Editorial Review:
This game captures all of the essential elements of the classic TV show Jeopardy. There's the blue monitor wall filled with mind-busting questions, the addictive theme song, and--heck--even Alex Trebek!
Solo players can compete against computer contestants, who will occasionally miss and sometimes supply clues. Another option is speed Jeopardy, which allows the solo gamer to play one entire Jeopardy board alone. And with a multiplayer adapter, you can play against up to two other human contestants. If you know the rules of the TV show, then you are already prepared for the home version. The host will give you an answer, and you must correctly identify the right question. You've got four seconds to offer your response to one of numerous trivia and question challenges spanning several categories. Because there is no keyboard, you must choose your response letter by letter, using the left and right arrows of your controller. This can get tedious, but you can use the "answer completion" mode to have the computer fill in the word after a few letters. And don't worry about framing your answer as a question, the computer automatically does that for you.
The game boasts 3,500 questions. However, we found that some category repetition will begin after two or three games. If you have a memory card, the repetition is less likely to occur. As for getting the correct answer, that's between you and your brain. --Kasty Thomas
Pros: - Faithful to original game
- Multiplayer support
Cons: - Category repetition begins after 2 or 3 games
- Jeopardy still humbles the soul

Rating:  - Jeopardy! Second Edition is much better.
I bought Jeopady! Second Edition and my wife and I play it almost every day (please see my review for that game--five stars). Worried about running out of questions, I decided to buy this edition of Jeopardy. While the gameplay is the almost the same, this edition is not up to par with the second edition. In fact, if I had bought this edition first, I'm not so sure if my wife and I would be as hooked on playing Jeopardy as we are today. The differences between the two games are:

Rating: - Great Game... BUT>>>
I really liked this game compared to earlier video game versions. I dont like the write you own name feature... Im not at all fond of how dark the board is.. and how much we have to adjust the color and brightness on our screen to see the board, then adjust it back when we are finished. The questions are difficult and exactly what we hoped. Answering is rather difficult at first, and the auto complete is nice, except you have to be really careful... learned that the hard way... I would have given ... Read More

I liked this game very much. It makes you think, and peruses the mind just like the TV show. I like the fact that a person can sit in front of their TV for hours and learn different subjects every time they play Jeopardy. I have to say that this is a very addictive game.
Rating:  - The Slowest Interface in Gaming
Sure, you think it's cool to play Jeopardy on the PlayStation. And it would be, if the interface for you, the player, were faster than molasses running uphill in the ice age.
The "wheel of death" for entering the answers is the most hideous application of player-game interaction we've ever seen. You must scroll through the "wheel of death" to select the letters one by one; and then the game will eventually fill in the rest of the answer for you. But if it's a long answer, ... Read More
