Trivial Pursuit

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are plenty of good trivia questions, but this is a flawed port of the classic board game.

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