Wow, I thought the reviews were kidding, but this game is a giant step backwards for the franchise. I really enjoyed the previous Scene It a lot, and was looking forward to this game in spite of the puzzling low scores -- this game is so bad I don't know where to begin!
I was astounded how they got EVERYTHING wrong in this game from the presentation to the actual gameplay!
1. There is no option to use your XBL avatar.
2. Pointless & amateurish animations between segments that have nothing to do with the game, characters, or questions.
3. Flawed game mechanics (the half thought-out star system?!)
4. Unbalanced gameplay -- I had to sit through a ten question marathon on Evan Rachel Wood movies? You can laugh, I did, most of the specialized question rounds are two or three questions long. It may have been fifteen questions about her... all I know is it went on forever!
And then personal aesthetics: the character models looked like 3-D rush-jobs, and the host's shtick was gut-churningly skippable!
Everything about this game reeked of cheap!
Don't even bother with this one. It's not worth the disc it's burned on. Play 1 vs. 100 for some value for money. Or the previous title in the series. Or even Buzz on the PS3... anything else! Really!
