I had my doubts about this game -- especially after seeing a picture of the included controllers. However, I stand corrected. This was one of the best game purchases that I've made this year. The game is very fun, and has been a hit with my family. Also, the tracking of the questions/puzzles and the variety of categories makes for an exciting and lasting experience.

For the price of a normal game, you get 4 wireless buzzer controllers, batteries, and a USB wireless controller IR port. Definitely worth it after you consider how much you actually get with the game.

I'm hoping that MS decides to expand the experience in 2 ways: 1) Through downloadable content through their Live service (in the form of new questions or puzzle types) and 2) Creates new trivia games that can utilize the same controller setup.

Scene It! is a pleasant surprise for Xbox 360 gamers who want to add some casual family/friends gaming to their system (especially for those who don't own a Wii). I hope that people buy this game just to show MS that there is a viable market for quality party games on the Xbox 360, and encourages them to release other great trivia titles.

Fun game overall, the big button controllers feel very nice and work well. After playing the demo I was worried that he announcer would get annoying but this is not the case. The game moves along at a pretty good pace with minimal load times. As with most 360 games if you do not have a high def TV/Large screen some of the text appears to be a little too small. Other than that i would highly recommend this game if you are a fan on Scene It. Much easier than crowding around the board game version. It will be interesting to see what future expansions come out for this and other games that utilize the big button game controllers.

If you have watched more then your fair share of movies like my family has this game is a blast.
Actually it would probably be really fun if you don't as well.
It's a way to get my spouse and immediate family involved with the Xbox 360 when they normally wouldn't ever play.

There is a ton of questions, just make sure to sign in to your Xbox and then it will save your profile and the questions it asks you so that you will not be asked the same questions over and over.

Overall I think this game is great, if you watch a lot of movies like I do you may excel a little to much but it's still really fun and the custom controllers with the buzzers etc make it a lot more fun then your average trivia game.

This game is amazing. It's played in a game show format with the four included infrared controllers. The controllers work perfectly and feel very good to hold. There are so many mini game types I can't remember how many there were. I think the demo gave a taste of four of them. Oh, and download and play the demo if you haven't already... you'll be sold.

Ok, I played this game at Wal-Mart and I was hooked. Actually, Im a shooter fan and a part-time casual gamer. My wife is the one who pushed me to get this and after playing it, I was hooked. I really like the pace of the game and the options. You can always skip the announcer if you wanna speed it up. The questions aren't too easy and aren't too difficult (I'm sure its on the normal setting), so its very addicting. The only reason why I haven't given it 5 stars is because its not playable online against friends and families. I'm sure they can keep it up to 4-8 players and make password protected "rooms". If shooter games can do it, why not Scene-It? I think this feature would blow this game up in terms of popularity.

Although the graphics are nothing special, this game truly entertains and makes for a fun evening with a group of friends. We have played it numerous times now and because the XBox 360 "remembers" which questions you've played, I have yet to see a repeat question. I think that the software could have been a little more polished, but there's time for future releases to take care of that. The controllers are simple and comfortable to use. Movie fans will love it!

I purchased this game about month ago and have fallin in love with the game. YOu can play 2 to 4 players. You can set it up for a party edition that is never ending but also have regular game play that is short enough not to get board of playing the game. Graphics are pretty good too.

We own a ton of first-person shooters (like BioShock, Halo 3, Gears of War), which were really popular in 2007. This is a great change of pace. The unique controllers are easy to grip and the gameplay is easy to understand for young and old alike. I agree with the other reviewers; I'm hoping for downloadable content to update with new puzzles & games.

If you are looking for a good family game or just a change of piece of shooting aliens, this game is great for you.

I love this game. I bring it with me to all my friends' house parties and I always break it out when I host parties at home. Even though it only comes with four buzzers, everyone loves to watch the game and secretly play along. The challenges are numerous and fun - I especially enjoy the Screening Room (view a movie clip, answer questions) and Child's Play (name the movie based on a child-like crayon rendition of a famous scene)

We usually play in "short mode" which makes games run about 35-45 minutes. "Long mode" takes about 70 minutes and then there's "party play" where the game keeps going indefinitely and people shout out what they think the answers are.

I was impressed with the variety of movie trivia there was in the game. There were movie clips and questions from movies ranging from Laurence of Arabia to Sweeny Todd to Wedding Crashers. My friend's mom played the game and came in 2nd place on her first try. This really is a game for everyone. My only complaint is that although the game will "remember" which questions were already asked by using a memory card or hard drive - I've already had repeats. However, that's only maybe 20-30 questions out of the thousands that we've answered.

My Mom is a real movie buff and she received this for Christmas.
Although she is not a gamer, she really took to this game.
We all had fun. I would recommend this game to all movie buffs.
