CTR Review

This console version of the Trivial Pursuit board game features the same six categories of questions including Geography, Entertainment, History, Art & Literature, Science & Nature, and Sports & Leisure. However, unlike the board game, this version includes six different questions types -- Sliders, True or False, Multiple Choice, Images, Maps (multiple choice) and Maps (pin placement). There are also three modes of play. You can challenge friends in Classic Mode and play the original Trivial Pursuit game, play alone in Clear the Board to improve your knowledge, or earn extra points by guessing whether your friends know the answer in the new fast playing Facts & Friends Mode, which also includes six Bonus Events. The game also features an all-new "Movie Pack" as a free download for Xbox 360 and PS3, and bundled at retail with the Wii and PS2 versions. Prices are $40 for the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 versions and $30 for the PS2 version.
