Instead it goes for the broader range, keeping questions simple, and focusing more on cheesier jokes to keep you involved. The questions themselves tend to be on the easy side, especially if you're a music buff, something that this game should basically rely on. It's a great move, because it gives the game a nice variety, rather than if the designers have just tossed everything into bigger R&B, Rap, Folk, and Rock type categories. The range of artists tended to keep pretty fresh as well, such as in a game I played that featured questions tapping Oasis, Smokey Robinson, The Sugarcubes, Pizzicato Five, Great White and Cheap Trick (Cheap Trick!!!). The range of topics is commendable - you've got everything from folk and metal to specialized areas like 60's Pop, 70's Bubble, 80's/90's Rap, New Wave, 70's R&B, and so on. Of course, a quiz game isn't a quiz game without some great questions, and this is where Backstage Pass fumbles and falls. The art design is filled with charm, without the empty blackness of YDKJ. The music cues are great, the art design is really nice, particularly the tiny touches like the passes for your player icon, or the tiny metal chain used as a timer. Maybe you should find healthier ways of showing them up, like driving two wheeled through the Sizzler parking lot.īut is it fun? If you love You Don't Know Jack, this should be familiar territory, and while this game is not a direct sibling, it's at least a sort of bumbling cousin. Basically, if you're playing one player you're a cheater and you should be very, very ashamed of the fact that you're memorizing questions for when your friends come over.
Eat it, Name That Tune! As with YDKJ, you're able to pick between one and three players - two and three really, since there aren't any AI opponents for one player games. The popping text, slamming menu systems, obnoxious hosts and funky button-trigger sounds are all here, as is the basic structure of "listen for a really long time, answer a question, then hear the monologue." Mini-games such as Spot On have you matching similar items, something YDKJ fans should be familiar with, and a cool sub-game has you listening to a track and trying to figure out the artist. You'll be hard pressed to tell the difference from the first few moments, though. What we're left with, then, is a trivia game that sorta kinda maybe feels a lot like a YDKJ: Music Edition, but fails to deliver the final formula.
