Disney Think Fast (PS2): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games

Manufacturer's Description

Disney Quiz is a fast playing, fun, family orientated quiz game which can be played by a single player or multiple players alike. The game itself follows the form of a TV quiz game show and takes place in a studio based around one of a number of locations from Disney films. Presiding over the whole competition will be the Genie from Aladdin who will serve as the game’s host. With his larger than life personality, magical abilities, comic nature and selection of silly voices, the Genie is perfect to keep the players both entertained and suitably instructed.

The Game’s LocationsDisney Quiz is played in a virtual television studio. However the studio can be in one of a number of different locations. These locations are all based on particular locations seen in Disney films. Thus the Jungle Book location has the studio in the jungle and the Hercules level has its studio in the mists of Mount Olympus and so on. In addition to the studio styling, the location will also determine the special guest star who will appear later in the game and the questions he asks the players. Both the guest star and the questions he brings to ask the players will be taken from the same film as the chosen location, for example if the player’s choose the Jungle location then King Louie will be the guest star and will ask questions about the Jungle Book.

Once the players have chosen the location then the game will begin.

Playing the GameThe Genie will now take the role of an exuberant game show host. He will introduce the studio’s location with a few jokes and, in some instances, even a song and dance routine. Then he will start the game.

Disney Quiz will be structured into a series of rounds. At the start of each round, the Genie will explain how to play and the scoring mechanisms involved. The Genie will then hand over to the Question Master who will read the questions to the players.

The Question MasterWhile the Genie serves as the host for the game, giving introductions, instructions and commentating on the scores and how well the players are doing, the one thing he doesn’t do is actually ask the questions. This is a vocal role that needs to be clear, measured and easy to understand and as this is not a role in which the Genie would excel, a separate question master is used instead. His calm measured tones will provide a contrast with the manic nature of the Genie, as well as leaving the Genie free for more suitable in-game comments.

The Game Rounds The game rounds themselves will use various different types of questions as well as different answering techniques and scoring systems. Some rounds will allow players to choose the categories of questions. Others will require the players to listen to music or watch movie clips and then ask questions about them. Further rounds will include True or False rounds, spotting the Odd One Out as well as the special ‘Wish upon A Star’ themed round featuring the special guest star. Most rounds will award players who get correct answers, while some will reward only the quickest, some will penalize those who get the questions wrong and some will allow a winner to steal points from another player. As players get questions right, wrong and both score and lose points, the Genie will pass comments on the changing fortunes of the players keeping them all both amused and informed.

At the end of each round, the Genie will show the players how they’re doing on the rank screen, offering congratulations and encouragement where needed. At the end of the game, the players will all appear together on the studio’s central

Think Fast Fun!!! 1 Feb 2009

By michelle hughes

Platform for Display:PlayStation2|Edition:Normal

Fun:

I purchased this for my 7 year old daughter for christmas as a change from the other Buzz games we have. I thought that it would suit her but her brother 12 wouldn't enjoy it. I was wrong. We have all had fun! You can pick your level of Disney knowlegde which makes the game a bit harder otherwise some of the questions are not really disney related. The animation of the characters is good and the genie is funny. It can be a bit tedious waiting while he explains the rules if it's a game you've played already as the chance to opt out of listening comes later - but it's only for a minute or so. As with the other Buzz game you choose how long you want to play - we pick a short game but enjoyed it so much we played another straight after. So if you like Buzz, like Disney and like having a laugh with the kids it's one to buy.

Great for Disney lovers 28 May 2009

By Kylie

Its a good family fun game. Dependant on your Disney knowledge, you can set the games difficulty to your choice. It is set out like a gameshow, very simular to PS2 Buzz games. Your Host is Genie who likes to add little jokes here and there. You choose from a selection of Traditional Disney characters (such as Mickey, Donald and Goofy etc.) to represent yourself in the game. The gameshow is set on different sets, which you are able to choose from e.g. Lilo and Stitch, The lion King, The Little Mermaid. The questions are from a varst selection of Disney film: old to new to acomidate younger and older players. There are also mini games (or bonous games) between some rounds, which allows those not so knowledgable of disney to catch up. The quiz rounds are different each time you play it, some include: general disney knowledge, questions by a special quest host, quickest to guess the photo appearing, point stealing round etc. My only fault with the game is that sometimes questions will not actually be about disney, but rather silly questions like: what object would you find in a kitchen? choose from bed, bath, cooker. But I found that these questions only appear on the easy mode, rather than hard mode, obviously to allow those who don't like disney as much as other players, to still get points as well. Overall, I found it to be quiet a good game, for both Disney lovers and those not so keen.
