Now put down the mouse and pick up the die because it’s time for me to roll on out. Cheesy? You’re damn straight it is! 30 Xbox Nation MagazineLacks polish, underwhelms, pales in comparison to the board game that inspired it. [June 2004, p.88] 51 metacriticBased on 11 critics. n/a User ScoreBased on 2 user reviews. 50 Cheat Code CentralIt seems obvious to me that the videogame version lost some of its excitement in the translation. Whatever the developers added to compensate just doesn't work. 40 eToychest Lives up to the name of Trivial Pursuit in every way except for it's limited question bank. It's a glaring flaw that's hard to overlook. Flash and Unhinged modes are fun and provide a fresh take on the game, but repeated questions will take the wind out of any game's sails. 50 Game InformerThe worst thing about this title is that there are no dowloadable questions, so you can run out fast. I also don't know why they didn't make use of all the different Trivial Pursuit editions out there. [Aug 2004, p.96] 47 GameSpot So the big question is, "Does Trivial Pursuit Unhinged improve upon the actual Trivial Pursuit experience?" The answer is a resounding "No."...That there are far fewer questions in Unhinged than in your average Genus Edition doesn't help.

Many feet are there in a fathom?” (answer: 6).Themed gamesThemed games have become particularly popular with Trivial Pursuit fans. There are dozens of pop culture themed games such as “Friends,” “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Harry Potter,” Warner Brothers cartoons and “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” There are also broader genres such as the 2000s, Horror Movies, Classic Rock and Greatest Hits. For the game’s 40th anniversary, manufacturer Hasbro released a version that uses premium components such as transparent ruby wedge pieces. What to look for in a quality Trivial Pursuit gameQuick playIf you want a faster way to play, or just don’t have the space, look for a game with Quick Play. This mode doesn’t use the standard game board, but relies on just the question cards. For example, in the “Harry Potter” Edition, you draw cards from a stack to answer questions. If it's correct, you get to keep your card. Once you’ve collected six cards, you’ve won the game. This game type is great for road trips where you don’t have the space to set out a full board. Age-appropriate questionsLook for Family Editions and Kid Editions if you want age-appropriate gameplay. These questions are much different than standard Trivial Pursuit cards. If it’s in the Entertainment category, it’ll focus on children’s TV shows and animated movies made recently. If you want an entire game with these questions, look to the Nickelodeon Edition or Family Edition. Each Trivial Pursuit box has a recommendation on the lid so you can

For out of print versions, you should be aware of scammers. Trivial Pursuit games are generally not worth that much. When Trivial Pursuit first gained popularity, the manufacturers didn’t want to leave anyone behind. They printed enough versions for everyone. Trivial Pursuit was never rare to begin with. There are many editions circulating the internet and your local thrift stores.Don’t buy a game that seems overpriced! I can almost guarantee that you can find a more appropriately priced alternative from a different seller on Amazon or Ebay. Ebay tends to have even lower prices than Amazon. It’s a great source of used board games for cheap. You’ll easily find out of print editions for just a few bucks on Ebay!Happy Shopping!You will have no troubles purchasing a new edition of Trivial Pursuit. You can find Trivial Pursuit games in Walmart, Target, and ToysRUs, as well as certain bookstores and board game shops. Amazon is incredibly convenient because the game can be delivered right to your house. If you have Amazon Prime, you can enjoy the quickest delivery and play your game only a few hours after you’ve placed your order. Looking for vintage editions that are out of print is a bit more difficult, but also a lot more fun! When you’re shopping for used games online, you are not guaranteed that what you receive will look like the pictures. The box might be torn up, with cards and tokens missing. Collector’s editions might be unnecessarily overpriced, and you still have no guarantee of the quality. If you’ve got some time on your hands and don’t have a specific preference, shop around! Visit your local thrift stores and garage sales. Sooner or later, you will run into the Trivial Pursuit edition of your dreams. It might be missing a few

Is? Going online with trivial pursuit is simple. After your network settings are in order, players are ready to either host or join a game. Classic and Flash modes offer online play for up to six people while unhinged supports four players. All of the options from the one player game are available for these modes as well. We chose to join a game and set all of the filters to "any," meaning that we were ready for trivia competition under any conditions. After a minute of searching we were presented with a one-on-one unhinged match and the battle of wits began. One problem with Trivial Pursuit in general is that if one player goes on a role of correct answers other players are left twiddling their thumbs. Plenty of twiddling ensued when we were matched up against a trivia savvy competitor in an unhinged match. Betting bonus points provides a slight distraction, but unless you are personally familiar with an online competitor, betting is based only on the difficulty of the question. It takes too long to amass enough bonus points to do serious damage to an opponent's game. Online play also supports the USB headset in classic and flash modes. Because no part of Trivial Pursuit Unhinged requires teamwork, the headset's sole purpose is for trash talking. In a game of wits, the psychological value of degrading your opponents can be immeasurable. Graphics The menus in Trivial Pursuit Unhinged are bare, boring, and generally uninteresting. For a more in depth description look up "dull" in a thesaurus. The game boards for every mode are shiny three dimensional renditions of the classic Trivial Pursuit board. In unhinged mode there are some small effects to indicate special board spaces. Nothing special here, but it gets the job done. The multimedia questions add a little variety to the mix although some of the video clips are a little grainy. Sound There are rudimentary sound effects and some repetitive synthesized background music. Don't bother paying any attention to either of them. The only reason to keep the sound on at all is for the celebrity hosts who read each question. Hosts include Terry Bradshaw, Brooke Burke, John Cleese, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Nye, and John Ratzenberger. They will add their personality into the questions and comment on the quality of player's answers. Some of the audio clips are pretty amusing. For example Bill
