3.0 out of 5 stars the good and the bad, November 25, 2006

I like this game, but if you're into quick play or play a lot, I'd suggest the non dvd version. The DVD animation and voice overs are slow and corny. I'd rather get the game going more quickly with more Mad Gabs and fewer score announcements. Also, the DVD doesn't keep track of used Mad Gabs so there are a lot of repeats, which aren't fun if you're playing with people who haven't seen them and you have. The buzzers are nice because you can play it from the couch, but make sure you follow the directions as they go when you program them, or else they'll get mixed up as to which buzzer is which.

1.0 out of 5 stars I wish I could give it a negative 5 stars..., January 5, 2007

This review is from: Mad Gab Mania DVD Game (Toy)

This game is very difficult and lengthy to program the remotes. Also, if you play it for more than an hour the questions repeat themselves so basically if you play it once there is no reason to play it again. It's a huge waste of money. For 30.00 they could have at least put a larger database of questions on the DVD or have more than one DVD included in the game.

This is a BIG disapointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't get the DVD version, January 1, 2007

The DVD version of this game is terrible. Syncing up the buzzer remotes to the DVD player is a lengthy process. If successful, once synced the buzzers seem to be effective only half the time during game play. However, the biggest problem with the game is that if you play the game more than once, several of the questions repeat which makes repeat playing of the game unfun.
