I was bought this DVD game for Christmas, and I have to say its only the 2nd DVD interactive game i've ever owned.

You do not need a computer, but it will play in it if you did, all you need is a tv and dvd player and most households have one these days.

With over 1000 questions, and up to about 8 different categories to choose from (sci-fi, horror, classics etc) it is very engaging, the disc loads relatively quickly and the options are easy to understand.

There are glitches though and quite often, and within the same game, you can be presented with the same question as your opponent. Its repeat rate, considering it has 1000 questions is very short and can therefore be rather annoying.

There are two levels of difficult, but if you pick the harder level you get more points - so you can make up ground if you need to.

I'm not sure why Empire, being a fantastic magazine, put its name to a product that, for them, would be considered sub standard. There is a sense that, since the premier film magazine in the country has its name to it, it must be good. Don't believe that!

All that said, if your up for a little fun, it will kill a good half hour for you but don't expect it to be as well used as your trivial pursuit game or indeed scrabble and monopoly!!!

From as little as £5 on Amazon Marketplace, it may be worth a go, but certainly no more, and not up to the highest price I found of £`15.99
