You Don't Know Jack (Video Game Review)

You Don't Know Jack is a game show themed video game series that dates all the way back to its initial release in 1995. The series has been featured across numerous platforms over the years, and the game recently won best social game at the 2012 Video Game Awards. Now, developer Jellyvision Games and publisher Berkeley Systems have brought the hit title to iPad and iPhone with new features for the release including more ads, achievements, categories, questions and online multiplayer for up to 6 players, and it makes a great game to play over the holiday break if Santa didn't bring you the games you was wanting for Christmas.

You Don't Know Jack is a tricky trivia game that is equal parts pop culture knowledge, humor and deceiving questions. Host Cookie Masterson returns in the new title to provide hilarious commentary and set the mood for the funniest game show you've ever seen. The humor of the game is smart and discrete so that you can play with your family or friends and still have a good time. Part of the difficulty of You Don't Know Jack lies in the wording of the questions rather than actually knowing an answer to the question. Most people who will play the game can tell you the name of the entire Twilight series, but less will correctly tell you which also doubles as a naturally occurring event in nature when the pressure to answer quickly for maximum points is on the line. It's the fun nature of the game that makes the series one of the most loved of all-time and a perfect reason to try out the game for free today.


There are a variety of categories for questions in You Don't Know Jack including normal question and answer format, lightning rounds, this or that answers and more. Each category offers up a different challenge, and the iOS release comes packed with more categories and questions than ever before. The game is also easily accessible, since it can be played across multiple platforms with friends including special connectivity to Facebook. Your friends can join in on the fun, or you will be matched with up to five other players from around the world. A great presentation culminates with great controls that make the game easy for experienced gamers and casual gamers to enjoy alike and lag free servers that didn't see any bugs during our testing session. You Don't Know Jack is a highly entertaining game that deserves your attention.
