YOU DON'T KNOW JACK


by Jay "THE FLEA" Wade

The best party game has arrived on Playstation. And if you don't know what game I'm talking about you don't know jack. YDNJ has been out for the PC for a long time. And had about 7-8 versions. Finally PSX owners can see if they know Jack.

For those who never played YDNJ, it's a trivia game with a twist. You answer really weird questions and figure out a answer that makes the most sense.
But what really makes this game a blast is the host. He'll insult you, praise you even MAKE you answer a question if your in the lead by a large amount.

Three players answer trivia questions in categories that will make you roll your eyes or laugh hard. The your given a multiple choice of answers and if your the first to buzz in you can get the money or lose your money. You can also screw your opponents and make them answer the question. But watch out. If the get the right answer your screwed.

There are also special questions. Dis or Dat, Three way and Jack Attack. The only one that was cut from the PC version is "Gibberish Question". I can see why it was. It would be tough to type a whole sentence by scrolling one letter at a time in less the twenty seconds.
I also miss that you can enter your name. I have no clue why this was cut from the game. And the way the host would name you something weird if you didn't answer him.

The sound of this game is better then most real life game shows. and at the and of the game there are adds that are a must to listen to. Adds like; Xenora, Bible action figures or the splash guard.

The graphics are done well, but don't expect fancy polygons. It mostly fun logos and Text. So if your looking for a party game to play with all your friends and have a good laugh along the way I highly recommend this game. But if your stuck on a lot of fancy graphics then You Don't Know Jack!
