Bursting with thousands of questions, plus multiple play
modes and rounds, Cheggers Party Quiz is delivered
in Cheggers' inimitable witty style. From casual play with
family or friends to serious sporting challenges this game
has something for everyone - rather like Cheggers himself...
Boasting
eight rounds, thousands of entertainment questions and loads
of ways to have fun, Cheggers Party Quiz has found
its way onto PC.
The
game is the usual stuff that gets dragged out either when
you're a little too drunk with friends or when you want to
keep your relatives, who insist on staying, amused. The game
isn't actually presented by Cheggers, although he provides
the vocals, but a rather scary CGI version of him - which
looks all the world as if he has been slightly micro waved
and French polished. There is something off-putting about
a character that look like a cheery version of Gollum's dad
who cant even lip synch to his own words. It all gets a little
surreal, especially after a few drinks.
The
game is relatively straightforward and, so long as you have
not been comatose for the last two decades, the answers shouldn't
tax you too much. Cheggers presents you with a number of games
and you can choose the number of players up to four. Most
of the rounds are point and click affairs, often with a picture
of a celebrity and a multiple choice question about what they
were in or where they were born. Each right answer gets you
points and a chance to sneer at the ignorance of others.
You
can play three different length games, but that's where the
customisation really stops. You do have options of doing things
like turning the music off, a button I highly recommend everyone
pushes; its jaunty sound will have you throwing something
at the screen in no time. You can't actually turn Cheggers
off, but once you have the idea of the game he becomes pretty
superfluous so that the game can be played in silence by simply
turning your speakers off. I nearly got excited when I discovered
that you could change the language from English to French,
German, Spanish or Italian. Cheggers in French, I'm thinking,
now that's going to be funny. But, sad to say, these are all
provided by other, less manic, vocal talents. You apparently
can also change the controller configuration, but every time
I tried to play with this the machine froze.
Each
of the four players is represented by a selectable icon from
a collection of eight and you can choose from twelve different
'amusing' buzzer sounds, most of which should eventually guarantee
frayed nerves, a family fight and not having to see your relatives
for another year.
Overall,
if you like this type of thing, the game is not bad, the interface
is easy and the questions not too taxing. If only they had
provided Cheggers' version of German it would have been funnier.
