Most startling and rewarding about YDKJ is the sense of realism it creates through its sardonic host, who is never seen but always heard. Two parts Dennis Miller and one part Dennis the Menace, this guy has a line for every situation, and he almost never repeats himself. For instance, if you enter your contestant name as "John," he'll sarcastically reply, "Your parents sure were creative." Little surprises like this, and I won't spoil any more of them, along with a huge stockpile of questions gives this game plenty of longevity. Only after playing it over a hundred times did I notice any repetition--but fear not, Jack-o-philes, an expansion pack of 400 add-on questions is now available.

Zu mehreren macht die Quizshow wirklich Spaß. Jack ist bisweilen zum Schreien komisch und präsentiert lustige und knackige Rätsel.

Selten habe ich ein so gut übersetztes Spiel im CD-Laufwerk gehabt. Das fängt bei den komplett in Deutschland erdachten Fragen an: Wilde Kategorien wie "TV-Werbung & Der Fürst der Finsternis" oder "Manitou beim Zahnarzt" habe ich noch in keinem Ratespiel gesehen. Klar, rund 800 Fragen sind nicht unendlich viele, doch bis Sie alle durchhaben, vergeht schon eine gewisse Zeit.
