Jeopardy - PlayStation 2

Offering the most realistic adaptation of Jeopardy you can get, Atari faithfully re-creates the game in complete detail. Besides the fact that you can play alone and with others (much more fun this way), some other mildly interesting options were thrown in the mix.Players can take sample exams that are given to prospective contestants vying to be on the show. Although not connected to game play, it will surely test your basic knowledge. During your progress through the game, your statistics will be recorded to include wins and losses, total earnings, best and worst game scores, and your totals of correct and incorrect answers. After achieving a specific amount of winnings, you qualify to participate in Tournament of Champions contests.Although Jeopardy doesn't have difficulty settings as to the trivia questions, they're not really needed. There is a nice mix of questions that range from relatively easy to moderately challenging. For those looking to gain an outright advantage from the start, you can adjust the buzz-in time, response time, and computer I.Q. in the options area.The game designers appeared to have a good plan in mind when they put this game together and it all flows pretty smoothly. Aside from a couple of slow load screens and a mildly annoying full motion video clip of Alex Trebek jumping in and out between question selection screens, game play is straightforward and fun. My only reservation with Jeopardy is the listed 5,200 or so answers. If you play for long, consistent periods of time, you're bound to see repeats of the same categories sooner than you'd like. So far, I'm happy to report that after playing the game with my wife for many hours (we're trivia hounds), we have yet to see any repeated categories or answers.Jeopardy is quite entertaining and is recommended to anyone who likes trivia and thinking games and, of course, to those who are fans of the game show itself.

When buying PS2 pre-owned games, I'm always a littler nervous that it won't work. However!! No problems here!! Any minor issues I have with the game, are with the actual game itself: not Amazon, nor the seller. (For instance, why don't you get to know the answers to the questions, if you're playing a solo game? In solo games, if you get the question wrong, or don't ring in, you are not told the correct answer. Us single people want to know the answers too!! lol) Thank you for a great order!!

bought this to play with my wife, because we love watching jeopardy together, but always wish we could keep score. it's fun to play, but no thanks to the game itself. the menus, animations, and details of gameplay are worse than some video games i played in the late 1990s. gameplay is slow, with the most awkward cut-in animations of Alex saying things like 'your turn, player 2' and then staring at the camera for way too long before the game comes back. the whole thing was clearly slapped together to make some quick money off the jeopardy name; there was no effort put into making the game 'good'. actually, the 1996 jeopardy game for PC was a bit better (sadly, that one won't run on Windows 7). all of that said, if you really like jeopardy, you'll probably still enjoy this game enough to buy it, even with its flaws. i recommend it for jeopardy fans; just don't expect anything too fancy.

It's very decent

This game is alright. The first thing that really annoyed me was the fact when you play one player it doesnt give you the answer to the question even if you are wrong. In addition, the computer gives voice recognized answers and you have to type your answers and you have to be exact even if you've changed it in options. Another thing that really irritated me was the fact that the buzzers are retarded.

First off, I love Jeopardy. I've been watching it since I was 13 and now I'm 24. The game is just like the show. You can put it in easy mode with loose spelling accuracy and win every time. I love this game. The championship is very hard even if it is in easy mode. I have only managed to win the championship once. One small problem is that some of the catagories repeat themselves. That makes the game too easy if you have a photographic memory like do. It is still an exellent game though. A must buy for trivia buffs. I am ready for any other versions that are available.

This thing is brand new in shrink wrap. Widely recognized as the best jeopardy game ever made, and I agree. No multiple choice if you don't want it, you can even set how strict it is on the spelling of answers. Plenty of questions.

The only thing that I can say negatively about this game is Alex Trebec. All his small "cameo" appearances are annoying, and it is nice that you can hit the "start" button to skip them. Also, the computer only seems to answer the top dollar questions, but all in all, a great game.

awesome rec on time in great shape 5 out of 5

It's Ok but kinda glitchy and I'd rather play along with the TV.

Kids loved it!
