katiec's Full Review: You Don't Know Jack Vol. 4 - The Ride for Windows,...
Be prepared to laugh out loud at some of the questions you get with this game. This game is a blast. Whether you are playing by yourself or with your friends, you will really enjoy this.
YDKJ - The Ride is the the fourth volume in the award-winning series from Sierra On-Line (formerly Berkeley Systems, the screen saver guys). All 5 of the wise-cracking hosts with major attitude are back. And, there are 3 new question types, too.
The game starts by asking you to type in your name. Easy enough - except
sometimes it types in something completely different - like Head Cheese -
for the "Dairy Question" game. Okay - so that might not sound like much fun, but it is.
You are asked to answer a simple question up front to test your moral
character, like "Would you rather go to a gym?" "Or own a gym?" Based your answer (I assume), you get a certain set of questions.
Each person who plays (up to 3, then you'll have to pair up) has a letter on the keyboard that they hit to decide how much each question is worth and to buzz in to answer a question. Questions are in the form of multiple choice, a category called "Road Kill", another category that is sort of like hangman, and other crazy stuff. If you are right, you get some points.
Oh - I can't forget the screws. If several people are playing (and you are feeling evil) you can hit your letter on your keyboard and shoot out screws at the other guy's screen so that after a while s/he can barely read the screen. (If you are really competitive, you'll love this feature).
If you just want to check out the game, you can go to the won.net page and check out the games under the Bezerk heading. This way you can get the whole experience. When you are ready for more, check out the whole game. It takes advantage of your PC's stereo system and is really good fun.
