The Scene It? Series is always a great game to play with friends at a party. Gamers or not, the controls have always been easy to understand and the quizzes are fun to play. Besides, who doesn’t love proving they know more than their friends about Movies?

My Scene It? controllers from Box Office Smash and Lights Camera Action, have been sitting in our controller bin for quite some while. I was surprised and ecstatic when Screenlife PR contacted us with a chance to try their newest title for XBLA and PSN, Scene It? Movie Night. The game is a downloadable for 800 MS Points or $9.99 on Playstation Network.

My husband is a movie know-it-all, so I love playing the previous Scene It trivia games with him. But what he enjoyed most about Scene It? Movie Night is that the questions were really focused on the movies. The questions were relevant to the movie clips.

There are many types of sections in the game. Each game has 7 rounds that you play. It ranges from questions about a movie clip, to finishing the quote or putting movies in order of release. The child-drawn movie questions are back. There are fourteen question types that are combined in random ways. The last round is “quick pitch” which is a rapid combination of questions. The last round usually changes the outcome of the game.

There has been confirmation that this Scene It will get proper DLC support. There will be updated questions for download. The next pack will be a Sci Fi theme pack and will be available in early 2012. Let’s hope for some Serenity questions!

My only negative is that while I’m sure the game has a large group of questions to choose from, I’ve run into the same movie clip three times and a couple rounds of the same group of questions. I’ve played maybe eight to ten games with friends, so I’m pretty surprised to get the same questions so early.

In the end, I recommend Scene It? Movie Night for people that want a fun, trivia game to play with friends. It’s easy to pick up and learn how to play and everyone loves testing their movie knowledge skills against each other. I hope they continue to offer DLC for the title and make it a more robust trivia game. My recommendation….Disney DLC. ^_^
