Guide Review - Spider-Man DVD Blast!

There's no need to say a lot to say about the Spider-Man DVD Blast! trivia game. If you enjoy DVD trivia games and you're a fan of the Spider-Man movies, this should be in your game library. Publisher Screenlife has done an excellent job of producing this DVD game, which features a good variety of mini-games and puzzles for the two competing teams to solve.

To play Spider-Man DVD Blast!, players are split into two teams. Some of the questions and puzzles are played by all players at the same time, while others are played by one team at a time. Scoring is handled by the DVD.

A variety of challenges are included. Players are asked to put scenes in the correct chronological order, to identify characters or objects which have been digitally removed from a scene, to solve word puzzles in the style of Wheel of Fortune, to answer questions after watching a movie clip, and more.

Six games are included on the DVD; the only downside of this format is that once you've played all six, the DVD is finished. But that still adds up to hours of fun, and more than enough to recommend buying this game.
