Friends was and is a hugely popular TV series that has become a cultural phenomenon ... "Friends: The one with the Trivia" will never be considered a phenomenon. However, it is a decent party game for a gathering of "Friends" friends.

The game play is pretty lame - the voices that read the questions get annoying very quickly. The clips are funny, but there aren't enough of them. Also the "scoring" system leaves a lot to be desired. Windows in their apartment building light up with each correct answer. Once you make it around the building with all of your lights on... you win! Easy enough you say - but unless you are a true expert (like another reviewer apparently was) the questions are pretty tough. I played with my wife for about an hour and I knew only about three of the answers (I am just a "Casual" viewer) while my wife knew about 30% (Even though she has wateched every episode several times) of the correct answers. So I certainly can't say the game is easy.

The "overall" fun factor is somewhat there- especially, if you use it as a party game. As a whole, I would say that this game rates about the same the board game "Scene It". Just don't buy either with real high expectations!

First let me start off by saying that I am a Friends freak; I love Friends. I was very excited to get the game, but found it to be a little disappointing. Janice, Gunther, Jack and Judy read ALL the question to you, their voices get annoying. Being a big fan, the questions, even on the hard levels, were not challenging. To me it wasn't a game to play over and over, I play a round and that is it. It's not a game that is exciting, the board games are better. If you plan on buying, just don't have your hopes up.

This shouldn't be compared to typical sit-down-and-conquer video games. Compare it to Taboo, Pictionary and similar group party games, with a TV twist. "The One With All The Trivia" is best served with drinks and appetizers to a roomful of players, where at least most of those players know exactly where they were every Thursday night for a good chunk of the last 10 years.

You don't need to be a hardcore fan to get a kick out of the clips and questions, but it helps. The real beauty of the game is that it brings back memories of past episodes and gets the whole room thinking about their favorite Friends moments.

It's too bad the game doesn't include more video clips, especially to jog memories for questions your group doesn't answer. Otherwise, it's a great way to get a party started, especially if you party with fellow Friends fans. Other reviewers that get annoyed by the repetition, the scoring system or the voice dialog are spending too much time "playing" the game and not enough time engaging in some "Friendly" competition. ;)

Me and my family love friends. I have every season and am now in the process of replacing all my discs that have actually stopped playing due to wear and children in the house. I bought this game since scene it is so expensive right now. I found it on amazon used and paid under 5.00 and that included shipping. I wouldn't have been happy if I paid 20.00 but for 5 it is great and a fun game to play with the kids and something even my husband plays. The questions can get challenging, and LIKE ANY GAME it can get annoying at times. Just like scene it when you get the same clip over and over with different questions or disney buzz where the genie reads all the questions and the reactions the same. But I don't play to marvel at the graphics, or the wonderous variety. I play for fun competition with the family, and to spend time with the kids playing something that doesn't bore me to death and that I actually have an interest in. So if you can get it used and are a big friends fan. Get it. Will be great "rainy day" activity.

Great quiz game for all those huge Friends fans! There isn't too much too this game but its fun to have a video game version of trivia.

This is by far is the best trivia game ever. It is very fun game. For the gameplay, it is simply fantastic. There are some questions have funny clips in it. If I answer correctly, I will light up one light in the building and vice versa. For the visuals, it is good because in the beginning after I open the game, it provides back the regular Friends beginnings just like the episodes. Overall, great game.

If you are a Friends fan then you will love this game. If not, just leave it be. This is the best Friends triva game out there so enjoy it, and it is a bit strange to to see the "Friends" on the cover of a PS2 game. It shows that the PS2 is a whore system and that the X-Box is for the hard core when it comes to games.

Ok... first of all... bad, so bad gameplay... videos are not so good, and brings nothin new to the series... its like watching re-runs... and all you need for that is a Tv... why spent $20... ???

if i was you i would not buy it

This is by far a dream come true for the millions and millions of Friends fans out there, including myself. Friends is the best, has always been the best and will ALWAYS be the best TV show. I can't wait for "Friends: The One With All The Trivia", for a very reasonable price of $19.99, along with the gorgeous "The One With All Ten Seasons" limited edition box set for under $200. I fell in love with the show as soon as I first saw it, but who doesn't love our favorite group of Friends?
