It evens the odds, though players who’ve managed to rack up more wedges on the way to the final round DEFINITLEY have a bigger advantage. Sure, they might have had less points than their opponents, but they’re worth nothing if you don’t have six wedges (the highest scoring player does win if multiple players hit six wedges at the same time though). I’ve put hours upon hours into Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 now and there were plenty of occasions where one player would be trailing behind the others on the wedge count, only to pull it back with a miraculous final round. That final round adds a LOT of tension to the game.

The final round is a lot more generous at handing out wedges though, with players rewarded with one if they manage to get all five questions of a specific topic correct this might seem challenging, but it’s a multiple choice with just two answers on offer, so you’ve got a 50% chance of getting a question right even by guessing. Players earn wedges by hitting certain point thresholds during each game, with points awarded for answering questions correctly. Sometimes its quick-fire question answering, sometimes you’ll get to pick a category to earn bonus points, sometimes you’ll have to race other players to find a correct answer the quickest, whilst other times you might have to pick the best possible answer out of a selection of five choices – whilst each round ultimately boils down to getting the answer right, there’s enough variety to be found to ensure the process is exciting. This is done over either three-round or five-round games, with each round bringing with it a different ruleset that changes up the formula slightly. The core gameplay experience of Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 revolves around earning wedges, with the first player to earn six deemed the winner. Check out a gallery of screenshots down below: Don’t worry though, solo gamers – the online multiplayer options ensure you can have enjoyable competitive showdowns even if you’re having a quiet night in on your own. It’s a really fun party game experience too, especially with a group of friends on a rowdy night in. Yep, there’s no need for board game pieces or some dice here instead, you’ll partake in a game show-style showdown with three other players as you compete to win the title of Trivial Pursuit champ. Ubisoft have brought video game adaptations of familiar game shows such as Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune to consoles in the past, but Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 is their own unique take on the formula (albeit with a Trivial Pursuit-themed twist).
