TV game shows always translate well to the PC and this one is no exception. I owned many a dos Jeopardy game, and the CD rom is most reallistic.

Unlike being on TV, I can usually be the all-time champ at this one.

Great Game!

I love this game, even though there are a few flaws. I'll look forward to the 2nd edition of the game, if another company decides to make one. If you are a big fan of Jeopardy!, then I would buy it, but if your just an average gamer, I would'nt get it.

So real.

This game is so real. Alex Trebek really talks. Johnny Gilbert really anounces. You really hear "From the Sony Pictures Studios, this is JEOPARDY!" at the begining of each game. There's really aplause. You can fix the settings and save games. You can play normal, tournament or speed match games. Most of the questions are probably too hard for kids though.

PERFECT GAME

I got this for my birthday and have already spent hours playing it. The only complaint I have about it, is that it won't give you the answer if you've misspelled it. For example, if you spell Caracas Venezuela as Caracus, you get the answer wrong. In spite of that, I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

We love the Jeopardy game. The music and sounds are pretty real, the questions are challenging (there are several levels to pick from), and one, two or three people can play. The down side is that the game is extremely picky about correct spelling of the question, even if you've selected the lenient choice. But overall, we love the game.

Buy Jeopardy ... If you LOVE Jeopardy!

This game is for anyone that really likes to watch Jeopardy and wants learn something new. I pre-qualified for the "real" Jeopardy. I was never on the show however. The question are not outrageously hard. However, if you feel the questions are too hard ... keep playing at the same skill level. You will have repeated categories ... that will be your test. How good is your memory? It is a lot of fun if you play to learn instead of play to win!

I read other reviews about the "ring in" keys. The three ring in keys are, Control for player 1, Space Bar for player 2, and Shift Key for player 3. My experience with the game is, player 1 has an advantage over 2, and players 1 & 2 have an advantage over player 3. In another review, the writer stated that the shift key had a big disadvantage over the other two players. I find this totally untrue on my keyboard. So, the "flaw" in the game is not necessarily the same for all keyboards.

Don't let this stop you from buying the game. For my family, the fun is more in the knowledge received from playing. Even if you are at a disadvantage it is still fun. And, we change seats for each game. So, if you have the shift key (slowest ring in)for the first game you will have the control key (fastest ring in) for the second game.

Really ... BUY Jeopardy if you love Jeopardy!

Categories repeat soon if you play often

Let me start by saying that I love this game. It is so much like the TV game it's amazing. There are a few problems though. First, if you play this game 2 or more times a week by yourself you will find that categories begin repeating after 2 weeks or so. This can really ruin the fun when you get your friends together to play and categories keep coming up that you have already played by yourself. Second, The "buzz in" keys don't all have the same response time. The player with the Ctrl key always gets in before the player with the space bar, However I was still able to win using the space bar. Third, sometimes the audio does not come through and you end up wondering what player 3 said. And lastly, Alex does not always ask you to be more specific when you provide just part of the question such as "what is a bee" instead of "what is a honey bee" and you will told your response is incorrect. Having said all this I really love this game and just purchased the 2nd edition. Pete

I think they jumped the gun on this one. They should have taken more time to work out the kinks. My CD is jumpy and tends to skip. There is also too much time wasted getting to the actual game, and no way to go around it that I can see. Also, sometimes the answer misses the mark. For example, the "answer" was "...this family..." and my "question" was "Who was the Mayo Family", which was not accepted, but the other contestant's "Who was Mayo" was accepted! On the good side, the graphics are wonderful. I think I will return to the old game for now.

Good for 1 player - no good for multiple players

I love this game, except for one glaring problem: when multiple humans are playing, one is assigned the space bar as a ring in key. This key always reacts slower than the other keys (control and alt), making mult-player games frustrating.
