MGA Jeopardy DVD Game Base System With Game description
With three buzzers and real-time scoring, Jeopardy! now lets you experience the next best thing to being an in-studio contestant on America's favorite quiz show. The Jeopardy! DVD Home Game System is loaded with 20 original, full-length episodes of the game show that you can play whenever you want. Recommended for ages eight and up, this game will have the whole family -- from kids to great-grandparents -- thinking fast for the most dollars. America's Favorite Quiz Show
Just like the television show, this Jeopardy! game system is hosted by the one-and-only Alex Trebek, who guides players through the three rounds of the game -- Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy, and Final Jeopardy. Designed for one to three players, this fast-paced "answer and question" game provides over 1,200 clues. For the first time ever, this game version of the Jeopardy! even features audio and visual clues presented by the show's "Clue Crew." 
The infrared set-top transmitter and buzzers allow for wireless control of the game. View larger. |  | What We Think

|  | | Rules Of the Game
A player chooses a category and dollar amount from the interactive game board and Alex reads the clue. The reverse of most other games, Jeopardy! players are given the answer, and must in turn provide the correct question. After the answer is read, an onscreen prompt appears, informing contestants they may buzz in with a response. A correct response earns the player the dollar amount of the question, but that same amount is subtracted from a player's score if their response is incorrect. In Double Jeopardy, the amounts of the first round are doubled. Hidden in the first two rounds are special Daily Doubles, which are clues given only to the player who selects one. This contestant can wager any amount of money they've earned so far in the game. In Final Jeopardy, all players wager as much or little of their earnings as they wish on a last and difficult clue that often determines the winner of the game. Using the Buzzers
Instead of saying the question aloud, this home game system allows the first player that presses their hand-held buzzer to choose from three multiple-choice questions. The three durable plastic buzzers rest in a miniature podium -- like the one contestants share on the show. Each buzzer features four buttons: the red "enter" button buzzes in and selects a category; the three blue buttons scroll through categories and select questions. The game DVD also includes a quick visual setup guide for hooking up the game system to your TV and DVD player and programming the buzzers. An included IR set-top transmitter enables the buzzers to be used as remote controls. Each buzzer requires two AAA batteries. What's in the Box

The Answer Is?

When it comes to seeing game shows come alive, board games are unfortunately becoming a thing of the past. With the success of seeing game shows come to DVD within the past few years like The Price Is Right, Deal or No Deal and many others, people want a more interactive appeal to what makes a good board game worth while. As a result, even the big guns decided to give a crack at it. One of the most successful game shows of all time, Jeopardy has been the most honored and dedicated shows to so many viewers across the country. Sadly, the show has been a bit misty lately, since the tragic passing of Merv Griffin, but now can make a home for your DVD player.
Jeopardy on DVD, takes the most interactive game show into the heart of your family. Unlike the other DVD games on the market, this one seems to hit you more in the wallet, than it does in the gameplay. This edition, comes with a special buzzer attachment which you use to ring in, instead of using your DVD remote control, to answer the questions, which takes a lot of energy, and using too many batteries at one time. Still, there is a lot of interactivity Alex Trebek brings quite well to the game, as well as the clue crew, who also gives great clues and fun from all over the world. The question range well from previous episodes of Jeopardy, but can easily die down on boredom soon. What also drags down the game is the price. Because of the special buzzer system, you get more than what you really pay for, which doesn't always add up at all. What they could've done is made an extra set of DVD discs to make the gameplay a bit more interactive. Other than that, you've just wasted more for your money.
All in all, I do adore Jeopardy, but you really should be getting much more fun & excitement, for nearly $50 worth of a DVD game. Instead, I really suggest you find a better version of Jeopardy to play at home with, or just watch the show instead.
