I’m a trivia nut, so I’m a big fan of visual and interactive party games, like Scene It?. That’s why I was excited to find out that Scene It? Movies [iTunes link] is now available for the iPhone.
The hurdle with any handheld version of an existing game is retaining the overall experience, while also making the game accessible from a mobile experience. Scene It? Movies manages to find the right balance, and is a fun, addictive game for the movie fan.
The Scene It? games are largely identified by the fact that they integrate movie clips, thus, it’s important that a mobile game follow suit. The iPhone version functions much like the original: The app streams movie clips before asking a question or series of questions.
Scene It? Movies also has different question types, ranging from matching actors with characters they have played in movies, organizing movies by release date and various puzzled or alternate depictions of a movie. The faster you answer a question, the more points you get.
This game functions as both a single-player and a multi-player game: i.e. You can “pass” the iPhone or iPod touch back and forth between players. That works pretty well, but it would be great if there was some sort of local or Internet device-to-device ability.
After you complete a game, you can post your score to your Facebook page. The whole log-in and connect process happens in-app, which is a nice touch.
I was impressed with the variety of questions and with the high video quality of the clips. At only $0.99 (its introductory price — that might not last), Scene It? Movies is a great way for the iPhone movie fan to have some fun and kill a few minutes.
