Up to four players can race for pie.
EA’s version of the classic Hasbro trivia game has four game modes: Classic is you against the computer in the original board game; you choose the original rules or the speedier version, where you get a pie piece after answering any of the multiple-choice questions correctly. Pursuit mode is a one-player game that adds a speed element. You answer questions to move your piece along a path toward the finish, and the quicker you answer, the farther your piece moves. At the end of each level you get a medal based on how many questions you needed to reach the goal.
Pass N Play lets you play Classic or Pursuit mode with up to three other players, passing one iPhone around. And Wi-Fi Multiplayer does the same, except using multiple iPhones on the same wireless network.
We like the statistics screen, which includes per-category scores and a tally of how many questions you’ve answered in each category, among other stats. The music is lame, but if your iPod is playing when you launch the game, your music keeps playing--every game should do this.
With smooth animation, total stability, and tons of replayability, Trivial Pursuit is worth $5 for fans of the board game, or any trivia junkie.
