    With thousands of questions across six categories, and the option to purchase downloadable packs on the cheap, this version of Trivial Pursuit won't get old anytime soon. You'll love the game's format, thanks to a multiple-choice set-up, jumping player pieces and single and multiplayer modes.

    Trivial Pursuit is a surprisingly fun and well put-together version of the classic board game of the same name. A couple new modes add variety to the rules we've been playing with for most of our lives, and the console-specific tricks, like picking spots on a map and the use of images, is great.

    If you enjoy Trivial Pursuit, this title is a must-have in your collection.

    EA’s conversion of the classic board game is entertaining and offers some great multiplayer action. The developer has intelligently implemented new, inventive game types, which bring with them fresh rules to a game we’ve been playing for years.

    Trivia buffs will have a fun time with this one, even if it isn't too different from the original board game. [May 2009, p.87]

    It's hamstrung by a presentation problem - i.e., you can't read the questions. [June 2009, p.60]

    There are plenty of good trivia questions, but this is a flawed port of the classic board game.

    A fun game for a very short period. With no extra question packs this game does get stale quickly. Stick to the board game on this one.

    Trivial Pursuit is a potentially good game that's been brought down by some pretty major flaws.

    Trivial Pursuit is fun as a board game but as a digital game it doesn’t sport the same intense feeling of victory. It’s you against the game, not you against your competition and with that comes an apparent lack of intensity and fun. TP should be enjoyed around a table with friends and family, not in front of the TV.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. El peor juego del mundo. Para empezar, en deportes te preguntan geografía y voces de actores en diferentes películas. Te puede tocar desde cuánto son dos más dos hasta cuánta gente invadió un país antes de que existiera. Penoso.… Full Review »
