Description
Turn your PlayStation game console into a party!

You Don’t Know Jack is the quiz show party game where high culture and pop-culture collide. Get the question right and score some cash; get it wrong and pay the price.

  • Get Dual Shock analog controller (vibration mode only) for maximum enjoyment.
     
  • Full game contains over 1400 hilarious questions on 2 CDs. That’s over 35 hours of non-repetitive verbal abuse!

Review
The demo covers a regular 7 question session, allowing for up to 3 players to play. Probably the biggest pull in is the very sarcastic humor found in everything from the host to the background players and announcer. The announcer picks on you, reads questions and answers, and offers his take on your choices from time to time.

However, the biggest issue is actually...the trivia. Many of the questions are set-up using analogies that are more confusing than anything. On the other hand, there are several styles like 3some and Buzz-In that help keep things lively. Interestingly, it uses your Memory Card to store used questions, so that you never repeat.

See the full game feature for the full review.


Triviaa  
  • The PC version of the game broke off into various genres, like Sports Edition releases and the like.
     
  • The Demo Disc is printed in the same manner of a Greatest Hits release; all black flat color with just the unscreened lettering.
     
  • If you were to do the math using what’s listed in the final bullet point of the packaging, it would mean that each question lasts 1.5 minutes! (Truth be told, sometimes it seems longer!)
     
  • If you do not choose a category in several seconds, the announcer will get verbally impatient and picks one for you.
     
  • If you don’t choose the number of players, after two warnings, the host will automatically play three people…except it’s really 3 human players, so if you just sit there, it’ll keep berating you.
