This review is from: You Don't Know Jack Mock 2 (Video Game)

I still remember when my sister first introduced me to You Don't Know Jack when we were out on Nantucket. It was a blast, and we spent the evening laughing our fool heads off.

While we had a great time, and have since with various people, it was a royal pain to have to crowd around a PC to play. That's why I was thrilled when it came out for the Playstation! We could now play on a big screen TV right in the middle of the living room. This was a HUGE party hit.

Mock 2 is the second edition, and yes, there are some changes from the first. I don't think I care much if the voice is different or not, and the graphics are actually pretty neat. Do the numbers have to be announced differently? Does anyone really care, with the questions and answers being as funny as they are?

They obviously put a serious amount of work into all of these sections, and it's a blast to play. Some of the topics are a bit 'adult' but nothing that any teenager hasn't heard before. We played recently with a bunch of 12 and 13 year olds around, and we all had a blast. You just can't keep replaying 1 all your life ;)

Definitely get both 1 and 2 to keep in your house for the next time you have friends over. They'll keep you laughing for hours!

1.0 out of 5 stars Stick with the original!, November 28, 2000

This review is from: You Don't Know Jack Mock 2 (Video Game)

I have played the Playstation version of You Don't Know Jack, and it is much better than You Don't Know Jack Mock 2. There is a different host reading the questions, and the regular host was much better. There is more variety with the graphics in this version, but it is not an improvement! The moving and/or colored backgrounds make it hard to read the questions and answers, which really takes away from the game. This version did not have the "Road Kill" series of questions, or the "Dis or Dat" series. Instead of a different way of announcing each number, each number is announced the same way in this version. I was very disappointed with this game, and wished I had purchased the older version, which is better and cheaper.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Don't Know Jack Mock 2- A new game...or is it?, December 22, 2002

This review is from: You Don't Know Jack Mock 2 (Video Game)

The game You Don't Know Jack Mock 2 appears to be a new game for the playstation game console. This is not true. This game is combined from the PC games You Don't Know Jack Louder! Faster! Funnier! and You Don't Know Jack 5th Dementia. I own both games and I still like this game.

There are five kinds of questions on this game. The types of questions are multiple choice, Dis or Dat, Wendithap'n, Coikydink, and Jack Attack. Despite what other reviewers say that there isn't the Dis or Dat they are wrong. I know this because I have the game and I just copied the question types out of the instruction booklet.

The multiple choice question is the question that occurs most often. A question pops up and four choices are given to pick from. If buzzed in to early, the player will not be able to see the question and/or see the screen and will most likely get it wrong.

A Dis or Dat is a one player matching question. Two categories are shown and the point is to separate the seven answers that appear into these categories. Some of the time there is a third category that means that the answer would fit into both of the categories.

A Wendithap'n is a question that asks if an event happened before, after, or never happened to another event. This question type was first in You Don't Know Jack Louder! Faster! Funnier! first and is not original despite what other reviewers say.

A Coinkydink is a question type where the player has to connect two clues by one word. Each right answer wins the player $1,000 and each wrong answer loses the player $1,000. At the end of the Coinkydink a bonus round occurs and players buzz in when the proper answer comes up that connects all of the answers. Hard core YDKJ fans will notice that this isn't a new question type either, and is just a renamed version of Roadkill from You Don't Know Jack The Ride.

Jack Attack is the last question of the game and can decide the game. A hint is shown in the middle of the screen and potential matches pop up for the players to buzz in on. Buzzing in isn't limited and can cost a player a ton of their money if they constantly buzz in wrong.

You Don't Know Jack Mock 2 is a good game despite being two games compiled into one. Even if you own You Don't Know Jack 5th Dementia and You Don't Know Jack Louder! Faster! Funnier! for the computer, this game is still fun. If you own the games you can know the answers ahead of time and show off to your friends. (MWAHAHA!)
