Family Feud 2010 Edition

This game has a few glitches, but its still worth it!

One of the main glitches I notice is that I have to insert the disk every time I want to play. There is no icon on my desktop for me to click. That is very annoying. Sometimes the in-game graphics modify slightly, but its not to bad and does not happen often.

The questions are Great and can be really challenging at times. The format is very good and gives the REAL show feeling when you play. I love that you can actually see the characters hit the buzzer. I haven't played 2 player mode yet (no one wants to play), but I am sure its as fun as the single player mode.

All in all, I think this is a solid buy and you can enjoy it and could make a good party game!

Here are some notes and observations about Ludia/Ubisoft's release, Family Feud 2010!

- The music used in the menu is the Combs music. Most music in-game is from the Karn era.
- The game is faithful to the pre-Bullseye format, down to round five (and beyond, if necessary) being sudden death. If both families can't provide a correct face-off answer, the question is thrown out.
- During the Fast Money round (in which you're given 90 seconds, a bit too high in my opinion) the point values of the answers you gave will be revealed even if you reach 200. Unless you gave it, the #1 answers are not revealed.
- The set is pretty well designed - everything is very pretty and accurate.
- A nice touch is that your character actually smacks their plunger when you press the corresponding button, even if you're a little too late.
- When it comes down to your family, the captain is your created avatar; the other three members are randomly assigned.
- The recognition system is *usually* really good... almost too good. (Example: In one question, I typed in "rock"... it gave me "Accident" on the board which, I assume is because it's a synonym for "wreck" which kinda sounds like "rock." ) On a related note, it did not give me "yard stick" when I typed "yardstick" and on one question, no "cop" for "police officer."
- If you provide an answer already on the board, it doesn't notify you... it just gives you a strike.
- Single player mode's goal is to win twelve episodes, each against a family with a small backstory. Solid mode, nothing too fancy. Each episode you successfully complete earns you extra pieces for the avatar.

All in all, a pretty nice effort by Ludia. I would say it's *just about* worth the twenty dollars. When compared vs. the versions produced by iWin, like Double Play: Family Feud and Family Feud II [Game Download] and Family Feud: Dream Home [Game Download], each has its pros and cons so it probably differs by each person and what he/she is looking for on whether or not you want those or this. There's definitely some things that could be improved upon but it's probably the best in-store platform release of Family Feud to date.

First of all Amazon advertises this to be sold as a "PC-DVD"game, but it arrives as a "PC-CD" game. other than that, Amazon's part in this was normal. The A.I. of the game must have been thought-up just before quittin time on a friday. AND,,, you can count the number of DIFFERENT opening bid videos on one hand.
