quiz city
I had my first look at this today and I'd have to agree to some extent with both 'sides' of this argument -
UP's view - non-serious players will enjoy the graphics and the story element and may be enticed to play this one more than the average game, many of which are less interesting visually.
Everyone else's view - this is so close to being Pub-Quiz-With-Pretty-Pictures that I'd be amazed if it's anything other than a reissue of said game by the same company with the pictures and story added on to disguise that fact. The questions may not be identical but they are certainly similar and they come in the same two distinct sets - the first one that allows most people to get as far as the £1 round and the second set of spoilers which are recognisably harder and which appear on every single game either just before you win £1 or just after.
It is *possible* that lots and lots of non-expert play will cause the spoiler set to move higher and higher up the board, or to disappear altogether for the odd game, but I won't be holding my breath.

Re: quiz city
Come clean UP - it's confession time! After having now played this say 15-20 times on 5 or 6 machines in different locations, the only way I can understand your unqualified support for this game is that you wrote the blooming thing yourself! It really is a poor man's Pub Quiz, with at least the same number of questions to answer, usually more, and spoilers cropping up noticeably earlier than on Pub Quiz, meaning that winning even £1 is quite an achievement. Pretty pictures are all very well but a turkey is still a turkey!unknownpseudonym wrote:very stylish new offering from the itbox. not sure who makes it, possibly revolution but it has much more substance than most of their recent games.
