Toys and Games Reviews of Scene It? Seinfeld
Customer Review: Worse Than a Close Talker
Summary: 1 Stars
There are so many things wrong with this game, so really, where should I begin?
The game is way too easy especially for diehard Seinfeld fans (which many are), there are only 432 written questions (144 cards, 3 per card) and only 288 directly applied to the show (the Yada Yada was usually about what the character actors/actresses did elsewhere) and Seinfeld lasted for 176 episodes...so less than 2 questions per episode suffices? I watched "The Gum" episode the other evening and came up for 26 questions of varying difficulty for just that one episode, which is about 1/7th of the actual Seinfeld Scene it questions.
As someone else said, the DVD is more of a memory challenge or a Highlights magazine picture where you have to find obscure things in a shot like another reviewer said. The clips are too long, too easy, and too obscure...my buddy got a question from the episode where George got a toupee, and the question was, which hand did George touch Elaine's nose with...I simply couldn't believe it.
This game virtually has 0 replayability, especially given the small amount and ease of questions in the game. Unfortunately with a game like this where its based solely on one television show, you have one shot to get the game right and to make it as best as it can be, and they really flopped out this $40 box of trash? I still can't believe how unchallenging it is...the game is so underwhelming and the game completely missed the mark in my unhumblest of opinions.

the questions in this are okay, ranging from very easy to almost impossible. great! HOWEVER the format SUCKS!! i was SOOOO eager to play this game, we go around quoting seinfeld all day long in this house. it's always "go time" or "top of the muffin to ya" around here.
the flaw in the format is as such: when you see the ad for this on tv, you think it will involve lots of tv clues. well, only some of the clues use the dvd. other ones use the stupid cards. if i liked to read, would i know so much about a tv show? and some of the cards are STUPID!! they say things like, you made the soup nazi mad, go back two spaces. DUH. and even the dvd q's are sometimes just a picture of a card question! again, reading!!
in other words, this is fun in that it involves seindfeld, but has major major flaws in design. in fact, it borders on annoying.
and by the way, the producer of the show jerry and george are gonna do is named RUSSELL DALRYMPLE!! (sp?)
bleh!! someone go create a better one!! this one is making jimmy mad, jimmy's getting upset!
Customer Review: Destined for a white elephant gift exchange
Summary: 3 Stars
I added this to my wishlist a few years ago based on a recommendation from a friend that owns this game. My sister in law and her husband bought it for me and now I feel bad for asking for it b/c it's just not all that fun. As someone who has seen nearly every Seinfeld episode ever aired, many dozens of times, I found many of the questions to be obscure and pointless. I think this game follows the format of other Scene It games where some of the questions aren't show-related trivia but rather require you to watch for random and obscure items/phrases w/in the clips... e.g. you'll watch a 15 second clip and then the question that results is "what was the first word Elaine said in the scene?" I guess they makers of the game were perhaps trying to make it more fun for non-Seinfeld fanatics who don't have half the scripts memorized (e.g. "I was buying my son a doll"... name that episode, lol). Anyway, I would not recommend this game... we played it once on the day we got it and have not played it since. I will be putting this game in a future white elephant gift exchange at work.Customer Review: Perfect if they would fix the music!

I've been a Seinfeld fanatic for a long time, and the moment I saw a TV ad for this, I hopped on Amazon and made this purchase.
If you've ever played any version of Scene-It, you know what to expect. I'd add that the game does a good job of varying the questions and answers from the iconic lines/scenes/moments that everyone recognizes to the hilarious little details that only a diehard would remember. In addition, the off-the-screen trivia enriches my appreciation of the inner dynamics of the show.
MY ONE COMPLAINT (in addition to knowing Seinfeld better than my friends, who now refuse to play with me) is THE MUSIC. It's NOT the immortal Seinfeld opening theme, but some cheap replica that sounds even worse because it's such an obvious imitation. It's so jarring that it knocks a star off my rating. Why the makers of this game didn't secure the rights to use that song baffles me and significantly damages the experience of this game, which is otherwise great.
Customer Review: Best game ever played for a Seinfeld fan!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a Seinfeld fan like me, then this game is definately for you. It has a ton of trivia questions that you wouldn't expect someone to ask, but that is what makes this game even more fun. It challenges you to think hard before you answer. The hardest part of the game (for me at least) is on the trivia cards. There are questions that ask about Seinfeld and the real world, like, for example, the real name of one of Jerry's girlfriends and what other shows they are on or from. I know every single Seinfeld episode word for word, but when it comes to people's real names or what movie such and such starred in, thats what gets me. Overall, this game is just a blast to play with friends, plus it has a cool party mode that you can play during parties or get togethers who like Seinfeld. It will be just like a fun Q&A for Seinfeld. I would definately recommend this game to anyone who likes Seinfeld.
