After 3 days of reviewing Family Feud, we actually came across another one of those TV game show based games with the sequel to JEOPARDY! And since I don’t think that Sony Online Entertainment and Newrosoft are very creative with names, they aptly went with the obvious and went with JEOPARDY! 2. Plain and simple, but I guess that name gives emphasis on branding though.

JEOPARDY! 2 plays just like your average Jeopardy game that people had watched over and over again on TV for over 40 years (according to Wikipedia). Unlike Family Feud III, this Brain Teaser game doesn’t include much variety with any other gimmick, but rather a straightforward trivia based contest that you can play over and over again against the computer or with your friends. And since the TV show is dubbed “America’s Favorite Quiz Show”, frankly, I can never see why. But there’s more to that later in the review. :-P

Some features of the JEOPARDY! 2 game include a character creation module that lets you design your own avatar depending on your visual preferences. The game lets you play with up to 3 players too, and this comes in handy whenever you want to have your friends join in on the fun. But for me, the best feature of this sequel is the Trophy system, rewarding you with in-game awards when you get to fulfill certain criteria’s needed for each trophy.

The Review

In terms of graphics, I can really say that JEOPARDY! 2 gets a really high grade even from the avatar design only. The game play is very smooth and simple and I liked how you are given a total of 4 choices for each trivia question. In fact, I was thinking that if I’m not given any choices, I can never even answer a single $200-point question. So I really find the multiple choice feature of this game as godsend and I bet you’ll find it exactly like that too. :-P

What’s odd about this game though is the absence of music. I know that the actual Jeopardy game is just like that, but in my opinion, it just doesn’t cut it when it comes to making PC games. It’s like icing on sponge cake… there’s texture but it really won’t taste good, and I don’t like my cakes without icing… well, do you? Just try the single player mode and you’ll see what I mean.

I really loved the multiplayer option but I really don’t get it why the computer players never miss a single question. The easy ones will sometimes skip a question but whenever he chooses to answer, it will be always right. I’m guessing that the AI is not that good, either that or I’m just pissed off for not being able to answer any of the questions myself. :-D

Maybe you guys could just try JEOPARDY! 2 out yourselves because I can’t really go on making a bad review out of casual games.
