Summary
The console version of Trivial Pursuit brings the party to the living room TV allowing players to customize the experience with several ways to play.

While Scene It? & Buzz! have delivered the first taste of serious trivia games on consoles, Trivial Pursuit pushes the whole concept further by offering the most complete and challenging videogame based of a board game on the market as of now. Yes, even if the game doesn’t support online play, it remains a great game.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
With thousands of questions across six categories, and the option to purchase downloadable packs on the cheap, this version of Trivial Pursuit won't get old anytime soon. You'll love the game's format, thanks to a multiple-choice set-up, jumping player pieces and single and multiplayer modes.
Read Full Review >IGN
A surprisingly fun and well put-together version of the classic board game of the same name. A couple new modes add variety to the rules we've been playing with for most of our lives, and the console-specific tricks, like picking spots on a map and the use of images, is great. The lack of online can't be forgiven, however.

The bottom line here is that Trivial Pursuit the game is a must-have for fans of the board game.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
A must-have for fans of the board game. The promise of future DLC is invigorating and the sheer amount of content out of the box is already impressive enough.

If you enjoy Trivial Pursuit, this title is a must-have in your collection.
Read Full Review >Gameplanet
This latest Trivial Pursuit title is a great take on the classic board game. Although suffering from a few issues, it still has a lot to offer for armchair trivia veterans and casual enthusiasts alike. Ultimately the success of this game will be tied to the frequency and quality of DLC.

Trivial Pursuit on the Xbox 360 is a pretty well-made digital adaptation of a board game classic. But its flaws are also rather glaring, especially the lack of online play.
Read Full Review >Planet Xbox 360
Trivial Pursuit earns high marks for accessibility and coming up with fresh gameplay ideas for a game older than most 360 owners.

On consoles it's only really for addicts. [May 2009, p.84]
GameZone
This game has a high replay value, looks good, several modes that twist the original game in fun ways, and manages to be a fun experience without doing anything terribly mind-blowing.
Read Full Review >Gamervision
The price point is simply too high for what feels like a substandard product, and there are too games out there that are simply more feature-complete to justify spending more than the price of the board game on this version.
Read Full Review >Multiplayer.it
This version of Trivial Pursuit turns out to be something slightly different from the classic we all got to know through the years, mainly due to the multiple answers structure. The main drawbacks are the poor graphics, no online gameplay and, mainly, the retail price, that we expected to be lower.

Skip all that and go straight to the Facts & Friends mode, a madcap battle where you share one wheel and take turns competing for wedges. It’s too complicated to fully explain here, but there’s betting, mini-games, cool power-ups, and a duel-to-the death finish. It essentially modernizes Trivial Pursuit in an ingenious way, and it’s really the only reason to spend an excessive $40 for this game now, instead of waiting for the inevitable Xbox Live Arcade version.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
There are plenty of good trivia questions, but this is a flawed port of the classic board game.
Read Full Review >MEGamers
Trivial Pursuit is just another example of why some games should stay as board games.

How about pursuing a price drop, EA? [May 2009, p.95]
X360 Magazine UK
A strange one, this. Fun to play with friends for a while, but the questions range from interesting to just plain stupid, and this really should be DLC. That’s what DLC is for!

A cerebral classic with the cerebral removed. A truly trivial pursuit - buy the real game. [June 2009, p.77]

M Wal gave it a5:
A lot more content then we expected, only come across a few repeats while playing it at least once a week but the questions are routinely mis-filed - a question on "History" was asking a "Geography" question. A lot of the sports are about international sports - we're Americans, let stick to American sports and leisure please. My wife inadvertantly chose a non-pleasing avator but there is apparently no way to change it - the "manual" provides no help. And the fancy graphics are fine to being but annoying after the third time yet there is no way to turn them off. Poor production value, poor user interface, dubious questions, poor Quality Assurance - I don't think we'll be buy another product from this group.
