Official JEOPARDY! game lands in the Windows Phone Store

Jeopardy for Windows Phone

If yous like the television receiver game show Jeopardy, yous may find some appeal in the Windows Phone version of the trivia game. Jeopardy is another Sony Pictures Tv set release (we saw Wheel of Fortune striking the Shop shelves before) and is a decent model of the popular game.

Game play follows forth the aforementioned lines as the Game Testify with the Daily Double, the Double Jeopardy round and the Last Jeopardy round all being present. There'south room for improvement with Jeopardy that deals with user interface and avatars (an caused taste) but for the most function Jeopardy comes beyond equally a decent trivia game for your Windows Phone but with the lack of a trial version information technology may not entreatment to anybody.

Jeopardy's primary card has options to play the game, access the game'south options, view your gaming career stats, access the help screen and view the nearly page.

Jeopardy Question and Avatar Screens

Gaming options allow you to customize your gaming avatar, customize your histrion signature for the game podium, mute the audio and reset the your career. The avatars are a little crude on the eye and look more similar characters out of Fable than game evidence contestants. Then again, if your a Fable fan these avatars will be right upwardly your alley. All it needs is a few Balverine avatars... but I digress.

The game itself has 3 difficulty levels, a solo mode (no opponents) and a pass and play mode where yous can take up to 3 players. Game play follows the traditional game of Jeopardy where you lot are presented with a game lath with diverse topics and cash values. Tap on a value and you are nowadays the reply to a trivia question. You have a few seconds to read the question and can either answer or laissez passer on answering. If y'all choose to respond you will be given three choices for the question that matches the answer. Choose the incorrect answer and you lose that dollar amount and your opponents get a chance at answering. The trivia is challenging just you do have to speed read at times.

Jeopardy

It takes about xx minutes to play a full game of Jeopardy and if you demand to shut it downwards earlier y'all wrap things up, the game will save your progress and you tin go on things afterwards.

While Jeopardy is a decent trivia game for your Windows Phone at that place is room for improvement. The avatars just seem out of identify and in that location is way too much tapping going on. In playing Jeopardy it felt similar I was tapping the screen every second to keep to the adjacent screen. There really needs to be some automatic screen progression. Otherwise you may get blisters on your finger tips from tapping so much.

The biggest knock against Jeopardy will be the lack of a trial version to permit you try before you buy. A i round trial version would give everyone a feel for whether or non this game is for them. Jeopardy is currently running $1.99 and I tin can see some being disappointed in shelling out that much for the game. If the pricing betoken was $.99 I would easily say that Jeopardy is worth taking a hazard on. I will say this though... after playing a handful of rounds, Jeopardy does abound on you.

As with Sony's other gaming release, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy is more likely for the die-hard fans of the game show. For those willing to accept the plunge y'all can find Jeopardyhither at the Windows Phone Store.

Thanks, Jeremy, for the tip!
