SceneIt? Includes 4 Big Button GamePads Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had my doubts about this game -- especially after seeing a picture of the included controllers. However, I stand corrected. This was one of the best game purchases that I've made this year. The game is very fun, and has been a hit with my family. Also, the tracking of the questions/puzzles and the variety of categories makes for an exciting and lasting experience.
For the price of a normal game, you get 4 wireless buzzer controllers, batteries, and a USB wireless controller IR port. Definitely worth it after you consider how much you actually get with the game.
I'm hoping that MS decides to expand the experience in 2 ways: 1) Through downloadable content through their Live service (in the form of new questions or puzzle types) and 2) Creates new trivia games that can utilize the same controller setup.
Scene It! is a pleasant surprise for Xbox 360 gamers who want to add some casual family/friends gaming to their system (especially for those who don't own a Wii). I hope that people buy this game just to show MS that there is a viable market for quality party games on the Xbox 360, and encourages them to release other great trivia titles.

Codemasters and Zoë Mode helps make your big screen dreams come true with You're in the Movies for the Xbox 360. Developed by Zoë Mode -- one of the world's leading independent developers of music, party, and social games -- You're in the Movies combines kitsch with cool to allow you and your friends to step intothe your favorite campy roles, such as scream queen, zombie, or kung fu fighter. Premiering exclusively on Xbox 360 for the 2008 holiday season, You're in the Movies is the perfect choice for casual or group gaming. Prepare yourself to be transported into a magical world of cinema that is amply spiced with plenty of hilarious improvisation.
Capture the Fun with the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera Xbox 360 brings You're in the Movies to life with the Xbox LIVE Vision camera. This device easily connects to your Xbox 360 and captures players' actions in your very own living room. Your actions are then spliced into short, knee-slapping films that highlight the unique and often far-fetched talents of your friends and family. Each performance is certain to incite riotous laughter, but the best part is you'll never run out of options with You're in the Movie's massive collection of clips, snippets, scripts, and characters. And since you're running the show, no clip will be quite the same and no scene ever ends up on the cutting room floor. Playing You're in the Movies is your time to be the star.
Become a B-Movie Superstar You're in the Movies gives players a choice of fun and kitschy scripts -- there's no talk of highbrow writing here -- but a B-movie star like yourself can't be too picky. Your character of choice might be an action hero or silent film star, but it doesn't really matter. Just pick a genre, pick a script, and get on the set, because the director is ready to call "Action!"
Beat out the Competition in Casting Call Casting Call is another game play option. In this mode, up to four people can try to take the spotlight and play starring roles. During this game play mode a director guides actors through their roles with simple instructions and quick feedback. In fact, each actor will receive a rating based on physical performance. This scoring system creates fun competition and keeps players from getting too lazy.
Take over the Director's Chair Jump into Director Mode and cut a trailer for the movie you just made. Getting the distribution deal (even if it is straight-to-DVD) is great, but unless you have a solid trailer, no one will ever go see your flick. Head off to the editing room and pull together all the great moments to impress your future audience. It's really quite impressive. With the Xbox LIVE Vision camera you can capture player movements using a green-screen-type technology. You're in the Movies allows you to document, save, share, and relive all the best and most hilarious performances.

Yoostar 2: In The Movies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First let em start off, by saying I had been waiting for this to be released from the day I heard about, as my family and I enjoy these type of family oriented games (ie: Singstar, Lips, Scene It).
Overall the game isn't all that bad, it just is a slight disappointment, when you sit down and compare it to the pre-release videos that have been shown, the clarity doesn't match up to video previews, I had seen, there not horrible, but like another review stated, choppy, with a glow around your character... Another feature I am not happy with is the fact that you must have your kinect set to Chat On.. Well, I am online nightly playing MW2, and know have to remember to shut down the chat option before going online, so the whole world doesn't hear my entires house drama... The third, would be the outline of your character alot of time has you facing away from the tv, during the scene, making it impossible to read the lines, so you better have a good memory...
The Good points are: definately a great party game, with a bunch of people around, would be great to listen how people can improvise a scene to their own. Also another feature which seems to be the biggest hit at my house so far, would be the scenes that have no dialogue, you simply adlib the scene yourself, such as the King Kong & I am Legend scene, those seem to be the most enjoyable.
Overall, the game is probably not worth the $50 it currently was released at, but @ say $30, would be a decent investment...

The camera's rolling. The lights are blasting down from all directions. You've only got one chance to get this right and prove you're the right actor for this movie. Your co-star finishes his line and all eyes turn to you. With a deep breath, you begin your performance. Gesturing with your hands, turning your head thoughtfully to the side, delivering every line with gusto, you're pretty sure you nailed it. You smile timidly, awaiting your critique. It's tough to be a movie star, but someone has to do it. Why not you?

Scene It? Bright Lights Big Screen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If your a fan of the other SceneIt's for the 360, your best to avoid this low budget pile of crap. First off the entire format of the game has changed for the worse. There is no online play and no avatar support (it includes it's own characters to choose from). It has Big Button support but it seems sluggish and slow responding. It's obvious that it was not meant to use these controllers due to the fact that there is an Xbox 360 controller taking up half the screen during play to show you how to buzz in (yes seriously!!!). It reminded me of playing a low budget WII port or like going back and watching the never aired pilot of you favorite TV show. Save your money and hope Microsoft adds more downloadable content for SceneIt Box Office Smash.

Scene it? Box Office Smash (GameOnly) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We own both Xbox 360 Scene it? games. I have been a fan of the previous edition, and was excited to see a new version available with new puzzles. The thing I like about this series of games for the 360 is that the game flows well, compared to the traditional DVD-based game, and the scoring is a lot of fun. You can see where you or your team stands against your opponents in real time. The bonus scoring is fun as well. This edition (Scene it? Box Office Smash) adds an interesting element of in-game avatars that represent each player/team on screen. If you have an avatar set up on your Live account, that is who you see representing yourself in-game. The new challenges and game types are fun and are a nice addition to the previous version of the game. If you don't have the special Scene it? controllers, I would highly recommend purchasing the package deal that includes the controllers. Especially if you plan to play with "newbies".
