The Wii version of Twilight Scene It? turns your TV screen into a trivia game show for up to four players. Mixing actual footage from the movie with ten types of timed quizzes, you quickly learn how much you know -- or don't know-- about the book and movie series. The content includes 500 questions, which are answered using the Wii remote. Your score can be increased not only by answering correctly, but also by being the first to buzz in. Games include Alice's Vision (identify the location as it is slowly sketched), Movie Clip (watch a clip, and then correctly answer a question about it), Sequentials (put the scenes in order), and Upon Reflection (identify the character hidden behind the shimmering stars). There are both single and multi-player modes and a new scoring system. Scene It? -- which previously was available for DVD -- works very nicely on the Wii, and it is nice to see the format continue to improve. Obviously, this is game best suited for serious Twilight enthusiasts. All others, pass. The price for the DS version is $35, which we did not test.
