It's almost the same as Jeopardy! 2nd Edition

Jeopardy! 2003 is a good game, but if you already own Jeopardy! 2nd edition, I'd think before picking it up. New things it includes are; Alex's new face-lift, the new dollar amounts, some new graphics, and new multi-player assignment. Interface, most graphics and sounds are from Jeopardy! 2nd edition, so don't expect "all new game-play". For the price, pick it up, it's not that bad.

Pros:
5,200 New Answers
New Alex Videos
New Dollar Amounts

Cons:
Too much like 2nd Edition

Jeopardy 2003

This game is sometimes called Jeopardy 3 but on the box it's called Jeopardy 2003.

I was surprised, that in Solo Mode, you are not told the answers to the questions!
When you play with others or computer players, you are given the answers.
The graphics and sound are pretty good. My main complaint with the game is the lack of options. You can't even pick the resolution you want to play in. There are no graphic options at all! Everything is choosen for you. There are a few options having to do with gameplay, like buzz in time 1-3 Players and such.

I like to pick my own options and settings, thats's why only three stars. Otherwise the game is fun.
It requires Direct X 8.1. System requirements are a minimum Pentium II 333Mhz but a Pentium III 500Mhz is recommended (32MB RAM for Win 98/ME/2000 but 64 for XP)and 200 MB Hard Drive Space.

I also ordered Scrabble 2003 and Wheel Of Fortune 2003. I hope they have alot more options than Jeopardy 2003.

In this day and age I assumed all vidio games, exspecially a game like jeopardy or wheel of fortune would have online multiplayer capabilities so you could play with friends online. I was wrong.. that would have made this game a 5 star to me. ...

This is the latest version of Jeopardy with the new dollar amounts and over 5,000 questions. You can play standard, solo or tournament of champions. Standard mode is the traditional three player game. Solo mode is practice, so therefore you do not get the anwers to the questions. In tournament mode you play with three human players, who have won at least 5 games or $75,000.
You can adjust the spelling tollerance and computer player difficulty as well as the buzz in time. You need to be carefull of the spelling. You need to check your answer over before submitting. There is some tollerance for similar answers but because it is a computer game and not the telivision game there is no human factor in determining if the answer is right. For example. I had a question on what happened on a certain date during the Korean War. The correct response (or what was acceptable) was "what is prisoners of war?" I typed in "Prisoner exchange". One time I typed in "Franklin Deleno Roosevelt", the accepted response was "F. Deleno Roosevelt". The answers were similar but I was considered wrong. Career statistics keeps track of your winnings , your strongest and weakest catagory as well as the number of corrrect and wrong answers. I just started playing the game, it is a good game. The graphics are good. The computer players have speaking voices in giving their responses.

This game is terrible

Among its major design faults you MUST always run the game with the CD-ROM in the drive and it doesn't tell you the correct answer if you get it wrong!!!

As a traveler with a laptop with a seperate CD-ROM drive, I don't want to have to take it with me. Why cant the program work on its own?

It is also stupid that it doesn't tell you the CORRECT answer if you get it wrong or don't answer. This is what makes it interesting!!!

There are also a lot of bugs such as overlaping audio tracks which make this less than adequate.

Read the directions

Mr. "Gamer" from Forest Hills should read the comments from
"Theodore John Illenberg (see more about me)" to see why
he (gamer) couldn't get answers because he was "playing with
himself" while traveling; NOT a good idea (like cell-phones and
booze and driving) ;>)

No online or LAN capability

Game is ok by itself...and would have gotten a 5 star rating from me if it could be played online or at least via LAN. Since it can not it does not warrant that high of a rating. As a matter of fact I would not recommend anyone PURCHASING this game for anything over $... There are plenty of other online trivia games. Wait until Infogrames reaches the technical level of true multiplayer gaming instead of having bored gamers huddle around one keyboard (which is meant for use by one person, by the way).

Not recommended

There are many problems with this version of computer jeopardy. The interface is awkward-looking and doesn't come up to the TV version at all. It's difficult to buzz in on your computer keyboard and the worst thing is, they don't provide you with the real answers if you miss one. This is inexcusable and exhausting. Another irritating element is you *must* spell your answer correctly. Though the same claims you misspell your answer (as long as it's reasonably close to the actual spelling), this is simply untrue.

A frustrating experience. It's actually more fun to do what I do: pretend you're an actual Jeopardy contestent and 5-time champion. I've gotten more pleasure from living vicariously than actually playing this computer game. There are too many glitches, too few perks to justify a purchase.

Its a good game if you like triva games. The money values are up to date with the real tv show and it feels that your right in the studio actually playing the game. I dont know if it works under Windows 98 but It works just fine under Windows XP professional edtion.

It's the greatest game show game on computer. What is J?

This version of Jeopardy! is one of the best game show computer games ever! It has stunning 3-D graphics and over 5,200 answers! It also has a contestant exam that gets you ready for the game! Also in this game, Alex Trebek doesn't have a mustache. I give this CD FIVE STARS!
