    Jellyvision's developers haven't just lived up to the legacy of the greatest quiz-show game ever made, they've extended it.

    This reinvention of You Don't Know Jack is one of the best the series has had to offer, given all of the new features for this current generation.

    YDKJ marries difficult trivia with excellent presentation, biting humor, and an unpredictability that will make you look forward to every episode.

    All told, this is a game that meets expectations and does absolutely nothing to surpass them.

  1. You Don't Know Jack is an excellent game! It is fun and challenging. I had never played this game in its earlier years and don't know how much is the same, but I loved the dis or dat type questions, and looking for the wrong answer of the game. I played round after round and was impressed with the wittiness of the game, the unique questions, and the unique game elements unlike most trivia games. Totally enjoyed playing this game with my fiancee! He's more the gamer than I am, but I love that he suggested this game! So fun! Expand
  2. A great throwback to YDKJ of days past and Cookie is as irreverent as ever. 790 questions in the base game will give you and your friends or unknown partners online tons of enjoyment with at least 10 DLC packs with 10 episodes each means extended replay value. The wrong answer of the game is a new great idea that if you get a specific wrong answer you get a boost to your score instead of a minus bringing some strategy in that getting the right answer is not always the best way to score. The only real issue I've seen is lag during the infamous Jack Attack leading to just missing those precious $4000. A great trivia game a great party game a game you will not regret owning. It's good to see you back Jellyvision! Expand
  3. The only issue I have with this game, is the rather over the top presentation. The announcer's comments are sometimes genuinely funny, but more often are incredibly cheesy or kind of lame.

    Maybe I don't know funny? I think I do....

    Hate the presentation of this game. Maybe I'm too old (23), but that extreme caricatured style of "THE GAME-SHOW HOST" really alienates me. If they replaced the host with someone less infuriating, I'd enjoy this game a hell-of-a lot more. I guess I just hate fun things. Expand
