Toys and Games Reviews of Electronic Catch Phrase Music Edition
Customer Review: incredibly fun, but quickly played out
Summary: 3 Stars
I had a blast playing the game but, I'd have to agree with one of the earlier reviews that talks about the game's "fatal flaw". My family got the game just recently as a Christmas present and being a huge fan of the original catch phrase, I was really excited to play this new version. I'm 23 years old and played the game for the first time with my wife and younger brother and sister. We were having a blast, the game is exceptionally fun when you know the song that pops up on the screen and you can try to sing it for your team earning extra points and making everyone in the room burst in to laughter. We quickly settled on the "pop mix" category that seemed to offer the best mix of older and more recent songs that all of us knew, hence the most singing. HOWEVER, to our dismay after only about an hour, maybe 3 complete games on the "pop mix" category the game started repeating songs. We scrolled through about 10 songs and found that we had already described ALL the songs that very night which obviously took all the fun out of that category. We switched to the "two thousands" category, which was ok, but contained more obscure songs that we couldn't sing as much, and if you can't sing the songs the game gets a little bit frustrating because you're often left trying to describe lots of little words like "I've", "those", "don't", etc. So, in conclusion I'd have to say that the game is incredibly fun, but I was shocked that they didn't include more well-known songs that people from various generations could easily sing because the game can be very frustrating to play otherwise.Customer Review: Great Party Fun

We played this game at a recent party and WOW we couldn't stop. The game is fun, exciting and funny. It is nice that you can choose your options on how to give a clue once you see the name of the song. You can sing part of the song, hum it, name band members, it is endless. Although the title on the product says Country & Rock, once you click on the item you will find that you can choose between a country game or a rock and roll game. We played the rock and roll. Funny part is when someone else is giving you the clues, you sit there like come on dummy but when it gets to you, you only have seconds to think and realize that it can be really hard. If you and your family and friends enjoy trivia games, well this is one game to have. I promise you, you will have tons of fun and be amazed at all of the songs you haven't heard in ages or completely forgot about. Enjoy!Customer Review: very difficult

Bought this as a christmas gift for someone who is for lack of a better description, a music buff. We always liked the regular catch phrase real well and figured since we have a fairly vast knowledge of music that this would be even more perfect than the original...boy were we wrong!!! This game is so very complicated it will leave you speechless. example-sat down with 8 people who pride themselves in loving all kinds of music, very knowledgible of all styles of music past and present, the ages of people were from 23-60. We were at a huge loss, played for about 20 minutes and not only did we as a group, find it very difficult to give clues but also couldnt even as a group come up with clues, answers or even a good start. So very disappointing, I cant even begin to tell you, this is not nearly the game that the original is...not even close.Customer Review: not a very fun game

i love the regular version of this which i have as well, we are avid game players and this game is just not fun to us or our friends. that is just our opinion, others may like it, we just dont. i know i should say why more specificly but it is hard to explain. it just does not play like the regular game. you would think it is like the other one but it seems like the way to play it is guess this song and you have to try and sing the song they tell you on the screen but you cant use the title words...of which you just read... and now that is the only part of the song that is stuck in your head... like i said just my opinion. so we dont care for this one. i would not buy again.Customer Review: Catch Phrase Music Edition is A Great Family Game!
Summary: 5 Stars
My family gets together over all of the holidays, and we got a kick out of this game! It was hilarious watching cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas trying to get their teamates to guess the songs! Most of my family had no idea what they were doing. The game was especiallt hard for me because I'm only 12 and I don't know many songs from the 60's to the 90's! But still, I would highly recommend this game for family game night, or maybe for a Christmas/Birthday present! I had so much fun playing this game as well as the origanal Catch Phrase!
