Just began playing this game, so my first impressions will be short and to-the-point. If you are a fan of the first two "Scene It" movie trivia games, then this third installment will please you. The questions offer more variety from fresher movies and are more Gen-X based than the previous games. The question catagories are relatively unchanged, as are the majority of the 50 achievements. The game uses pre-fab avatars (had hoped to use my own), with an achievement included to encourage gamers to use them all. Some might dislike the fact that there is no online multiplayer in this version; however, local multiplayer is fully supported.
Video: sharp and crisp, falls right along-side Scene It, BOS. 7/10
Audio: no detectable changes from the previously mentioned edition. 6/10
Gameplay: still a party favorite, allows 4 friends to compete using either "big button", "guitar hero", or regular controllers. 8/10
Overall: 7/10
Again, this is a first impression. I have amassed 35 achievements over 3-4 hours. The games pass quickly, allowing users to taylor internal gaming options to suit their particular style of play (turn the narrator off, change avatar, etc.). The new "Scene It" is a rental, unless you are a die-hard fan and want to shell out $40 for your own copy. I am sure DLC will be forth-coming. All-in-all, still quite enjoyable.
Edit: I have completed 45/50 achievements. Still encountering new (never before seen) questions. Some repetition, but not as much as previous games. Singleplayer is fine, but meeting new friends with online multiplayer would have been very nice. This game version is definitely more challenging/difficult than the first two. It might require more than one rental to complete all achievements.
