"Jumbolicious"--that's Jellyvision's entirely accurate and adequate one-word description of this uber-collection of
You Don't Know JACK, their award-winning, cake-taking, mega-popular trivia game.
JACK Jumbo is the natural evolutionary descendant of previous
JACK packs (
JACK Huge, The Irreverent Collection, etc.), but this one towers over its predecessors, boasting over 4200 questions in all. This super-size
JACK comes equipped with five separate games:
YDKJ volumes one through three (each weighing in at 800 questions),
YDKJ: The Ride (800 questions), and
YDKJ Offline (1000 questions).
The first three volumes are straightforward fare, certainly familiar to anyone who's seen or played YDKJ: you're convincingly immersed in a hip, TV-style game show, buzzing in (by yourself or with up to two other players) to answer questions for cash. As with all the JACK titles, it's not so much the idea of the game (trivia) as the incredible production values and the in-your-face, often laugh-out-loud delivery that makes the game such a kick in the pants.
YDKJ: The Ride makes a slight departure from the game show motif (no green room!), as contestants travel through different "floors" answering questions, but adds the nice touch of having hosts from all the previous installments come back to make guest appearances. YDKJ Offline--as you might have guessed--is the offline version of the popular JACK the netshow.
An excellent value, YDKJ Jumbo comes through with a heavy dose of JACK style, perfect for die-hard JACK fans or anyone looking for a lot of laughs and massive replay value. --Paul Hughes
Pros:
- All the fun and insanity of YDKJ in one neat package
- Tons of questions--game holds up well to repeat play
- Great for both JACK fans and those who don't know JACK
Cons: - Some players may be turned off by YDKJ's wit
