What was Warner thinking? Installed it on my kids computer...tried to run it...it said I was using a copied disk?? Huh? So I did a 3 gig+ full install and guess what, you still need the disk in the drive. It still said I was using a copied disk, which I wasn't. So I called...you know, the 20 min. wait thing. I was told it was because of the copy protection within the program detecting a burning program on my computer...such as Nero, etc...and you have to uninstall any type of burning program to run this crap. It will not let you run it if you have some capability to copy it?? Let me get this straight, they expect you to reconfigure your computer so you can run this thing? They are dictating what other programs you have on your computer? Are they insane? Hollywood out of control. I finally got the program to run and guess what, it is poor software anyway...not worth anyone's time. Leave this one on the shelf. junk.

I thought it should also have a single player with levels. The single player mode isn't great but multiplayer is fun for a group of friends that love FRIENDS!! If you are looking to play alone, get the used at a discount. :) *******A True FRIENDS Fan!!

First, I have to say that I own all ten seasons and watch them on a regular basis with my wife. I purchased this for her and we matched wits over a "friendly" game. The trivia is mixed, some of the questions are hard while others are easy, but the narration by Gunther, Janice, and the Gellars along with the video clips makes it a lot of fun. I do have two complaints with the implementation of the game. I felt like the developers did not take full advantage of modern computing and gaming. The graphics and screen shots are more fitting to a board game. I think they could have "juiced it up" with something more. I mean, when you get a question right it lights a light on the outside of the apartment building ?! WHOOPY, I would have thought that some behind the scenes tours could be unlocked or some more worthy objective could have been introduced. HECK, even the cheesy cheering by the "Friends" on the Season's Trivia Tracks would have been better. This, in the end however, is a personal preference and to be fair, this is a trivia game and not a First Person Shooter, there are a lot of video clips to watch, and some insights into the show are revealed at the end of a gaming session. The second and last complaint is also a personal preference from doing the Season's Trivia Tracks. When you get a right answer it DOES tell you which one is right, but DOES NOT give you the context like the Trivia Tracks. So I end up frustrated when I miss one but do not really know why.

In the end, I can recommend this to any Friends Fan that has enjoyed the Trivia Tracks on their Season DVDs. The price is right to cover over my personal feelings and I still enjoy it even if I do feel it could have been better.

I read previous reviews about not being able to run the program because the computer recognized it as a copied disk. I thought this couldn't possibly happen on my high tech computer... I WAS WRONG... Even though I purchased a legitamate copy, the program still would not let me run it.... BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!

We played this in a team format with another couple. We tried the "buzz in" version; we won't do that again. The "buzz in" keys were the "s" and the "c", a little close together considering there is a whole keyboard to use.

In order to score a point a player has to be "in control"; meaning that they won the last question. If a question is answered incorrectly the player loses a point. This sort of scoring caused the game to last over 3 hours!

Some of the trivia is ridiculous (What color shirt was Ross wearing in the last clip?), other questions made us think. Overall this is nothing more than a mediocre board game with some video clips; but what do you expect for the price of a board game. I think we will try the "Scene It - Friends Addition" instead.

This DVD-Rom game is so interesting and there are even some questions that I don't know after watching every episode numerous times. I highly recommend this for Friends fans of all ages, regardless of whether or not you have seen every episode. Also, I love that the game can be played by only one person, for those nights that you find yourself alone and want a few Friends to keep you company!

I was very excited to get this game but it ended up being a huge dissapointment. I'm a Friends fanatic and it got old very quickly... the game is really short first of all.. and there's no real point to it. I wouldn't buy it if i were you.

Like S.Boyer, I am having the trouble of not being able to play a legitimately purchased computer game because I also have a copying program on my computer. I also spent AT LEAST 20 minutes (on 2 different occasions) with customer support and both times was told I'd be getting an email with instructions on generating some report to submit to them - by the way, I'm still waiting for those emails. I finally got the report to run on my own and submitted it via email, but am now told it's incomplete. Since I don't even know exactly what the report says, I may never get the situation resolved! I am so disgusted with the whole thing and wouldn't recommend purchasing this game even for computer whizzes who might be able to figure out how to run it! I just don't think it should be this much trouble to play a game!

I LOVE Friends and thought that I could expand my "Friends" collection by purchasing the game, which I did but now kind of wish I would have saved my money. You are not missing anything by not buying this game, I mean yeah it's something to do to pass time but it gets slow sometimes. Overall, it's okay.

I purchased 3 copies of Friends: The One With All the Trivia. None of them would work. All 3 came from different sources and all of the disks showed read errors. They must have been bad from the manufacturer. My computer and DVDRW work fine with other CDs and DVDs.
