    A Nice lite collection
    Jackbox Party Pack a sthe name suggests is a package of 5 mini games, and 6 years later these mini games are still mostly pretty fun!
    You start by entering a room to play a mini game locally or online with your friends, you play on your phone, so no need to worry about not having enough controllers, which is important for a game that’s not really woth picking up unless you have at least 3 people to play..
    This collection consists of
    Lie Swatter which is a true or false game, not that fun, word spud which also isn’t fun where you finish a phrase and everyone votes on the best one… but the remaining 3 mini games is where the fun and laughs come in, as we have you don’t know jack which is a competitive trivia game where you take turns chosing categories and you have the ability to screw one of the other players, forcing them to answer in 5 questions for some bonus cash, and then theres my personal 2 favorites from this collection drawful where youre all given a random phrase to draw on screen, you then take turns guessing what the phrase being drawn is to earn cash and finally fibage where you all fill in the blank of a phrase with your best lie that you think others will choose as the correct answer, if your fake answer is chosen as fact by other players you get points ontop of guessing the right item, this one is hands down my favorite of the collection and comes with tons of strategy..
    While Jackbox Party pack wont keep you entertained for more than a few hours, those few horus of fun are worth picking this title up for

    I have loved You Don't Know Jack since the beginning, and this collection of fun minigames - including a fresh version of said YDKJ - is sure to be a fun party favorite. Breaking the traditional mold of standard controllers, this allows players in the same room or across the world to play online using a variety of smart devices, which is vital in Drawful where you literally draw picturesI have loved You Don't Know Jack since the beginning, and this collection of fun minigames - including a fresh version of said YDKJ - is sure to be a fun party favorite.

Some games are more fun than others - Fibbage XL is particularly a blast with friends, but all are dependent on knowing friends to play with as the fun quota goes way down against random players. Its a great collection and worth breaking out at any get together for a bunch of laughs.… Expand

    You must be kidding, guys.

    As far as I'm concerned, YDKJ has always been a party game (and a fun one at that.) A game which is only pulled out when you have a few people over and you all want to play something together. Well, this game says NOPE! There is NO LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. Epic fail. There is no point in playing a game like this alone, and I'm not paying $60 a year so I can    You must be kidding, guys.

    Well, this game says NOPE! There is NO LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. Epic fail.

    There is no point in playing a game like this alone, and I'm not paying $60 a year so I can play YDKJ online against strangers. I want to play with the people in my living room, and I'm absolutely sure that I'm not alone in wanting that from a party game. This series always had local multiplayer in the past.

    I pulled the game case off the shelf, because I was sure that there was some mistake, and NOPE. It says right on the back, 1 player offline or 1-10 players online. What a complete joke.    … Expand

    This game is trash. It has almost nothing neat. You can play almost everything on paper. The games themself aren't good either just being mediocre. I gave it a one because they tried. They needed to learn what to do, and the good thing is, they did. They still put out some bad ones, but I think that they steer way clear off Lie Swatters.

    Overall, the Jackbox Party Pack 2 is a great addition to any gaming collection – especially as the festive season beckons.

    These small gripes aside, for the most part all five games in the The Jackbox Party Pack are a lot of fun in a party environment, and because just about everyone can join in without having access to a controller, this gets to be one of the best inexpensive local multiplayer games to have sitting on the PlayStation 4's hard drive for when friends come over for drinks.
