Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action!



Microsoft jumps on the party trivia game bandwagon with their "Buzz!" imitator, "Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action!" from the successful DVD-based board game of the same name. Unabashedly ripping off of the "Buzz!" control scheme, "Scene It?" also comes with four of its own Big Button Controllers that allow players to ring in to answer any of more than 1,800 movie-based trivia questions. The Big Button Controllers are also wireless, which is a nice change from the octopus-styled confusion of the "Buzz!" wired controllers.



Though "Scene It?" is satisfying for movie lovers and uses High Definition film clips and screenshots in many of its questions, it leaves non-movie buffs out in the cold. With only movie trivia available, "Scene It?" pales in comparison to the more diverse topics that are featured in "Buzz!," doesn't come close to the same level of fun and presentation that "Buzz!" has, and is $20 more than "Buzz!" Still, its the only option for Xbox 360 owners who want to get their trivia on. That, or actually break out the original board game and play all analog, but who wants to do that? Here's to hoping that the Big Button Controllers are used in a more thoroughly flushed out trivia game in the near future-
