My last brush with You Don't Know Jack was a few people huddled around a keyboard in a dorm room. I'm not sure that I'm prepared for a more comfortable experience. I can't wait for this.

This seems like something you would see on the TV in GTA 4, really digging it.

Dude. I never thought I'd say this, but... I think someone finally figured out how to make game show games into video games. No replay value after those 73 chapters, but since you could easily just play one or two chapters a day with your pals or family, it'd still last for, like.. months! I think the episodic format actually solves a lot of problems that other quiz games have. And damn good entertainment value in the presentation.
 
Very, very good!

Given that almost all those references made no sense, I guess it's only a US release.

Didn't the original have a long game option that went up to 20 questions?

Totally agree. I was torn on the episodic format initially because of no replay value, but with random questions, you're still going to get repeats here and there. This way, every time, you know it's gonna be all new. Also, it allows them to set up jokes since the question structure is fixed; I think the humor benefits a lot from the direction they went with it.
 
The one thing I'm still curious about is the extent of the MP component. I'm hoping you can play full episodes with friends; I thought maybe it just might be only being able to play sections of the game MP like the Jack Attack or DisOrDat.

Looks fun... Though I live in UK and the questions are fairly US based (fair enough given the amount of voice work needed). I think I would play it still though :) (no UK release though).

I can see why this isn't coming out in the UK, the jokes simply don't play but I like the way the questions are presented.
