You Don't Know Jack

You Don't Know Jack Review

Years ago -- long before games like Buzz! Quiz World and Scene It? were popping up -- You Don't Know Jack was on PCs and pushing trivia with sarcastic sexual innuendos. Now, You Don't Know Jack is back, but its DS version is marred by a limited number of episodes and lackluster multiplayer options. The gameplay itself is fun and entertaining, but the DS stumbles overall. The concept of You Don't Know Jack is simple enough. One or two players sit down to answer 10 questions followed by a bonus round. You're presented with multiple choice questions and hit the right button. Most of the time, the faster your answer, the more dollars you win or lose depending on whether or not you're correct. What separates You Don't Know Jack from other quiz games is the way the material is presented. Each question has a goofy intro that usually involves a dancing number and the questions are asked by a sarcastic voice known as Cookie Masterson. Some rounds quiz you on whether a phrase is a former Pope's name or a Britney Spears song, and others have you deciding if LEGOs or Eggos came first.
