includes question radomizer and 21 question options. For now I'd give YDNJ a 7.5/10 and for the $30 console price and $20 steam price its a good deal.

Loved the series before, but rarely played it as my weekly get together for gaming usually has 4 people (and yes, we could rotate in and have someone watch, which we did for awhile, but eventually moved on to other stuffs).
But now its 4 player play, so day 1 purchase! (so yes, I purchased it today)

I picked up my copy (360) today from Best Buy. Had a weird realization that when your game begins with a "Y", they put you on the bottom row. Kind of unfortunate and I nearly missed the game when I was doing a quick-scan of the shelf.
Can't wait to get home and play it - been a long-time fan of the series and still have just about every cd-rom version.

Is Scene It? Box Office Smash Bundle the best bundle for big button controllers? Fuck it, bought. I doubt there is an awesome Scene it? game I'm missing.

Both Lights, Camera, Action and Box Office Smash are excellent games. The third one (Bright Lights! Bit Screen!) is sub-par. It's not a coincidence that making the series multiplatform and putting it in the hands of a poor developer caused this transition in quality.
wow looks like even the ny times reviewed this. pretty cool. all of a sudden i checked googlenews and it seems to be getting some press

Just bought on PC and what a fucking disappointment. No gamepad support and only 2-player local co-op. Worst part is, I'm gonna end up double dipping 360 version now so I can play 4-player at my house. I'm buying used.

Not sure why they even made the PC version, but in any case... guess I'll go pick up the 360 version.
What the fuck? I'm so glad I was too tired today to impulse buy. That's insulting.19Kilo said:I was just browsing the steam forums and it looks like the PC version has no 360 controller support or button remapping. Also local multiplayer only and it's limited to 2 players.
Think I'll just rent a console version.

You didn't laugh at the joke that Cookie told after that question? He says something like "'Natesbook' would be another name for Ass-book. The one thing about Ass-book is that you wanna make sure your friends don't poke you". HAR HAR HAR. That's what the achievement is for. Laughing at an easy joke.

Ordered the 360 version, should be here tomorrow.
I kinda wish they had included an option for people to use USB/Wireless keyboards for gibberish questions/fill in the blank/ect. You can use it navigate the dash, so why not?
Also, what about the Chatpad? Another great/official option.

I'm not 100 percent sure, but when I went into multiplayer it didn't seem like you could have more than one local player. I only had a few seconds to check it out when my girlfriend had to go the bathroom, but I expect that would preclude guests. I'll check again when I get home from work.

Played a couple games online last night. A few lag issues here and there, only major issue was in one particular game where the game kept hanging for several seconds, people eventually dropped out. I'm guessing someone had a terrible connection and were dragging the rest of us down.

Had to kill my save file after 8 games because I went for the -$1,000,000 jack attack achievement and completely ruined my stats.
