Editorial Review

Scene It? The DVD Movie Game is for the film buff what a double-fudge brownie sundae is for the chocoholic. Players take turns moving around the game board and answering challenges, which usually take the form of trivia questions--about movies, of course. Questions are culled from either a box of cards, much like Trivial Pursuit, or from onscreen prompts that follow movie clips. The included DVD is loaded with snippets from recent movies, although the occasional classic sneaks in too. Multiple questions are asked about each clip--identify the title of the movie, name actors in the scene, recall some minor detail--so that even when the clips begin to repeat, it will take some time before questions do too. (Subsequent DVDs are also said to be in the works.) The game board, which looks like a cross between an accordian and a film reel, can be folded out to accommodate longer games or closed up for shorter ones. Scene It? was definitely built to be a party game, and another advantage of the DVD is that there's no need to explain the rules. Instead, just press play and hope that everyone simmers down enough to pay attention. Plus, the hokey music and neon "You Are a Winner" screen that ends the game is certain to send those individuals who like winning a bit too much--and you know who you are--into an absolute frenzy. --David Morel

It can be fun - Reviewed on 2008-06-18

It can be fun if you have a room full of movie buffs. It is not much fun for only 2-3 people and once you hear the answer, you tend to remember so the next time you play you have the advantage.

My family entertains a lot at our house, and usually we fall back to games such as Pictionary, Tribond, etc. We received this as a Christmas present from our neighbors and it has been probably the best game we've played with a group. Everyone gets into it and there are questions for people that like all different sorts of movies ranging from the oldies (black and whites) to more recent releases. Even if you're not a big movie watcher, there are questions for you! Wonderful game, glad someone thought of it!

I played this game this weekend with college aged friends and we had fun. The questions arent that hard. Some of the DVD questions are annoying, like the pictograms. A fun game to entertain you for a few hours.

Scene It? is a lot of fun and the DVD angle is a nice twist to the typical trivia game. We had a great time playing it. I found many of the questions fairly easy, but I'm a pretty serious movie buff. The good thing about that is everyone - movie buff or not - has a good chance of winning. Plus there are plenty of questions that were designed in such a way that you didn't have to see the movie to get them. We did notice that after a few plays we started to get the same questions on occasion. But the main complaint I have with this game and other movie trivia games like it is that you just go around a board answering questions. I recently played a pretty good game called ReelGenius where trivia was involved, but your goal was to make a movie, earn box office cash and win awards. That was pretty fun too, because of the strategy element. But no question, if you like movies - and you have a good group of friends together -- you'll have a great time playing Scene It!

This game is too difficult for a casual moviegoer. Even if you're Roger Ebert, the questions are inane and the "chance" cards seem tacked on at the last minute. After one go-around, you'll find you and your friends sitting around watching all the clips on the DVD.
