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.

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.

Don't waste your money on 20Q Music. We are fans of the original 20Q, which always amazes us with it's accurate answers but this is no where near as accurate. My husband and I have played it numerous times and it has probably guess accurately once. One of the questions was "does the persons name start with a B?" We answered yes. When it finaly guess the answer after the 20Q the name it gave started with T!!! It really is a time and money waster.

This is a fun twist on the original 20 questions. I haven't had the problems that other reviewers have. It took me a couple tries to understand what a band would be considered (person or thing) and after that it's worked great! I hadn't tried the specialized versions of 20 questions but I will definitely think about getting some of the other specific ones.

This game is much better than the reviews give it credit for. However, I think it is a game more for adults than kids or teens. I am middle aged and have a blast with it, where as my 9 and 12 year olds don't have enough background information to be able to answer the questions correctly. It also tends to do better with lead members of a group. It had no problem picking out Freddie Mercury, Jerry Garcia, and Mick Jagger but it had some trouble with other members in their groups. It was also able to pick out current pop stars including some American Idol singers. It also did a good job guessing musical instruments. I have not yet tried musical places. I recommend only getting this if you know alot about musicians, instruments and music related places. Otherwise you may not be able to answer the questions accurately.

OK THIS THING IS SOOOO AMAZING!! IT HAS SHOCKED AND SUPRISED ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND IS SOOOOO MUCH FUN TO PLAY!! OK OF COURSE IT HELPS TO BE A BIG MUSIC FAN TO PLAY THIS AS IT REALLY HELPS U ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BETTER SO IT CAN SHOCK THE HECK OUT OF U WHEN IT ANSWERS CORRECTLY! I JUST CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW MUCH KNOWLEDGE IS ACTUALLY IN THIS THING!! MY NEW FAV TOY FOR YEARS TO COME!!
