Trivial pursuit xbox5/8/2023 ![]() Again the Blitz mode just turns up the competitive natures and injects a bit of life into what could get a bit dim. This involves choosing the best answer from those still available after other players have chosen theirs, unless you’re in last place then you go first! For example if it asked you to pick the newest released console out of PS2, Gamecube, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Sega Megadrive, if Xbox One had already gone it’d be between whatever is left. ![]() Last of the regular rounds is Close Call (and the Blitz version). And what does Blitz do exactly? It makes everyone play at the same time so it becomes a frantic scramble to get those easy answers banked before your opponents do. Grab Bag involves a question and 16 possible answers, players in turn need to find the eight correct answers and avoid the incorrect because if they get one wrong they sit out that entire question. Now onto the Grab Bag round, this is the star of the show or should I say its variation, Grab Bag Blitz is really. Of course you need basic rounds like this to counteract the zany ones but it’s replicated in Switchagories, the only slight change being players take turns in picking a category to get a question from and they can earn double points whereas everyone else gets the standard amount. This is a straightforward ‘everyone pick the answer to a few questions’ mode in which there are four options to choose from. To explain what I mean I will go over the differing types of rounds you may face starting with Quickstarter which kicks off every game show. My only problem here is the lack of variety, despite there being seven different round types in reality two are just minor variations on two other types and ignoring the final round, the rest have no decent gimmick to them. Ubisoft provided us with a Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 Switch code for review purposes.These rounds consist of multiple choice based questions that everyone must answer in order to earn points, which in turn goes towards earning those trademark Trivial Pursuit wedges. Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 won’t wow you with innovation, but it still makes for a fun way to spend a half hour. But when you’ve got a game that’s as reliable as Trivial Pursuit, sometimes that’s enough. As I wrote up top, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a Trivial Pursuit game. Obviously, Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 didn’t reinvent the wheel. Slap on some slightly shinier graphics than last time out, and you can see why it can make for an enjoyable time. Moreover, the AI is just balanced enough that the game feels like a challenge without being too hard. You have your pick up three- or five-round games, both of which have enough difference between the rounds that you never feel like you’re just doing the same thing over and over again. Which is to say: if you like trivia, you’ll find plenty here to enjoy. This was one of the strengths of the first Trivial Pursuit Live!, and it’s still one of the game’s strengths today. It’s certainly easy enough to screw up, so Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 deserves some praise for simply sticking with what makes it fun. Mind you, there’s a lot to be said for video game adaptations of board games that don’t get in their own way. At this point, you should have a pretty good idea of whether or not you’re going to like it. Even Trivial Pursuit Live! first came out more than seven years ago. The game has been around for more than 40 years. The challenge in writing about Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 is that there’s really not much to say about it. Also on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X
