5.0 out of 5 stars Jeopardy 2003, December 25, 2002

By	Theodore Illenberg (Fresno, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the latest version of Jeopardy with the new dollar amounts and over 5,000 questions. You can play standard, solo or tournament of champions. Standard mode is the traditional three player game. Solo mode is practice, so therefore you do not get the anwers to the questions. In tournament mode you play with three human players, who have won at least 5 games or $75,000.
You can adjust the spelling tollerance and computer player difficulty as well as the buzz in time. You need to be carefull of the spelling. You need to check your answer over before submitting. There is some tollerance for similar answers but because it is a computer game and not the telivision game there is no human factor in determining if the answer is right. For example. I had a question on what happened on a certain date during the Korean War. The correct response (or what was acceptable) was "what is prisoners of war?" I typed in "Prisoner exchange". One time I typed in "Franklin Deleno Roosevelt", the accepted response was "F. Deleno Roosevelt". The answers were similar but I was considered wrong. Career statistics keeps track of your winnings , your strongest and weakest catagory as well as the number of corrrect and wrong answers. I just started playing the game, it is a good game. The graphics are good. The computer players have speaking voices in giving their responses.

2.0 out of 5 stars Jeopardy 2003 A Rip-Off, April 1, 2004

By	Claude Daigle (United States) - See all my reviews

Jeopardy 2003 is a huge WASTE OF MONEY! First of all, the program is flawed because it periodically shuts down. And it will do so in the middle of a game, so be forewarned. Second, all of the questions are exactly the same as the Jeopardy 1st edition game! I thought I was buying a whole new, fun Jeopardy game (because after much play on the 1st edition, my family and I had memorized most of the answers). Instead, I got essentially the same thing as I already owned, only the computerized Alex doesn't have a mustache this time. Furthermore, the "Tournament of Champions"...totally bogus. It is mostly questions from the regular Jeopardy rounds mixed up to make you think they are the more difficult T.O.C. questions. Overall, this game gets a big fat ZERO with me. The price I paid was NOT well worth it for what I received. Alex and Merv should have thought twice before putting their names on this game...

3.0 out of 5 stars Jeopardy 2003, October 11, 2002

By	Manuel A. Calcagno (College Point, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This game is sometimes called Jeopardy 3 but on the box it's called Jeopardy 2003.

I was surprised, that in Solo Mode, you are not told the answers to the questions!
When you play with others or computer players, you are given the answers.
The graphics and sound are pretty good. My main complaint with the game is the lack of options. You can't even pick the resolution you want to play in. There are no graphic options at all! Everything is choosen for you. There are a few options having to do with gameplay, like buzz in time 1-3 Players and such.

I like to pick my own options and settings, thats's why only three stars. Otherwise the game is fun.
It requires Direct X 8.1. System requirements are a minimum Pentium II 333Mhz but a Pentium III 500Mhz is recommended (32MB RAM for Win 98/ME/2000 but 64 for XP)and 200 MB Hard Drive Space.

I also ordered Scrabble 2003 and Wheel Of Fortune 2003. I hope they have alot more options than Jeopardy 2003.
