I'm still pissed that there STILL has not been any DLC for Scene-It. You'd think with the gobs of different versions they sell for the retail DVD version of the game, they'd have been able to come up with something by now.

Don't buy this - definitely get the physical board game. We have it and it's amazing. I can't imagine how the XBLA version would be anywhere near as fun, as it displays the values you are guessing on the screen for everyone to see - plus it restricts your guesses to whatever values they have you to choose from. Half the fun is seeing people's ridiculous answers.

For example - one of the questions was how many elevators does the Empire State Building have? We had people guess everywhere from 2 to 100 (the answer is 73).

I was in Walmart around last Christmas, and I noticed that about half of their board game section was consumed by NINE different versions of Scene-It. That says a lot about the state of board gaming in this country (or at least the portion of this country who buys their board games at stores like Walmart, Target and Toys R Us - which is probably about 99%). :Q

Great board game, easy to learn and lots of fun. But damn the XBLA version look bad.
