  1. A really enjoyable game, which is also the first to include full avatar support. Great for playing with friends and family.

    It’s a great package. However, the number of questions on the disc is quite limited. Play just a handful of games and you’ll start getting repeat questions which defeats the whole purpose of playing a game that is intended to test your knowledge.
  3. You don't need to be in the company of non-gamers to enjoy Scene It? We played a rather heated game in the office that proved to be as hard fought as the console war, with as much competition as a session on Gears of War 2.
  4. Still a fun movie game but one that is little more than an add on pack to what has come before. Surely it would make more sense to release new questions as DLC rather than releasing an unnecessary, and overpriced, new product that has very little in the way of extras. The online mode is a nice addition but is simply not enough to warrant a purchase.
  5. There are also some very sloppy mistakes, which are just frequent enough to make you wonder whether the game was proofread and fact-checked.
  6. Scene It? Box Office Smash is certainly not the best quiz-game you're ever going to play. Its lack of space is making sure that after a game or three some questions will keep coming back. However, what Scene It? does best is giving the gamer some entertaining questions in a sometimes original form and accompanied with great movie material.
  7. However, look past the briefness of what’s on offer and there’s a richly entertaining game to be had.
  8. The fans of “pop quiz Hollywood” will find this Box Office Smash capable of offering constant and permanent challenges that will test your knowledge about the world of cinema.

    The best trivia experience on any current console. The questions are categorized well enough to allow for those with even a basic knowledge The best trivia experience on any current console. The questions are categorized well enough to allow for those with even a basic knowledge of movies to do well and have fun. The movie clips and other activities are well varied and a lot of fun. Compared to Trivial Pursuit from EA, this is a masterpiece. Compared to Buzz!, it wastes less of your time, is a fair bit easier, and the announcer is more bearable to listen to. Full Review »
