I was a huge YDKJ fan back in the day, so obviously I was very excited to see a new version released that is console compatible! Here's the skinny:
The GOOD: It's hilarious! The same action packed trivia show with absolutely hilarious comedy will keep you in stitches! A lot of the old favorite question formats (Jack Attack, Dis or Dat) make an appearance. The wrong answer of the game, which varies by episode and is like an obscure scavenger hunt, keeps you on your toes. The format allows for everyone to play most questions, so even if you have a 'buzzer beater' in your crew, everyone can still score and enjoy the game without bashing the guy who seems to know everything a second before you do. Eleven questions a game (five per round for two rounds plus a jack attack) makes it a quick game, but lots of replay value. I find myself saying "just one more..." after most games. The content is VERY fresh and updated and the comedy is funnier than I remember.
The BAD: No gibberish questions... that's a fan favorite! Everything is multiple choice or jack-attack style, so no fill in the blanks either. Personally, I hate the episode format: you used to be able to pick categories, now you play pre-programed episodes with no choice, which lowers replay value.
Fans of the series: you'll find things to hate, but it's most def worth it. Every format of the game changes a bit, so get over your nostalgic hangups and enjoy the ride.
For newbies to the series: seriously? You're still reading this? Buy the game already: even if you hate trivia, it's too hilarious not to buy.

I had owned and played 5 different incarnations of this game on PC and loved it. So when I discovered it was coming out for my Wii, I preordered on the spot. I got it yesterday and played it. Let me tell you something folks, this did not disappoint! The only less than desirable issue is that it only does a 12 question game, where the PC version gave the option of a 7 or 21 question game, but otherwise all the bells and whistles are there. Can't wait to play with a group of friends!

Fun quiz and trivia game. Fast paced with an obnoxious host who will have you either laughing or crying. Highly recommended.

Jack has changed...
The computer version had an 11 and a 21 question version. The biggest thing this game is missing is the gibberish question. The game is fun...but I miss those things.

Worth $11
If you like this series of games it is worth the $11. Don't expect anything more than a typical "You Don't Know Jack" game though just because it's on the Wii.

I love this game! Best trivia game I've ever played.
This game is challenging, quick paced, very clever, and very funny. The questions are not simply "do you know this random fact" like most quiz games. Read more
