Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action

Platform: Xbox 360.
Ostensibly the 360’s mimic of the PS2’s Buzz! Hollywood, Scene it? comes with four wireless big button pads for that ‘i’m on telly in a real quiz show’ feeling.
Featuring 1800 questions, Scene it? is rammed full of trivia to challenge the film buffs out there and keeps track of which ones have been asked to keep things fresh on repeated playthroughs.
Game types range from innovative Pictionary style questions to plain dull ‘guess the order of release dates’ for films you’ve never heard of.
At this point it becomes clear that Scene it? isn’t an ideal family game as many questions go over the heads of the young or casual film watcher although memory based quizzes using film footage help level the playing field.
7/10
