IceDove's Full Review: You Don't Know Jack Vol. 4 - The Ride for Windows,...
If you have ever played any of the jack series then you know the basics of this volume. For those unfirmaliar with Jack here's the game in a nut shell.
It requires 2 or more players. The players are asked a series of quetions losely and I do mean Losely based on a catagory. If you answer a player correct you get money if you get it wrong you lose money. Sounds like Jeopardy right. Well it is nothing like that. For one the catorgory are phrased in away to imply something completely different.(usually a little Dirty in Nature). Second there are I guess you can call them Mini-game questions.
The mini-game questions are called Three way, Gidderish Question, Road kill, and Dis or Dat. Three way is a game where all players are given three answers and then asked a series of question .The same three answers will answer the series of questions.the first to buzz in when the answer to the question is highlight get a few points. Gidderish Question is where the player are given a clue that sounds like a phrase.The player have to figure out what the phrase is supposed to be. Money total quickly drops the longer you have to think about it, you are also given a few more clues to help you guess the phrase. Road kill is only on The Ride version of jack(though i think it might be under a different name in other versions. This is where you are given two incomplete words, names, or phrase and the player hve to match the word the will complete them both. For example __bo Peep and __ boy blue. The player would have to buzz in when the word Little flashed on the screen. No Dis or Dat is different from the other games in the fact that it is one player. Who knows how you get picked to play it. It is random (I think). Any way the player is given 2 option like BUG and BAND, they are also given the options of BOTH and SKIP. Then asked a series of questions that they have to answer Bug, Band or Both in a set time limit.Where ant Butterfly would be a BUG and Creed a BAND, Beetles would be BOTH.
on You don't know Jack the Ride there are only 12 questions and the last one is always JACK ATTACK.This is a lot like road Kill. you are given a word and have to match it to another word that will scroll across the screen. (like Box and Match). The Players are given a clue of sorts that will help them pick the correct matches.The clue for the example could have been STARTS FIRE or something like that.
I know i probably didn't explain the game well so sorry. Some things to know about This Version of the Game is that it gets a Lot .. Dirty in some place then the other verisons and I don't mean dirty as in Mud. It does more then insinuate like the other versions did so keep that in mind for young childern.
