Game types, or categories, are simple and fun. Some we liked better than others, but this is subjective and will depend upon the varying tastes of the people playing the game. Suffice it to say, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Nov 06, 2007  Lights, Camera, Action is shipped with four new wireless Big Button Pads, so each player has his or her own buzzer. Making games such as Scene It? More approachable for all types of players, the Big Button Pad takes its inspiration from the game show buzzers of yesteryear but uses the latest infrared technology to minimize the chances of an argument over who answered first. Lights, Camera, Action brings friends and family together for a casual movie trivia game that everyone can play and enjoy. Using the simple and intuitive Big Button Pad, challenge your friends to see whose movie knowledge reigns supreme, with real content from your favorite movies and actors.

There are picture jumbles that slowly come into focus and depict a classic scene from a film. There are also movie clips and sound clips that test your film knowledge. In some cases, you'll have to name the movie, know the year it was made, or make simple observations about what you saw.

There are also stills where a telltale object, actor, or animal has been left out of the scene. You then have to decide what was missing from the picture.I also really liked the game type known as 'Credit Roll.'

It has you divine the correct movie by giving you a series of hints that could apply to a number of different movies. It is not until you've been given enough clues that you can successfully decide on which movie it actually is.

As you can see, the modes of play are varied and quite fun. In fact, there are 1800 total questions divided between 21 question types that do a great job of testing your grasp on movie trivia. An additional boon to the series is the fact that the questions are tracked by the Xbox 360. As a result, you will rarely see the same question twice. Better still is the prospect of future downloadable content that will keep the game infinitely fresh. As I mentioned previously, the presentation is rather hokey.

The visuals are so simple and cheesy that it looks like a flash game you might have posted on your MySpace page. Fortunately, the visuals have no real bearing on gameplay and so this is really a non-issue.

Disappointingly, the movie clips are supposed to be shown in HD, but they do not look crisp at all. Even if they are outputted in HD as the developer claims, the maximum graphical quality is 720p which is not full HD. I suppose it is better than the 480i or 480p that your standard DVD kicks out, but the images really don't seem to be any better. Additionally, the sounds are decent, but not great. The sound clips are easily understood, but the music and commentary are cheesy at best.

The voice and comments of the host are particularly annoying and repetitive. It is probably best to provide your own sound track and conversation and turn the in-game sounds off. Heck, it's a party anyway, isn't it?Don't expect this game to knock your socks off. However, it is the best Scene It? Released to date for any platform, and it will easily replace the DVD versions you might own. The inclusion of the Big Button Pad controllers probably makes it worth the $60 price tag. However, there isn't $60 worth of quality gameplay in the title alone.

Fortunately, additional downloadable content, and automatic question tracking will keep gameplay fresh and re-playability high. This is by no means the best game out there, but you will have fun with family and friends.

This is the perfect game for Thanksgiving evenings and lazy Friday nights when you don't feel like facing the crowds or spending the $50 on dinner and a movie.ByJonathan MarxCCC Freelance WriterFeatures:. New puzzle challenges: The Xbox 360 game includes more than 1,800 questions not seen before in any other Scene It? It features five new types of puzzle challenge that are sure to keep you guessing all night long.

In addition, all 21 puzzle types have been designed to provide the ultimate multiplayer experience on Xbox 360. Big Button Pad: Scene It?

Lights, Camera, Action is shipped with four new wireless Big Button Pads, so each player has his or her own buzzer. Making games such as Scene It?

What better way to start a review of a movie quiz game than. Wait, we did that a month ago for the. We liked that game, you may recall, but suggested it might be best to see how Microsoft's rival movie quiz game turned out. Well, it's here.Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action is Buzz! For Xbox 360, in essence.

It comes with four Big Button Pads (they're actually called that) and an infra-red dongle which plugs into a 360 USB port and has a nice long cable. There are more than 1800 questions, and the 360 tracks which ones are asked to prevent repetition.Just like Buzz!, you can choose a short (about 25 minutes) or long (about an hour) game.

There's also a party mode where you can keep answering questions indefinitely. If you've got less than four players you have to wait for the clock to tick down even after you've all answered, tediously.The best thing about party mode is it dispenses with the worst thing about the regular game. If you think Buzz!' S stupid computer-generated Australian is a., wait till you meet Mr Scene It. Although you don't exactly get to meet him as he exists only in the form of an irritating voiceover. He claims to be a movie producer.

When the game begins he announces, 'This is my studio where I make great movies,' and the camera swoops around a movie lot that looks like it was drawn in 1997. Scene enough e) What happened to Bertie for spelling Wahlberg wrong the other day.The rubbish and entirely unnecessary premise is that Mr Scene It is 'always looking for new talent' and somehow wants to evaluate yours by asking you movie trivia questions. During the course of the game you are taken to locations such as the screenwriters' trailer and test screening cinema to be asked said questions.Mr Scene It pops up between every round to reel out movie-related cliches, trite observations about how the game is progressing and appalling jokes. 'I hope you have a good memory because mine's.

What was I just talking about?' No one cares, Mr Scene It.You'll spend most of your time in the cinema, watching HD movie clips and answering questions on them. The questions are either about the film ('What is the name of John Cusack's character?'

) or require Krypton Factor-style observation skills ('How many chairs were behind John Cusack?' ).Scene It features clips from more obscure films as well as blockbusters and from both old and new movies. The highlight of the entire game is the clip from Working Girl (yes, 'I have a head for business and a body for sin.'

Why Rupert won't allow that to be printed on business cards is anyone's guess).The movie clip rounds don't quite work. The movie clips feel like they go on too long, especially the ones which are from boring films and/or feature Meryl Streep.

Sitting in a room silently with four other people watching 90 seconds of a film is not the most fun in the world, even in high definition. Each time a movie clip round pops up, which happens an awful lot, some momentum from the game is lost. Round up One of the more imaginative rounds has you trying to recognise actors from their high school yearbook photos.At least there are plenty of other rounds to be getting on with. Highlights include Drawing Board, where an image representing a film is scribbled, Pictionary-style, on-screen, and you have to buzz in and guess the movie. Then there's the round where you're shown a film poster with the text and main components missing and have to guess what it's for. The audio clip round sees you identifying which films the clips are from.There are also some boring rounds, like the one where you have to put movies in order of release or answer questions about how many films Nicole Kidman's been in and so on. And some rounds feature a dreadful mechanic where the person who buzzes in first is given the remaining time on the clock to pick their answer, while other players must look on.

It quickly descends into a competition to see who's best at pressing the big button rather than who knows most about films.It's a shame you can't customise the types of rounds in your game, as with Buzz! Hollywood, but at least there's plenty of variation in round types and the game does a decent job of mixing them up.There's one aspect of Scene It which gives it an advantage or a disadvantage over Buzz! Hollywood depending on your perspective. Is clearly meant to be a game the whole family can play, and as a result the questions won't tax movie fans even if you've selected the hard option.

Scene It is tougher, with harder questions about more obscure movies and actors, and will therefore be enjoyed more by film buffs.The game does try to balance it out with elements like the observation questions in the movie clip rounds. There's also a fun mechanic which awards extra points at the end of rounds for things like getting three questions in a row right or buzzing in first a certain number of times. This levels the playing field a bit, but not enough to prevent the buffs winning hands-down in the end. Spot the difference The fitness, as Roots Manuva would say.So, what's better, Buzz! Hollywood or Scene It? Well, they have plenty in common.

In each game there's too much mucking about between rounds. Is hosted by an irritating, unfunny Australian; Scene It is hosted by an irritating, unfunny American.Buzz! Looks a bit naff and nineties, but so does Scene It. We were hoping for something a bit SingStar in style, all sharp colours and clean lines. We got a silly premise, horrible visuals and a jarring rock-jazz-lift muzak soundtrack that makes the Pearl and Dean theme sound like it was written by Elgar. Has 3200 more questions than Scene It, but Scene It has wireless controllers.We're going to cop out and give Scene It the same score we gave Buzz! Hollywood because they both have plus and minus points.
