As a huge fan of the original You Don't Know Jack games I was skeptical that this game would be able to live up to the high bar standards that they themselves had already set. I was not disappointed. This is a fantastic game and am very happy to play a version of You Don't Know Jack with pop references that I can actually identify with.
There are a lot of difference between this game and the originals. It's no longer up to just one person to get a question right, everyone gets a chance to guess. In the old Jack games only one person would buzz in and if they got it wrong only the remaining answers would stay. Points are based on how fast you buzz in your answer. You have 20 seconds to buzz in and you get that many points added or taken away from your score if your answers were wrong or right.
It comes with 73 different stages all with 10 questions. You will no longer get asked random questions but unique questions for the type of stage.
A great addition is the edition of a "wrong clue." You will get a hint for a clue that will randomly be the wrong answer in one of the questions. If you purposely guess the wrong clue in the set you will get 8,000 points.
The Jack Attack, great song intros, screws and all around goofy nature have stayed around and made into this game. A fantastic game for a group of friends or on-line play!

There were a few moments after I booted up You Don't Know Jack when the fake-commercials started playing in the background that reminded me why this was the best damn trivia game series ever.
Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to you, this new You Don't Know Jack is in mint condition and seems nearly unchanged from the formula that made it the only trivia game to ever need. All the adult-themed humor, thoughtfully worded questions and Cookie Masterson (the original host) has returned and is just as good as you remember.
One thing that I am unsure about is the game formula. It has changed a bit, instead of random questions, the game contains 73 individual episodes of questions. These remain unchanged no matter how many times you play the specific episode. While that could get annoying if you play every episode quickly, with 73 episodes, you won't be repeating Jack questions for at least 15/hours of gameplay. With addition episode packs coming out as DLC, this game has a lot of life in it.
Each episode is broken up into 10 questions and a final Jack Attack question (which, depending on how well you play it, can net you a win even if you completely sucked with the previous 10 questions). This seems like a good amount per episode, drawing each to around 12-15 minutes long. Jack has always been a wonderful party game to play with multiple people and that has remained the same. You can still "screw your neighbors" by forcing them to answer a question you know they are clueless about and DisOrDat questions give the lowest scoring person a chance to catch up by choosing (for example) if a clue given is a Pope or song by Britney Spears. The ingenious question mapping is just as spot on as ever. Jellyvision has made a great name for themselves by crafting questions that blend popular culture, low-brow comedy and high culture all in the same question. You Don't Know Jack has always been the type of game for people who hate trivia games and that has stayed the same with this rendition.
Here is to hoping Jack doesn't leave us again for another 8 years, he has been sorely missed.

This game is great.
It has the same great humor, fake commercials, and all the other things you loved about the originals, -Cookie Masterson is back!- and so are the weird pop culture jokes you've come to expect.
I loved the original YDKJ games when I was younger. This is very similar, but not exactly the same. The games are shorter (10 q's instead of 20), there are fewer questions (73 episodes of 10 questions and the "Jack Attack", and the gibberish questions are gone, replaced with "Who's The Dummy?" I preferred "Tickerlish Testgum," but it had to be sacrificed due to the lack of a keyboard on the 360, PS3 and wii.
Also because the game is on a console now, and not a PC, everyone has their own controller to buzz in on, and you don't get that weird tension as four people huddle around a cheap keyboard. I miss that.
I bought this game the day after it came out, and it was the day after, only because I couldn't get to a store.
I've played this game with several friends and even though I utterly destroyed them (I am a trivia king (yeah, yeah, I don't know Jack.)), they still tried to steal the game to keep playing when it was time for me to leave.
Another awesome bonus is the online play. It autopicks the episode to make sure none of the people getting matched up have already played the episode. With additional question packs available they should be able keep this up for some time. Which is nice, but the real gem is still being able to play YDKJ at 3 am with live people when you're drunk and alone.
