   YDKJ returns with flying colors. If you haven't ever heard of You Don't Know Jack, you're in for a real treat. The game combines witty humor combining general and pop-culture knowledge into something challenging yet hilarious. The writing really shines here and the host/cast really work the content. I often found myself laughing so hard I couldn't read the question. Great for lonely gamers and party-ers alike. And best of all, it's only 30 smackers. You won't be disappointed.… Expand

   To start off this review, I'm going to address the elephant in the room that the PC version of this edition of YDKJ has: that's right, the limitations in multiplayer and the lack of DLC support (not helped by the tweets I've read about). Yes, this is precisely the reason I'm not giving this game any higher than a 7. It's been two years since this game came out, THQ is dead and Jellyvision went on make a Facebook app for this game, so there's no chance of this getting an update, or at least not much of one, sadly.
   
   Okay, with that out of the way, it still can be pretty enjoyable, although I've heard that the older versions are particularly better, and I have seen gameplay footage of the older versions (and I personally hope to get them at some point in time). At 73 "episodes" lasting around 10-12 minutes each, there are plenty of questions to get to every now and then alone or with a friend, and there's still some good humor although some jokes can fall flat, but based upon what I've seen of the older games, it felt more simplified.
   
   To anyone at Jellyvision, at a quite unlikely event that you'll come across this review, and if you are contemplating another retail release, all I ask is that the PC version of that next edition at least include online multiplayer, support for controllers/additional keyboards and DLC support. Not saying it should be superior to a console version in any way, but I'd really appreciate it if PC ports are not watered down.… Expand

   By including only 2-player support for the PC version along with zero DLC and - to a lesser extent (because it's not as good as having mates playing together in the same room), no on-line play, Jellyvision pretty much alienated a huge number of their existing fans. ~~~
   
   I UNDERSTAND that the adjusted format makes it tough to fit everyone around a single keyboard - but there are NUMEROUS solutions that would have been really easy to implement. Let us plug in gamepads! Or let us customize the keys! Jeez, for a fraction of the cost of the game, we could buy a second keyboard and have them both plugged in simultaneously. All of the above would have been really easy to add, so their absence just comes across as complete contempt for their PC customers. ~~~
   
   As a person who's happily purchased 7 or 8 YDKJ titles in the past, I'm sadly passing this one by. I haven't given this the lowest rating possible because the quality of the content seems to be a good return to form - but I do hope that a revised edition some day gets released for PC - one which I'll once again happily buy. Until then, there are plenty of other titles that I'll be buying instead (and I'll potter about on YDKJ: The Ride, if the urge really takes me). ~~~
   
   It's been said by others - and now it'll be repeated by me: a party game for just two players is no party.… Expand

   Essentially this port suffers from PC apathy. The 2 player limit on the PC port misses the point of the YDKJ series entirely, and the lack of DLC really hurts the game's longevity. Ultimately, this comes off as a quick and dirty attempt to get a few bucks out of PC gamers who heard good things about the game's console release.… Expand
