    A genius quiz-show game that ranks right up there with classics like "You Don't Know Jack." [Apr 2008, p.68]

    It's actually a pretty fun experience...IF you’re playing with a small group of close friends. Outside of this specific situation, though, the experience loses a lot of its initial interest.

    At the end of the day Wits and Wagers is nice start for trivia games on the Xbox LIVE Arcade, but there is definitely room for improvement.

    The games biggest offender is the questions themselves, there's no rhyme or reason to any of them.

    Ultimately the game dies due to the problems with the multiplayer, and so here lies the paradox: it would be great to see more people playing this online, but online is so crippled it doesn't make buying it worth while. Go figure.

    Okay, graphically and aurally the game is not ideal, but the core gameplay opens up trivia to everyone since you do not need to know theOkay, graphically and aurally the game is not ideal, but the core gameplay opens up trivia to everyone since you do not need to know the answers to win. Once you get into the action, the graphics and such become irrelevant.

    Great as a trivia/party/family game, but definitely not up your alley if you are of the hardcore gamer persuasion.    … Expand
