You Don't Know Jack 2011

[Funk]

I'm thinking about getting this for the 360. I heard the PC version sucks (only 2-player local, no online). I was a HUGE fan of this back in the 90s, and I heard Cookie is the host of this one (he was definitely the best host back in the day). The changes seem kinda cool: everyone gets to answer this time (secretly) and you get more points the faster you ring in. There are episodes with predetermined question sets, although this KILLS online play, since anyone that has played an episode already knows the answers. Doesn't bother me much, though, because I'll only be playing locally.

I'll probably pick it up after work...

I have it, it's a blast. The humor is great, the question are the typical YDKJ creative style, and there's something like 70+ episodes to play through (10 questions each) on the disk with DLC already available if you want more.

There's another new feature called the Wrong Answer of the Game that I really like. One question will have a wrong answer somehow related to the fictional sponsor of each episode, and if you pick this "right" wrong answer you get a big bonus score.

I haven't tried online though I'm sure it sucks, local multiplayer is the way to go for sure.

Funk, if you're picking it up, I might pick it up. When do you play and do I have your gamertag?

Oh, MAN. Jellyvision is the ****, I LOVED You Don't Know Jack.

FUN FACT: Jellyvision handled the English localization of Seaman.

Jeff Kramer is both the voice of Seaman and Francis York Morgan from Deadly Premonition.

I don't have Gold so I don't know if I can play online. I probably can't.

I've got it for the PS3 and it really is a fun game. The questions are great, and I too love the 'Wrong Answer of the Game' which is way harder in practice than I thought it would be.

The whole package is hilarious, and unlike any versions I can remember, they have custom voiceclips for every single mistake you make.

Even if you can't play online I'd say it's worth the buy. Single player is reasonably fun and local multiplayer is way better than online, since they regrettably left out all tools for interacting with other players online. You also can't choose an epsiode when you play online, which means that you sometimes end up playing an episode you've already played (although it seems to have some sort of 'auto-selection' mechanism to avoid this when possible).

It's because Kefka is really a pretty good guy.

I played it at a friends house, it was really fun!

Re: You Don't Know Jack 2011

I love playing this with Gwommy, Blackberry, and my bro(Finkster), but they say it's "unfair" how "good" I am at the Jack Attack. I agree that $4,000 is a bit high for the right(+)/wrong(-) value, but hey...get smarter and buzz faster if you don't like it.

Re: You Don't Know Jack 2011

I played the episode where Cookie sends out an e-vite the other day and just couldn't stop laughing. That whole thing was so much fun. Culminated in an AWESOME Question 10, as well.

I've got about 25 episodes left before I have to start buying DLC to keep things fresh. Anyone play online on the PS3? I'd love to go head-to-head with you sometime.

I'm clamoring for the return of Jack Bingo (from YDKJ The Ride), but the hilarious changes they make to the Question Four animations are keeping me distracted enough.

"Ooooooooh, quatroooo~~~~~"

I saw this used at Gamestop a while back for the PS3, and it was pretty inexpensive. Might pick it up if it's still there when I get paid.
