More trivia in answer and question format comes your way in Jeopardy! 25th Anniversary Edition. Enter your name and choose your character portrait. Next up you choose a category and the wager. Press the d-pad to buzz in and type in your answer in the allotted time period.

That’s it, that’s the game. It hasn’t changed in three iterations. I assume the categories and clues are different, but who knows, Rare and GameTek seem to not want to stop releasing the same games over and over. Whatever makes money, I guess.

Graphics: 0.5

No upgrades.

Same sounds.

It does what it’s supposed to do.

I ran into categories that I didn’t know answers in, but because time has changed the answers.

Fun Factor: 1.0

The least fun I’ve had playing Jeopardy! with the wife.

Overall Grade: 0.9

Jeopardy! 25th Anniversary Edition earns a D. Until there are some upgrades, I can’t give these any higher marks.
