Over the years, I have managed to amass a collection of pretty much every version of "Password" ever produced. With the exception of "Super Password," I enjoyed every televised version of the show. The "Password" episode of "The Odd Couple" is one of my all time TV favorites. You may have guessed, I like the game.

This DVD version is, for all intent and purpose, just an over-produced variation on the standard home version. Instead of the cards and holders, you get a pair of 3-D looking glasses. Unfortunately, you can easily read the secret password on the screen without the glasses. And, the computer generated host (Charmin' Chuck Harmin) is just about as annoying a host as they could come up with.

Endless Games has produced many good home games. DVD games, at least going by this one, do not fit into their business model quite as well. Save yourself some money and get their standard edition "Password" game. It's not as high-tech. But it's a lot more fun.

Me and my mom love to play DVD games and we love watching password so this seemed like a good fit for us. I have to say that it was really fun. However the product description does not tell people that it is for two teams of 2 or more players. We thought that we would play a computer team. But never the less it is a fun game to play and I would recommend it to anyone who like DVD games and Password.

Well, this was a gift for somebody who really wanted to get Password as a game. So I bought this and we all played it. Its not too bad, but could be better. The "3-D" way of hiding the word is a joke. It tells you to adjust the screen's picture so nobody else can read the secret word. But who wants to mess up their tv just for that, and it really doesn't help. The concept is still fun, we had a blast...but there's gotta be a better way. Too much packaging and a bit pricy for what we actually got.

When we opened the box (which is a normal game-sized box), we were a little surprised to see that there was nothing in it but a DVD and a couple of cheap pairs of 3D glasses. We were even more surprised when, after putting in the DVD to check it out, we discovered that you didn't even need the 3D glasses to make out the word on the TV screen. It is easily readable without the glasses. Kind of makes the whole thing a waste if everyone cn see the word, don't you think?

Was not great. Way too slow. Just was not fun. Bring back the old version - we still use it but it is tattered.
