Format:Interactive DVD
This DVD is about as simple as you can get. The announcer gives you 10 questions a round, you each write the answers down on a piece of paper, and at the end of the round, he gives you the correct answers, and you score yourselves points.
So what is here that a book cannot do? The questions are written on the screen as well, which may help people who are hard of hearing. There's sometimes a picture or small video clip (with no sound) to help illustrate the question - illustrate it, mind; the question is never "who is this?" - a lost opportunity there. Also, the same pictures/video clips are used with more than one question.
But that's basically it. You can choose 3 rounds, 6 rounds or 9 rounds - but given you are keeping the score, that's the equivalent of playing a 3-round game once, twice or three times, so why bother with this option? Also, you can choose the level of difficulty of the questions - easy, medium or hard - but I can't have one round of easy, one of medium and one of hard. Well, I could reset the game after the first round, I suppose. But no children's questions; I guess in this pub, children aren't really allowed.
If the DVD wasn't so inexpensive, I would have only rated it two stars, but it's not that dear. Just bear in mind you are getting a glorified quiz book - and not that glorified, to be honest.

Format:Interactive DVD
I've bought the last couple of years pub Quiz's & they've all been pretty good, with the speed of the game getting better year on year. This years one is by far the best yet. With the levels growing increasingly hard as you go (without getting to Quantum Physicist standard & losing your interest). I Played this with my Niece, aged 11 & Nephew aged 15. The questions were relevant to us all. Often you'll find that the questions in these games can lose younger players, but this one is ideal for the whole family. The speed of the game has also improved this year, with it moving through questions as fast as you want to click through them. For great family entertainment i can't recommend this enough !!!!
