THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK 2 XBOX 360 CODE
Jackbox Games provided us with The Jackbox Party Pack 8 Xbox Series X code for review purposes.Video Games (Accessories and Games) 15 Days Returnable But The Jackbox Party Pack 8 may be better than most of the other entries in the series - and seeing as we’re talking about a series that has produced some amazing games, that should tell you a lot. I mean, the whole game leads to moments of hilarity that’s the point of Jackbox, after all. It leads to some truly bizarre moments - some of the prompts I got, for example, were “Why are peacocks overrated?” and “How would you fare at a rodeo?” - but they lead to moments of hilarity. It gives you writing prompts, then throws your answer over to someone else and asks them to use your words to formulate answers to job interview questions. Likewise, Job Job depends on playing with a good group of people - but if the people are good, the game is outstanding. As you can tell from those examples, Drawful Animate is deeply weird (and, with those typos, also keen to throw in a few spelling curves to keep the game from getting too easy), but with the right group of people, it’s amazing. However hard it may be, however, the game is hilarious enough that you won’t mind drawing, say, “Grass grows on my favourite foot”, or “Getting a sparkly spanking,” or “Best friends at circust schooool”. As the title implies, you have to animate your drawings - which is almost as tough as it sounds, even though you only have to draw two frames. One, of course, is the latest Drawful game, Drawful Animate. It’s the other two games, though, that stand out as the go-to titles of the bunch. As someone who likes trivia, that was kind of infuriating, but it certainly ensures that no one ever feels totally out of a game. The twist, though, is that the game gives out points pretty freely, so it’s not impossible for even the worst trivia player to come from behind and win a game. Answer more questions, and you get a bigger piece of the wheel. You answer questions, and then you spin a wheel to try and get it to land on your piece. The Wheel of Enormous Proportions is also interesting, but in a different way: it combines trivia with random chance. It’s not as funny as the usual Jackbox fare, but it does require you to try and figure out how everyone else thinks, which is always an interesting challenge. Take Poll Mine, for example: it’s a dungeon-crawler of sorts, where you answer questions and then have to guess how your group as a whole ranked the answers. The reason it stands out in a negative way, though, is because the other four games here don’t require too much qualification. In the right hands and with the right group, however, I could see the murder mystery being kind of fun. If you’re playing with a bunch of people who are into social deduction games it may seem more intuitive, but I wasn’t, so it didn’t. The only game I’d classify as a dud would be Weapons Drawn, the latest attempt to include a social deduction game in the Party Packs - and honestly, it’s not even a dud so much as it’s fairly complicated, and requires a fair amount of explanation.
That said, in some ways Jackbox Party Pack 8 seems like it might be the most reliably solid Party Pack yet.
On top of that, your feelings towards the games will be influenced by who you play with - if you play with people who share your sense of humour and who enjoy the games, they’ll be awesome, while conversely, it doesn’t matter if you’re playing the most reliably amazing games, if the people you’re with aren’t funny, the game will be a drag. Meanwhile, I love Bidiots, but I always get outvoted when I want to play it. The wrinkle in that truism, however, is that not everyone shares the same definitions of “great” and “dud.” I know some people who swear that Guesspionage (from Party Pack 3) and Dictionarium (Party Pack 6) are amazing, but I couldn’t care less for them. As I’ve written before (and numerous others have also noted), the formula for The Jackbox Party Packs seems pretty straightforward by now: you have a couple of great games, some okay ones, and a dud.
