Ich nutze jetzt einfach mal diese für die Review,da sich alle ähneln. Selbst für Leute die relativ gut englisch verstehen ist es schwierig als nicht native speaker die Fragen so schnell zu verstehen und aufzugreifen wie sie erzählt werden bzw. wie die Zeit zu antworten ist. Es ist schade,dass die deutsche Version,welche gut übersetzt ist,nie auf Steam erscheinen wird. Es ist theoretisch möglich die Datein der CD Version auf die Steam Version zu übertragen (durch simples kopieren). Diese Methode funktioniert bei YDKJ 4 und 6 NICHT. Außerdem ist es schwierig an die generellen Dateien des Spiels zu gelangen. Ich hatte noch die orginale YDKJ 3 CD rumliegen und habe diese Methode getestet und es hat geklappt. Beim 4. Teil bin ich mir relativ sicher,dass es unmöglich ist,dass Spiel auf deutsch zu genießen. Ich empfehle das Spiel jedem,der einmal das Quiz durchspielen möchte um sich die Fragen für´s nächste mal zu merken oder perfekt englisch versteht und die Fragen im gleichen Tempo wie sie gestellt werden beantworten kann. Vor allem Teil 3 und 4 sind zu empfehlen. Alleine,dass ich die original CD bis heute besitze,ist ein Qualitätssiegel für dieses Spiel. Teil 1 ist auch okay und kann kostenlos online gespielt werden (auf deutsch). Aus rein nostalgischen Gründen würde ich persönlich das Spiel nicht nochmal kaufen wenn ich die orginal CD besitze,allein aus dem Grund,dass es nicht auf deutsch ist. Ich habe das Spiel sehr oft auf LAN´s gespielt oder einfach mit meiner Familie als ich noch kleiner war und heute ist beides nicht möglich,also wäre es schön wenn das neue YDKJ sowohl einen Online Multiplayer als auch deutsche Sprachausgabe besitzen würde. Für Erstkäufer (gibt es wahrscheinlich sehr wenige) ist dies aber kein Grund das Spiel beiseite zu legen,da einige Witze auch heute noch echt gut laufen.
Why should you get this game? 1. It's a You Don't Know Jack game. 2. It features an epic heavy metal version of B-I-N-G-O 3. Has Cookie, Nate, and Schmitty! 4. It's only 3 bucks (and part of a bundle that's an even better deal. If none of these answers sound right to you... YOU DON'T KNOW JACK
Its hilarious
Compared to the last three main volumes, You Don't Know Jack Volume 4: The Ride marks a noticeable shift in gameplay, art style, and themes. Upon starting, a question is posed to the player(s) based around some topic (ranging anywhere from the circus to death). The only answers available are "yes" or "no"; the chosen answer will set the tone for the game. From there on, the player is taken on an elevator ride of sorts, being asked the typical questions by a disembodied female narrator. A new question asks if the player has gone on "The Ride" before; if so, there may be some quirk involved in the naming section (for example, on one of my return games, I was locked into only using vowels to enter my name). This deliberate change makes for some amusing scenarios. Gameplay is also different, where players can select the amount of money a question is worth. A new mini-game called RoadKill has the player(s) finding the shared quality between two ideas/people/etc (e.g., the solution for "Mini ___" and "Bradley ___" would be Cooper). After every answer is given, the player(s) are asked what do all the previous answers have in common, proving to be a great test of memory as well as reasoning. Finally, it ends with the usual round of Jack Attack. The only difference here from previous games is that the amount a player receives or loses for answers is selected like the questions. Clearly the grungier entry to the YDKJ series, The Ride is certainly worth a look into for bawdy humorists, trivia titans, and those nostalgic about the 1990s.
This is my all time favourte YDKJ game. It's a little different to earlier games but it excells in almost every way. Cookie is the best and the writing is as hillarious as ever.
okay thats cool but do you know jack
I absolutely recommend this game if you are 25 or up and live in States. However, for me it is not the case. I live in Russia and English is my second language, however, I can totally enjoy that game at almost fullest still when I get friends to play it with me (given their English knowledge is just as good) This game is not so emphatic on celebrities unlike the more relevant ones so it makes this perfect for me. Mostly, the trivia in this is all about general knowledge and something that is already history and not a thing anymore e.g Clinton being presedent. (Can see the recuring theme of developers that can't get over the Cold War) Game here is devided into episodes under one topic. Topics can vary from Parenting to Fetishes. Also, a great point is that there are mini-games that can no longer be found in the modern editions, such as "Bingo" or "Road kill" It's my favorite game in the series. You can pick this one and not worry about the others. See you at the bottom
its been 3 days and the game wont f king close help me cookie masterson is holding me hostage someone save me please
Everything is fine minus the dumb, annoying Elevator Hostess for f**king up my keyboard at the beginning.
The best of the classic You Don't Know Jack titles, The Ride contains more insane quiz questions, extreme hosts, and off the wall radio advertisments. If you have to just choose one traditional YDKJ game to buy, pick this one. Or grab the bundle and be a trivia master.
love this game so much. was so happy to be able to find it on here again. the whole series is just fantastic
This game feels like the version of YDKJ from the Jackbox Party Pack 1 if it were crossed with the themes of Murder Trivia Party. The gameplay itself is quite different, but the creepy visual style comes across strong and there seems to be some form of overarching narrative forming between episodes which wasn't what I was expecting from this at all. I've been going through it in single player and even when I get dealt an episode which I know nothing about the theme of, I want to keep on going just becuse I'm really curious where it'll go. It's also nice to see an early Jackbox Game given where they are now. Definitely worth getting if you're a fan of the recent YDKJ or Murder Trivia Party.
It's a fun ride in the YDKJ universe. It's worth the very small amount Steam is charging!
cookie masterson is here, and to be honest, that's enough for me
The best version of Jack in the classic bundle. If I could, I'd marry Cookie in a heartbeat.
A fantastic addition to the YDKJ line up. Likes: Variable score amounts The new question formats are fun and keep you hooked The 12 question games help scratch itches you have without overstaying their welcome The theming of rounds is awesome! The humor is great Dislikes: I miss the ability to choose the length of the game (7 or 21 questions) The game does have some quirks when playing on newer systems (for example, I had a hard time using the in-game volume controls) Overall, if you are a fan of the YDKJ series, I recommend this game! Be warned: The pop culture questions are rooted in the 90s and before, so younger folks may not get those references.
The biggest departure of the series within the collection of You Don't Know Jack games on Steam. You Don't Know Jack 4: The Ride is locked in at 13 questions per game, with themed episodes that you choose based on your answer to a hypothetical question before each game. You don't pick your questions, either. Instead, you pick how much each question will be worth, although it's mostly random. It's a much darker and grittier game (literally), with times where it will actively try to mess with you (like disabling all vowels on your keyboard when entering your name), and with a light plot that has multiple endings to chose from. This is definitely the most bizarre game in the YDKJ series, but I think it might actually be my favorite.
Stupid fun game that is sarcastic and insults you for everything. I love it
Controls are dated by today's standards and it needs Steam Multiplayer support, but aside from that it's still my absolute favorite YDKJ game.
Questions very much aimed at an American audience. Would not recommend for foreigners.
By far one of the best Jack games to date. Yeah, some of the questions are a bit dated (hey, it was made in 1998), but it still fun to play. The classic questions types are back like "Dis or Dat" and (to the hosts' dismay) "Ticklish Testgum" (Gibberish Questions) along with new ones like "Roadkill" and "Jack BINGO". "Roadkill" is simular to the Jack Attack, but you have to connect two items together instead of finding an item's match. "BINGO" has you buzz in when the correct letter of the answer is lit up, simular to Three Way from YDKJ 3. It does add a lot of variety to the game. This game features all the host from previous Jack games and has a small story arc (you'll know what it is by the second time you play). Don't worry, it's still the same game with the randomness and twisted trivia you know and love. Also, screws has been changed and for the better in my opinion. Instead of pressing S once to screw somebody, you have to hit S multiple times to make the question totally unreadable and force your opponents to answer the question, whether it's readable or not. One small thing I want to point out is the music. The electric guitar can really get you pumped to play. Special mentions goes to both versions of the Jack Attack music, by far the most tense music out of all Jack games. The one downside is that this game is very US-centric. So if you do not live in the United States, the jokes and refrences can fly right over your head. This poses a problem since most of the jokes are built into the questions. All in all, if your looking for a fun party game to play with your friends (or alone for all you hermets out there) then this game is a must buy.
