john_malaise's Full Review: You Don't Know Jack Vol. 4 - The Ride for Windows,...
What is the ride ?
Well it's an Elevator Ride of course!
In the newest installment of You Don't Know Jack the game opens with a simple question. Something like "Which did you do first: 1.) Smoke, 2.) Drink". After you enter your answer, it'll take you on "the ride" in the elevator to the appropriate trivia floor.
For example floor 224 might be "pharmacy" where the questions all relate to drugs. Or floor 207 might be "The Dungeon" where all the questions relate to fetishes.
Bringing back our favorite host "Cookie" there are slight differences in this new game. You still get screws which you can use to force your opponent to answer a question you don't think they know, but you shoot dozens of them at the screen to obliterate the answers so your opponent can't see them * grin *.
There's still "Dis or Dat", and the ever (at least at our house) unpopular "Gibberish Question", but they are joined by "road kill".
In road kill you are given to items, things or phrases, and you have to guess what word(s) has to do with both of them as it flashes on the screen. you get $1000 for each correct answer and lose $1000 for each wrong answer. the person who gets the most right also gets the bonus money!
This newest YDKJ seems even a bit more risque' than it's predecessors, so for that reason I would recommend that you sit down and play a few rounds before deciding if it is alright for your youngsters.
After a couple of dozen rounds of play, we still have yet to have any questions repeat. something never has never seemed to be a terribly big problem with the YDKJ games anyways.
They've taken all the best parts from the past, and added even better things! Grade "A" fun all the way!
