The Ultimate Football Pub Quiz DVD

Advantages: Easy to follow format
Disadvantages: No use if you don't follow celebrity

...I bought a pack of four quiz DVD’s recently from a shopping channel, and this was one of them. ~What is it?~ This is an interactive Quiz DVD. You simply put the DVD into a standard DVD player, and answer the questions using the buttons on your remote control. This particular game is a celebrity quiz, made by celeb magazine Heat. ~How do you play?~ The first thing you are asked is if you want to play with single or multi player or if you want to read the instructions. I have played this both on my own and with friends, and the concept of the game is the same both ways. You can chose up to four players. Once you have chosen the number of players, you are then asked to select a character. There are eight different celebrity characters to choose from. They are: Reality TV Star, Leading Man, Rock Star, Starlet, Chat Show Host, Super Model... Read review

Advantages: Tom Baker is entertaining
Disadvantages: The game play is slow and irritating

...Tom Baker's Ultimate Sci-Fi Quiz starts well - Tom Baker is, as ever, entertaining and he doesn't take himself too seriously. The game allows for one or two player games, and the premise is that you are captain of a spaceship that has fallen through a wormhole and is lightyears from Earth. You were on a research mission, and it's imperative that the data you collected is returned to Earth. Each question you answer correctly brings you closer to Earth; wrong answers leave you where you are. In a 2-player game there's the added hazard of encountering another wormhole - an incorrect answer here will swap your place with the other contestant if you're ahead and answer correctly. There are 15 categories of questions, ranging from different decades to 'Earth in Peril'. The 'Literature' category isn't really about books, though, more like... Read review

Advantages: Good Fun
Disadvantages: Doesn't Last Long Enough

...paid mega bucks for it I would have been annoyed, but for a tenner it was a good bit of fun while it lasted. And it did keep us in the house, 4 people in a pub on a quiz night would be far more expensive! One more slight glitch though. I couldn't figure out how different players can play this at different difficulties at the same time. Now this might not sound so bad, but I would have got more air time if the kids could play me and they be on easy and me on hard. As it is, they have to play themselves (although they were not that bothered about this game) and then I play myself afterwards. At about 20-25 mins a game, this is a long time to sit bored. Since buying this game I have to say that I don't disapprove of the idea of interactive DVD games. They all seem to be fun for a night in - but just remember that thats pretty much all...
