All-New Now That's What I Call A Music Quiz 2

The Good
I enjoyed playing this game. The 'Chart Climber' had a good mix of questions and the bonus/penalty features added just enough of a twist to make it interesting. The 'Platinum Collection' mode proved tougher than expected. Getting three right in a row was easy on some of the sections and for some decades but the 00's proved to be my weakness, and apart from being a decade of poor music it's that decade which showed the limitations of this game.

Other than that the sound is good, the graphics are good, the ideas are good and the game is easy to understand.

The Bad
A quiz is only as good as its questions. When you get down to what's important it doesn't matter how pretty a game looks if it's not entertaining then it's failed to entertain.

We played the game through on one 'Chart Climber' and we had one or two questions repeat three times. Next we played the 'Platinum Collection' mode. This really tests the game's bank of questions because three are asked in the same turn.
Firstly the sets of three questions are fixed, as in not random or set, so if question one is about Queen then you know what questions two and three are going to be. Secondly the sets of questions repeat and they repeat a lot. I am rubbish on music after 2000 and there were two categories for the 00's decade on the game board - I won them both. The reason I won them is not because I suddenly became an expert, nor did I Google the answers, the question sets just repeated so often that I was able to
a) exhaust all the incorrect answers
b) remember the questions and the correct answers.

I also noticed that some questions were included in more than one question set so a question about a 90's pop hit could come up again in, for example, the Duets category.

The Bottom Line
I can see this being bought as a fun thing to do around Christmas when the family get together. It will do its job for at least one game, possibly two, but after that the fact that the questions repeat so often will mean that it probably won't get played again.

It's all done very well but it has little replay value.
