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

   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 humorYDKJ 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

While the menus and options are sparse, none of that really matters since the game is so fun and easy to pick up and play. Each question is worded in such a way that it is just as difficult to figure out what the question is as it is to come up with the correct answer. Online multiplayer and built in tracking of which rounds you've already played only add to the replay factor. Add in constant DLC and this game is a no brainer at $30.… Expand

   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 orA 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

   For those that often find themselves entertaining guests, You Don't Know Jack is an excellent choice for those of us that truly don't mindFor those that often find themselves entertaining guests, You Don't Know Jack is an excellent choice for those of us that truly don't mind being proven how little we know in the world of trivia. YDKJ has all the typical elements you'd come to expect in a game that is modeled after a game show. Players are contestants that participate in three rounds of answering trivia questions. Depending on how quickly you buzz in, and the rules of the round, you'll be awarded (or lose) points accordingly. Questions in this game tend to focus on pop culture while also throwing in some more academic topics. Sorry sports enthusiasts, but you won't find many questions here. The real charm of the game comes from the host's commentary and the positively inane 'personality' of the game. Some of the jokes sink a bit into the immature/overdone category, but the game almost seems to revel in knowing this. The game has several hours of voice dialogue and it's use of video and audio provides for a very entertaining experience.
   
   YDKJ thrives as a multiplayer experience, with players given the option to 'screw' each other during the round. There is also online gameplay, but I wouldn't recommend it until you've played through every episode at least once. Unfortunately, like all trivia games, YDKJ suffers from the unfair advantage given to players that have played any particular episode before as the questions don't change. So, replay value is restricted a bit by this aspect. Additionally, unless you're a big trivia fan or simply a fan of the franchise, I can't see myself playing the game single player.
   
   As previously mentioned, YDKJ is a great game for entertaining guests that aren't overly opposed to trivia-style games. Each round is quick and even losing can be very entertaining. It's also very easy for non-gamers to pick up. If this sounds like the game for you and your family/friends, then pick it up and see if you really 'don't know Jack.'… Expand
