It's fun to have something different than a standard DVD remote in your hands, passing it between players, and will definitely make the game more accessible to those who have never played an Xbox 360 game before. There's no question that bona fide wireless support would have been preferable but we understand the decision to leave it out and are happy to report that the IR port does indeed function well.īut does the Big Button Pad actually push Scene It? on Xbox 360 forward from what the DVD game offers? Surprisingly yes, it does. Just so long as there's no solid object sitting in between you and the receiver things should run smoothly. We were able to point our pad directly up and even tilted slightly opposite the direction of the port and could still answer questions. There's also a good bit of freedom when it comes to pointing the Big Button Pad at the IR port.
SCENE IT DVD GAME UPDATE MANUAL
The manual reads that you can be up to 15 feet away, but ours functioned properly from more than 25 feet so chances are you won't have any issues. The Big Button Pad-and if that isn't the stupidest name for a controller I don't know what is-also is fairly flexible and doesn't need to be pointed directly at the receiver. It's just a hair shorter than the wired controller's cable, so there's a good bit of freedom. The additional IR dongle also allows you to keep your 360 in an entertainment center behind a closed door and simply run the receiver's wire up to ten feet away from your system. Why are they handcuffing 360 owners to the limitations of infrared technology rather than using Microsoft's proprietary wireless technology? Our best bet is to cut costs. Yes, they use infrared lights to communicate with your console, and yes, you do need to attach a new IR port to receive the signal.
The real question with Scene It? isn't whether it's fun, because it is, but instead it's whether or not you should spend the extra twenty bucks on converting to the Xbox 360 alternative when there are already a bevy of board game options available.Ī big point of contention that 360 owners are obviously going to be gabbing over for awhile is the controllers that come packed in the game. Now the title that pioneered the combination of a DVD with a board game is making its way to Xbox 360, complete with four newly crafted (and by "newly crafted" we mean that they blatantly ripped off Buzz's controller design) controllers. Needless to say the original Scene It? game on DVD was right up my alley. Not only that, but I have a knack for remembering the names of actors and the movies that those actors have been in. My DVD collection currently sits at around 200 titles and ranges from chick flicks (yeah, I know) to the goriest of horror movies.
