While there are several other game modes that come along with Classic (Facts & Friends was a fun way to totally overestimate the knowledge of the people you’re playing with), its extremely stutter and the new-age graphics are rough. In terms of how this game runs, that’s another story. Its an otherwise small issue that’s not too notable. For instance, you might get a pop-culture question that asks you where someone was born, which is fair, but trying to choose the right place seems like a coin toss even if you know the answer. My only gripe with the questions is that some of them have a map feature that’s incredibly clunky. Over the six categories to choose from, there are thousands of different questions that would take you well over 30 games to experience (and that’s a lowball number which is still a LOT of Trivial Pursuit to play). Setting my knowledge-centric shortcomings aside, I was pleased with the consistent variety among the questions you could receive. Regardless, there are plenty of new age questions that actually do incorporate some of this knowledge into the categories, certainly much more than past versions have.


Unfortunately, I’m usually not that guy – most of my useless knowledge lies in the realm of other video games. The design of this game stays true to all its predecessors, incorporating all forms of sports, historical, and pop-culture based trivia where anyone can potentially win. What can I really say about the core idea of the game? Its still all about being that guy in the room that has the most disposable knowledge.
