Nintendo DS Screenshots: You Don't Know Jack

I use to love playing You Don't Know Jack on the computer, so when I saw that they made a version for the Nintendo DS earlier this year I just had to try it out.  I ended up renting it through Gamefly, but I would not have regretted it if I had purchased instead.

In You Don't Know Jack for the Nintendo DS you can play as 1 or 2 players.  I only tried single player.  There are 37 different episodes to play through.  Basically, you can play through them all and then know all the answer and really rock at it.

The gameplay is just as fun as the original computer versions of You Don't Know Jack.  You buzz in by pressing the arrow direction for the correct answer to multiple choice questions.  For the Dis or Dat you use L and R buttons.  For the Final Jack Attack round you can press any button when the clues match up to fit the category.

Overall You Don't Know Jack is a fun trivia game, especially if you have enjoyed the computer versions.  However, it is somewhat limited in overall gameplay value since it only has 37 episodes, so only 370 total "questions."  Thus, it might make a better rental than purchase, but for the current price (~$17 to $23) it is available for it is not a bad deal to purchase it and leisurely play through all the episodes.
