    I'm very glad that this YDKJ has online access, but you may find your opponents winning because they've "played this episode already. The bug out is, in my opinion, a masterpiece, and the only reason I'm forced to give this a nine is because, sigh, they idn't make it so that you could CHOOSE the catagories.

    I have every single one, and this is my favorite. Not only can I play at my house with friends, I can meet them online when we don't want to move our lazy asses!

    It's just a matter of personal preference, but I'll take Alex Trebek over the You Don't Know Jack pinhead any day. At least the free bag of microwave popcorn that comes with the game was good.

    An excellent party game, but unlike its predecessors, its online play component also makes it ideal even when other people aren't at home.

    The You Don't Know Jack series has a good rep for a reason; it has high quality sound, graphics (even if they are simple) and a great sense of humor. Plus you get free microwavable popcorn in the box.
