Rating: - Very Interesting!
I found this DVD game to be a lot of fun. Yes, it can be frustrating when you accidently stumble into a cul-de-sac by giving a correct but boring answer but if that is enough to frustrate you perhaps you should instead go to bed early with a milky drink forthwith ....
Play along, learn, laugh and enjoy.
Rating: - An immensely enjoyable quiz marred by a fatal flaw.
This interactive quiz is seemingly a great conversion of the show to the DVD game format. The questions are all asked by Stephen Fry in full video, the answers explained in a similar fashion. The writing and performance for all the questions (and the wrong and right answers) are very amusing and interesting, which would make this interactive DVD completely recommendable and an essential purchase.
BUT, the game itself has a fatal flaw built in. There are 7 categories with 50 questions to answer in each. When you get to the end of a category, if you've answered everything correctly, but on one or more questions you've not answered with the most interesting correct answer, you're sent back to do all 50 questions again! There's no indication ... Read More:
Rating: - Quite Interesting and VERY addictive!
I got this for Christmas last year and once I started I felt it EXTREMELY hard to put the DVD remote down once I started playing! It was very satisfying reaching the end, solving the anagram and getting congratulations on the QI website when I typed the correct solution in.
Did you know that there are 8 to 10 thousand known species of grass? That's just one of the many interesting (if not that useful) things you may well learn during your adventure through the 7 'threads' of the game.
The game is both enjoyable to play on your own or with family/friends.
A *must* buy for all QI fans!
Rating: - Quite disappointing
Oh this could have been soooo good.
The TV show is wonderful; this is only interesting for a very short while. Having impossible questions makes this interactive DVD into a random guessing game, complete with 'dead-ends' where a previous question has two correct answers, requiring you to start from the beginning again.
It looks great for about 20 minutes, but then becomes very annoying.
Rating: - Stick with the TV show...
Hmmmm. Well, I love QI, I really do. It's one of my favourite TV shows. However, I know I am not alone in thinking that DVDs containing QI episodes would be a much more worthwhile purchase. Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason, it looks like the series are not going to be released on DVD, so we have to make do with this. Initially I was amused by Stephen Fry's banter and the typically quirky questions. However, I got quickly bored with this game. The questions are so difficult that I found myself guessing randomly every single time. Stephen also has a limited number of responses to getting a question wrong, which quickly gets annoying when you've heard him say "oh no, that's quite wrong," about ten times.
