2.0 out of 5 stars There are better trivia games out there, March 24, 2009

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit (Video Game)

I very rarely write reviews for my purchases but i felt this was necessary. I pre-ordered this game (a first for me) and was very excited about its release. Boy was i disappointed! As other reviewers have commented, the typeface is incredibly small and difficult to read even on a 42" HDTV. The announcer's comments are annoying and the questions are incredibly difficult. Over all this game was not fun and I was waiting for it to be over so I could pop in my Smarty Pants game. Unless you and all of your friends are extreem intelectuals, this game is just boring. I would highly recomend the game Smarty Pants: Trivia for Everyone as a fun and interactive trivia game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inexcusable design flaw, March 15, 2009

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit (Video Game)

This game should be a lot of fun, but it is all but impossible to play. Not only is the typeface used for the questions ridiculously small, they used a font with a thin stroke weight. Then just to make it even more unpleasant the questions are black text against a colored background. The only thing I can think of is that EA must have done absolutely ZERO usability testing! A major video game producer should be doing much better than this. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't read the small text, March 15, 2009

By 

Phil (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit (Video Game)

I thought this would be a good and fun game to play with guests when entertaining or to play with signifiant other. I find that the text on the screen is really, really, small. I was really hoping that the game would speak the questions out loud but that is not the case. I have a 42-inch plasma tv, and despite the fact that it is a relatively large TV the text for the questions is really small. There are some fun twists to the game that I like, but the fact that some people are faster readers than others and the fact that the font is so small gives others an unfair advantage when playing multiplayer. All in all the game is just OK.
