    So the big question is, "Does Trivial Pursuit Unhinged improve upon the actual Trivial Pursuit experience?" The answer is a resounding "No."...That there are far fewer questions in Unhinged than in your average Genus Edition doesn't help.

    Lacks polish, underwhelms, pales in comparison to the board game that inspired it. [June 2004, p.88]

    The general lack of thought and polish is obvious in almost every aspect.

The celebrities haired to voice the questions do a fine job and the female host of the main game is easy on the ears. The Unhinged version of the game allows people to bet on other player's answers, land on weird spaces a la Mario Party, and do other dastardly stuff to add some variety to the game. XBox Live is an interesting addition if you don't mind playing against 12-year-olds who will quit halfway through the game (hint: BEST PLAYED WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW). All in all a decent game as long as you're not expecting to be blown away by any of it. It's a trivia game, not Ninja Gaiden.… Full Review »
