MGA Jeopardy DVD Game Base System With Game

The Jeopardy DVD Game is better looking than any other Jeopardy product. It actually has Alex Trebek as a host and he's on video and reads all the questions. The set graphics and everything looks great, but the gameplay is sort of slow. The setup is terrible, it's really hard to put together, but once it's running it runs well and the buzzers are really fun to play. It's really fun with 3 players and looks and sounds just like you are on the show, but I wish they made the packaging easier to open and the whole thing easier to setup. Still, if you like Jeopardy and have some patience for the setup it's really really fun. The Clue Crew is on there too, which is also neat.

I received the game and the DVD was not working properly. It kept freezing during the game. I called the company numerous times and they kept giving me the runaround. Finally, I called Amazon and explained the situation. They were great...they sent me a new game.

Pretty fun game. Would love for it to be a little faster, but all DVD games are prisoner to a slow remote/dvd connection.

My nine year old son has been a Jeopardy fan for a few years now. When he saw this unit that was the only thing he asked for for his ninth birthday. Sadly, it was absolutely not worth it in the least.

1. The controllers are rather flimsy and must be aimed at the base unit just right or it won't pick up the signal. This can be frustrating when you have more than one person trying to play.

2. The graphics are absolutely shameful. The original Nintendo graphics were better than this.

3. When the board comes up and you are asked to pick a category there are NO dollar amounts on the board. After you choose a category you are THEN taken to another screen where you choose your dollar amount. This can be confusing when you're choosing categories because, with the absense of the dollar amounts there is no way to know which categories are completed unless you click on them. VERY frustrating and such a silly oversight.

4. There are only 20 episodes! Not only are there only 20 episodes on the included DVD but I have seen no mention of additional DVD's with more episodes. This means that, after you've played all 20 episodes, the unit is useless unless they come out with additional DVD's.

5. Lag-time between screens is painfully slooooooooooow.

6. The questions/answers are all multiple-choice. Not much intelligence needed to guess.

You would think with all of the advances in technology someone could come up with something worlds better than this. Truly, don't waste your time or your money on this piece of junk.
