5.0 out of 5 stars Electronic Talking!, October 23, 2003

This review is from: Clue FX (Toy)

As a huge clue fan I felt that I had to buy this because it had a talking gameboard. I was shocked when I opened it to find that it is practically nothing like the original clue. It has suspects, locations and weapons on cards still, but there is no dice and you have to "interview" all of the suspects (you look in their envelope which has a card in it...it's hard to explain). Since me and my college friends have nothing better to do we've played it almost every night since we got it. Its a really fun game if you go into it thinking that you are not really playing clue, and you are just playing some new game. But in the end, we have played at least 3 games every night, sometimes staying up until 4am.
It's really fun but DONT THROW AWAY YOUR REGULAR CLUE!!
(ps. one really negative thing is that since you aren't a suspect and you are a detective, there is a max of 4 players. One plus this that now you can play clue with 2 players.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game!!!, May 16, 2004

This review is from: Clue FX (Toy)

I read the reviews to this game and was not sure if I would like the game. I love the original clue game and was somewhat skeptical because of some of the reviews. My husband and I then began playing the game and loved it. It is a quick game that you can play over and over again. In one night we played four games. This game is very similar to the original game with fun twists. I recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed playing the original clue game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sucked in by the words "deluxe", October 20, 2003

I was sucked into buying this game because it said "deluxe" on the box. The directions are pretty long and it takes a while to finally understand the game. Don't get me wrong the game is okay...after all, it does have a very pretty box, lol. However, at several points in the game I thought that maybe I should have stuck to the original Clue. The original clue is a lot easier to understand. And the talking voices kind of get repetitive and annoying after awhile in the deluxe edition.
