It seems impossible to imagine that there’s anyone in the world (who isn’t employed by Microsoft) that could possibility try and talk about this game without instantly referring to the PlayStation 2’s Buzz! series. In fact if the Scene It? name hadn’t been licensed from the popular range of board games Microsoft probably would’ve been on the receiving end of a few stern letters from Sony’s lawyers. As it is the game’s main gimmick, that it comes with four special game show buzzer controllers, is identical to Buzz! They even look exactly the same, although Microsoft has got the extremely shaky defence that the Buzz! games have never been released in America.
If you’ve not played the original board and DVD game version of the concept the basic idea is that you are presented with a series of themed and general knowledge movie trivia questions, many linked to a series of clips from the respective movies. The game comes with over 1,800 questions and more than 20 styles of puzzle. These include trying to complete a famous movie quote, guessing a movie title from a partial list of credits and working out a movie’s name based on a child’s drawing.
Using the buzzers insure that no one can get intimidated by the regular Xbox 360 joypad, with the giant buzzer at the top used to cut in when you think you’ve got the answer and the four smaller buttons used for answering multiple choice questions. It’s not a new idea then, but still a very entertaining one.
