This interactive DVD game is great for X-factor devotees (those who have watched the series since its first airing) but as for the rest of us, we'll be left out in the cold.
There are 4 'rounds' in this game that can be played by up to four people (it can be played on your own but it's even less fun!). The first round asks competitors to 'judge' a number of acts - you're shown a clip of an auditionee and have to guess whether the panel put them through to Boot camp. I thought this would be the best bit of the game but i found it rather boring, especially seeing as my opinion often didn't coincide with the judges'! It was unpredictable which I suppose is true to the show but it's not a case of YOU judging the acts...it's a case of you guessing the JUDGES judgement!
The following three rounds involve answering multiple choice questions, some are about previous X-factor contestants or shows and some are about music in general. There is a broad range of questions but obviously those who don't watch the show will only be any good at the general music trivia! The final round, the 'live final', fails to generate the tension and excitement i'd hoped for. The slow DVD and the repetitive responses of the judges and Fearn Cotton (presenter) have much to answer for. What's more, if you get a question wrong in your attempt to reach 'week 10' of the 'live final', your survival in the game depends not on your knowledge but on a previous x-factor contestant's success! All well and good, having a bit of 'pot luck', but when it's the early 'weeks' of the last round you know you're going to get through, whereas in the final 'weeks' it seems your contestant always gets kicked off the show! Furthermore it's a bit obvious, when you see a clip of previous winner Shayne Ward, that your place in the game is safe...you know darn well he didn't ever get voted off!
OK, so the game is a bit repetitive, the questions are good for devotees of the show but nobody else, and the format fails to inspire. However, if you're a family of x-factor addicts and you're after something to while away the hours then this would be a fine game to add to your collection.

must admit, I don't go to any great lengths to watch X-Factor on a weekly basis. It's not that I don't like it, just that I'm not an avid fan. However, a game where you can become a judge as well as taking part in a music quiz sounded like a good idea.
The DVD Game can be played in most standard DVD players and has a simple system where you use the remote to answer questions, passing it round to the next player on their turn. There are several unique sections to the game; The auditions, which is the part that sees you as a judge, the `boot-camp', individual Judge sections and lastly the final.
All but the first section involve asking questions on both X-factor contestants and pop trivia. As such it's a bit of a mixed bag and you'll find different people have strengths in each area, which can make for quite an interesting competition at times. The first section, the one I was looking forward to, isn't really about you judging the auditions, though. It's a simple case of guessing who got through. A bit disappointing. The last section gives you harder and harder questions as you go through the knock-out rounds, but I found it to be a bit of a mixed bag when it came to what our team could answer.
The overall presentation of the game is, like the programme, quite slick. All the presenters have recorded video which makes it feel more like you are there on the programme, the other video such as X-Factor contestants singing is of a high standard. Questions are easily answered with the remote (well, they were with my remote, anyway) and it's always obvious what to do. There's even a good little guide to how to play, in case you can't work it out.
Overall, the package is well put-together but suffers from not really providing what it promises, a true X-Factor experience. What it does do, though, is entertaining enough, even if it boils down to a good quality pop trivia quiz with a few added bells and whistles.
