AYS 4 may be the best version of the bunch, but if you are looking for a challenge you may want to stick with the original. Although there wasAYS 4 may be the best version of the bunch, but if you are looking for a challenge you may want to stick with the original. Although there was a drastic improvement in the number of gameplay elements, it seems like the developers realized the game is selling primarily to children, and as a result, the questions became significantly easier.
I think if you were a child looking to play the game, this may be the best way to go. You can customize an avatar, there is wireless multiplayer (although I've not yet played it), as I mentioned the questions would be much more akin to something you would be able to answer at a younger age, and it wouldn't be insultingly easy for a child either.
I think the gameplay diverges from the show's gameplay and shortens it up a bit. There are only 3 classmates to choose from now and only 10 questions. You basically answer each and tally your total score for a high score. As opposed to working to $1 million.
Furthermore, the prior quickplay features made it's way back in with Multiplayer alongside a pop quiz feature which is basically what those minigames are in between answering questions during the main game. They offer a decent break in gameplay and offer a nice bonus.
They added a stat screen to show you the number of questions you answered for each subject and how many times you got them right. A nice way of seeing where your strong and weak suits may lie.
Overall, I'd say this is the most solid title from the series. A very pleasant break from form over the prior 3 titles. It is still a rather mediocre game and you wouldn't be missing much if you skipped out on it.… Expand
