Product Description

Product Description

This game for the PlayStation console has 4,200 questions on subjects banal and baffling. Based on the popular TV game show, Jeopardy! 2nd Edition pits you against some advanced computer opponents in competition toward the tough Double Jeopardy bonus round. If you're not up for the pressure, you can play without opponents. Or for an extra challenge, you can try the Tournament of Champions mode. The game even includes audio and video Daily Doubles, where players listen to and watch clues for point prizes of varying amounts. To better simulate the experience of being a Jeopardy! challenger, the makers have included two sample qualifying exams (what, did you think they let just anyone on the show?) and behind-the-scenes video of the actual game-show studio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answer: Jeopardy 2, Question: What is the best PS game?, July 18, 2001

This review is from: Jeopardy! 2nd Edition (Video Game)

This is a great game! My wife and I play it almost every day. We like it so much that we just bought the original playstation game (just in case we eventually run out of questions in this one).

This game is somewhat difficult and I would only recommend it for adults and teenagers. Let's say that on a scale of 1 thru 10 (10 being the hardest) that the TV gameshow questions have a difficulty rating of 10. The questions on the video game would then have a difficulty rating of about 7.5. My wife knows more trivia then I do, but I am better at guessing (often the way the answers are written help significantly in guessing the correct response) and we manage to play very close games. We've played about 50 games. We've each won about 20 games and the computer player has won about 10.

The auto-complete feature makes the game much more playable. The game maintains an "internal dictionary" of words that make up all of the correct answers. When you type in one or more letters of a word that it recognizes, it will display the first word in the dictionary that matches this pattern (which may not be part of the correct response) and will allow you to choose that word if you want. This really helps those of us who can't spell long words. The game can be somewhat picky as to what it will accept as a correct answer. For example, if your response is plural (i.e. has an S at the end) and it expects singular, it may (or may not) tell you that you're incorrect. During play, Alex's comments are kept to a minimum and he doesn't become very annoying. We have had very few repeat questions in the Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy rounds. However, about one out of every three Final Jeopardy questions is a repeat. This is the only aspect of the game that I find somewhat annoying. Still...this game is great! It is our most favorite game that we have for our Playstation 2. This game, along with Wheel of Fortune 2 and You Don't Know Jack are great games for adult owners/players of the Playstation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interactive Jeopardy!, January 25, 2009

This review is from: Jeopardy! 2nd Edition (Video Game)

You know how you play Jeopardy while it is on along with anyone else who is watching it. Actually play Jeopardy with the host Alex Trebeck(I have no idea how to spell it).He does a good job with it and it is always a great sensation when you hear him say, "That's correct." Jeopardy is loaded with question no one knows to questions a 3 year old knows. This is an excellent party game for 3 players.

I just bought a second hand copy of this. The case said "Jeopardy, Second Edition," the disc said "Jeopardy, Second Edition,"so why am I actually playing "The Emperor's New Groove?"
