This modern version of the classic game uses artificial intelligence and neural network technology to practically read your mind. Think of any artist or topic and 20Q will read your mind. 20Q asks a series of yes or no questions, which you answer by pressing the appropriate buttons on the unit.

Music buffs will need to bring their A game to outdo this game. Requires 2 AAA batteries which are not included. Ages 8 and up May frighten those who fear having their mind read.

1.0 out of 5 stars 20Q Music Does Not Work, October 22, 2006

This review is from: Radica 20Q Questions Music (colors may vary) (Toy)

Let me start out by saying that I am a huge fan of the original 20Q game, it never ceases to amaze me with its ability to guess things correctly. 20Q music is about as opposite to this as you can get. In the 3 days that I have owned it, it has only guessed a few of my challenges correctly. It starts out by asking if you are thinking of a person, place, thing or unknown? What do you call a group? It seems to ask the same few questions over and over again. If you don't know if the group or person you are thinking of is in the hall of fame, toured in 2005 or had a top 40 hit in the last 5 years, you can't answer the questions correctly. Apparently it likes The Who because that shows up often as a gues for any group I am thinking of.

I am not happy with this product at all, it is a total waste of time to continuously answer 20 (or 25) questions and have it be wrong 9 times out of 10. I plan on returning mine as soon as possible.

3.0 out of 5 stars 20Q Music Not Too Smart..., February 12, 2007

This review is from: Radica 20Q Questions Music (colors may vary) (Toy)

This game is pretty fun for a while, but nowhere near as "smart" as some other handheld 20Q games.

For example, if you consider a band a "thing," the game takes about 8 questions to figure out you are talking about a band. If you consider a band a "person," it will figure out you are looking for a band a little more quickly, but not much. Even then, it will ask many nonsense questions that just don't apply to a band (for example, "are you a lyricist?")

The game also asks contradictory questions--it will ask if a band is from the US and from the UK in the same round of 20 questions. Oddly, it will often ask if the music "originated" in the US. I dunno. Didn't rock and roll originate in the US? Or do you answer yes only for jazz and blues?

I'm a fan of 20 questions. The original one, I highly recommend, don't waste your money on this one. If you're guessing a musical instrument, the accuracy is almost 100%. If you're guessing a singer or a band, the miss is almost 100%. It hasn't guessed a single one of my choices and I've picked popular singers and groups.

Stick with the original.
