"Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action" - First Thoughts

"Scene It?" is a well-known DVD game where players answer questions about movies from famous quotes to answering questions about a movie clip. The DVD game has become so popular, special editions have been made for certain series and films (such as Friends and James Bond). Now, Microsoft are using the license for "Scene It?" to make a family-friendly game to enjoy this Christmas.

The basic idea of "Scene It?" LCA is to answer a series of themed and general knowledge movie trivia questions, linked to a series of clips from movies. You're probably thinking, "Haven't I played this before?" Well, "Scene It?: Lights Camera Action" is simply a very similar version to the PlayStation 2's series "Buzz!". They both have specially made controllers, lots of questions, movie clips and great mutliplayer value. The game takes you to different parts of a studio, to answer different questions in different categories. There are twenty categories which are full of different question types such as "What's missing?" and "Finish the quotes". You answer three questions in each category before going onto the next one. Some categories require players to buzz in using the big button on the remote or the D-Pad on the controller, and then to select the answer using A, B, X or Y on the controller or remote.

"Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action" looks promising and fun, but it seems the novelty side of it won't last as long as we hoped or the single player, but get a few friends round and you'll be laughing at each others movie trivia. The demo is available on the Marketplace right now!
