★★☆☆☆
Wonderful game idea - Lacking good software
1. It took 30 minutes to get it out of the box. If you don't want to save the box, you can get it open much quicker. I wanted to save the box for storage, but it's not worth the trouble. 2. I was really disappointed to see that this uses composit video to connect to your TV. The lowest grade connection! And this has to connect between your VCR and TV. After watching "JEOPARDY" in High-Def, its a big downgrade in picture quality. 3. The game starts with the categories being read by Alex Trebec and shown on the big board with the clue values. Then the clue values disappear. The categories are still shown but not which values are available. After you select a category, you are shown the remaining values in that category. Alex Trebek reads the clue and you press your signal button to answer and are given a choice of three answers. A correct answer is rewarded with a green check-mark, a wrong answer with a red X. The interplay with Alex is missing except for reading the question. 4. This game could have been so much more. I guess I am spoiled by playing the games in the special features in movie DVD sets. It wouldn't have taken that much to have added the rest of the interactive experience to this game. This is not the first product this company has released (MGA is part of SONY) that was crippled by it's software. Hi-Def DVR Sony DHG-HDD500, SONY RM-AX4000 Integrated Remote Commander are great ideas looking for good software.
