Now Quiz - Now That's What I Call A Music Quiz (DVD)

I was given this as a novelty gift by a friend who understood my verging-on-the-obsessive love of the 90s, cheesy music, quizzes and all things Now...! On face value, it seemed like the perfect present for me, and I couldn't wait to go home, slip the disc in and waste away hours identifying tunes, naming lesser-known members of one-hit-wonder bands and generally showing off the otherwise useless bank of trivia that is My Brain. First impressions ...
...Busted's Year 3000 (on a rather short loop, yes, but I suppose most people would want to move on from Matt, Charlie and James ASAP) and a facade worthy of anything Now...! ; shining columns, over-the-top colouir schemes. My goodness, it even catered for sad freaks like myself with the inclusion of Single Player versions of all the games. I still can't quite figure out whether the fact that there are more people out there like me is a worrying or ...

Review of Now Quiz - Now That's What I Call A Music Quiz (DVD)

Music from EMI Released: 2005 Age classification: All ages Genre: Interactive DVD An appealing title and from a well known collection of music CDs.

...all music tastes and ages. Ideal for those family gatherings or a friends get together. The video clips and music are all well recorded and clear. It certainly bought back some memories! I paid £16.99 from HMV. We found this a slow, repetitive and tiresome game. There are not enough video clips for a DVD game. Many of the questions appear on screen to read and by the time you have read the question you only just have enough time to choose your ...

Review of Now Quiz - Now That's What I Call A Music Quiz (DVD)

I had been looking out for a good party game for the christmas period, unfortunately I chose this one. The packaging looks very good and certainly sells the game to you at a not inexpensive £16.99. When loading the game it is unclear of how to play the different options, and then after selecting can take up to 2 minutes to get to the questions. The questions are ok, you choose from 5 categories 60's,70's,80's,90's and current, I would judge the ...
...game falls down is the time taken between each question up to 3 minutes, it also fails to use the additional medium that DVD has over a standard box quiz i:e video and pictures with only 20% of the questions using this. When playing at christmas it took 2 teams 2 hours to complete the game, as you can imagine interest was waning towards the end. Techical bits are in works on all regions on a standard DVD player. ...
