Wow, out of all the crazy things I have seen, this one pretty much tops it off. When I saw this on a shelf I started to crack up. I mean, who plays a game about the Bible. If u want to learn about the bible, actually read it or go to church or sumthing. Dont be like, "Oh mommy, its a game about the bible, heres 15 bucks to go through away!" A waste of money, a really big waste of money. Now i just wanna see what kids are going to try to defend themselves and make their own reviews about mine going, "Oh, this kid is so lame, he doesnt like a game about the bible!" Good luck kiddies, and have fun with the bible game.
LIKE THE LIBERALS THIS GAME DENOUNCES GOD 1.75 OUT OF 10

It's nice to see that people are trying to teach the word of God to kids, but this is an unbelievably awful way to do it. Long ago, I went to a friend's house, I played it, and it was complete crap. There was virtually nothing good to speak. All it does is ooze unimaginable tortures that only feel like you are being punished by God for some sin you've committed. Being repenting immediately, you're going to need it.
WHAT THE GAME IS: It is a game show game. You pick a character and you play a trivia/mini-game show called Do Unto Others!, and you suffer for every minute (Wait no, every second) of this game show hell abomination. You play crappy mini-games, answer difficult Old Testament questions (Over 1,500 in total... Lord, please end my misery), you will despise the host of the show, and be extremely bored.... ALL AT THE SAME TIME, YAY!!!
GRAPHICS: These textures are awful and the graphics just look bad for a PS2 game from 2005. AND WHY THE HELL DO ALL THE CHARACTERS LOOK LIKE THEY'VE BEEN INJECTED WITH FREAKING BOTOX?! ALL THEY DO IS SMILE, AND IT'S REALLY CREEPY.
MUSIC: This is one of this game's only saving graces. The songs from Christian bands are actually decent and aren't bad to listen to.
SOUND: You will wish Chuck Norris would appear on the screen and kill this host. Seriously, he's the kind of character you want to take out back and shoot.
GAMEPLAY: The controls don't work all that well and really hamper the mini-games and makes them even more torturous to play. Answering questions does not require any precision to control, you just choose one answer. The only moment of joy you will ever get out of this sack of s*** game is when one of your opponents gets Wrath of God and loses all their points, and you will probably laugh at them like; "Ha, Ha, you lost all your points, dumbass!," but then get enraged when you lose all your points; "Dammit! What the f***?!,".
OVERALL: Here's what you do. If you have an old Xbox, go buy the game show game Whacked!, in which you kill your opponents to win and enjoy the experience. There is nothing good to be had from this piece of crap, and there are much better games to invest in on the Playstation 2 than this. If you want to teach your kids good Christian values take them to church, get them involved in youth groups, etc. GOT THAT? Don't ever buy this game for your kids, DON'T EVER. Run away and never look back at this game. It has no place in being on this planet other than feeling like a game that has come to start to apocalypse and end life as we know it. In fact, Satan will probably laugh at you for buying this game to know you're being tortured by it. It doesn't even deserve to be in a bargain bin, it should only be thrown in a trash can or used as a frisbee or drink coaster. Whatever you wish to use it for, do so, just don't play it.
THE GOOD: Decent Christian band music, opponents getting Wrath of God.
THE BAD: Crappy gameplay, difficult trivia questions, bad graphics, annoying host, one of the worst PS2 games, the game show is twenty minutes, it is extremely boring.

You would think, if you truly had God on your side, you'd be able to produce a better game. However Crave's The Bible Game appears to be mostly devoid of compelling content, or honestly, any kind of Christian message at all.
The video game is based around a game show. That pins you against either 4 human or computer controlled characters. It seems decent enough however until you realize there is very little order to how the game is run. Each player takes turns randomly jumping onto different points on the game board. One of these pieces is "The Wrath of God", where you lose all of your points for the round if you land on it. Just so we get this clear. The Wrath of God is completely random and the deserving and undeserving are likely to land on it. Nice way to spread the Love of God.
In the final round, Players have a chance to get some extra points from the Tree of Knowledge. If you pick any fruit, other than the apple, you get a lot of extra points. However if you pick the apple, you lose all of your points. Once again this is completely random and you wonder why you should even try. This game seems to favor focusing on the mean spirited God of the Old Testament and leave out Jesus altogether. Once again, Nice way to spread the love of God.
The challenges are both trivia and minigames which consist of questions that are repeated all too often. The game claims to have over 1500 Bible questions but you only have access to the questions based on the difficulty you set for the game at the beginning so players get ripped off by not getting the total game experience.
One of the best games is the tower of Babel. This has the feel of "stab your neighbor in the back". Otherwise, there's just not much fun to be had. Most of the games have a Christian soundtrack so either you'll enjoy the game because you like it or you'll enjoy it because the songs are so painfully annoying.
As a pastor, I'm embarrassed to see that this is what we Christians have to offer the public. If you just want to entertain the kiddies for a few minutes, this game is fine. honestly, Most stories in the Bible could honestly make for an awesome gaming experience if we focused on one character such as David. But considering we are to show the excellence of God, in all that we do, this game falls way too short. There seems to be no message at all about the core belief of Jesus and what our message is, The Great Commission. If we are to spread the word, we need to start by not making bad video games.
Pros:The Tower of Babel minigame is fun
Cons: Most of the other games are boring, The game mechanics are mushy
Fun Sunday activity.

I got this for my kids as a fun thing to do on Sunday, and they've really enjoyed it.
At Least The Bible Mode Is Fun.

The bible mode is a adventure mode. In the bible mode you get to create your own avatar, name it somthing holy, sorry no names like Jellyfish Of Doom, or, Mummy Man or somthing else. Just, Son Of God, or, Satan or somthing else. Anyway after you create your avatar you get to explore areas and timelines from the bible like, The Old Testament with David and Goliath, or, Palm Sunday with Jesus and his followers. But the most fun thing I found in Bible Mode is that you can interact with the characters and ruin the story of the bible like go to Palm Sunday and throw tomatoes at Jesus and his followers. Or go to the Old Testament grab a sword and sheild and fight Goliath, or go to the Old Testament and sink Noa's Ark, I found that really funny because when you sink it you hear and see Noa and the animals screaming for dear life. You can also warp to Good Friday and help crucify Jesus and when you stab Jesus with a spear this red glop comes out. I know it's suppost to be blood but it's no where near blood, it looks like red clay, I was hoping for it to be like Passion Of The Christ where you can stab, beat, and whip Jesus so much he bleeds all the time but no the makers thought they should just put in clay blood so the kiddies wouldent be grossed out, havent they thought adults will play this too! I think they should re-make this on Playstation 3 Xbox 360 and Wii where it's too graphic for kids to play. The rating should be M for Mature. Done with this review. Peace-Out.

Michael Sullivan is obviously a reviewer with little enthusiasm for good clean fun. In fact, he probably got some sick kick out of the gory scenes from movies like "Hostel" and "Saw". My main point is that when thinking about purchasing or playing this game, realize that you will not be able to mow down your opponents with a minigun. It is an "Everyone" rated game and also a bible trivia game and that is exactly what you should expect to get. This game is pretty good for what it is and you can't find another bible affiliated videogame on the market. I gave it 5 stars for fun and especially originality.
Fun Family Game

I was thrilled to find a KJV Bible trivia game that my whole family could play together. The game is easy to use and lets each player pick their level of difficulty for the game. I especially love the feature that allows you to look up the scripture from the question.
This game is a great way to learn more about the Bible and spend quality family time.
