Football Genius: The Ultimate Quiz Review

Football Genius is the perfect filler whilst you are in between watching games during this years World Cup.

There are more than 3,500 questions split between the English, Spanish, German, Italian and French games so there is no doubt that you will need to know your European football. It’s not just the number of questions that will keep you guessing, it’s also the game modes and the way the questions are posed. You get to choose between Full and Half time modes which are basically long or short games.

There are plenty of games types to keep things fresh and those of you who have played Scene it! will settle into the style of rounds really quickly. For example there are rounds where pictures slowly come into focus and you’re forced to guess the name of the player or coach, matching player names with regular pictures, and pop-up clues that get more and more obvious as your point reward dwindles among others.

You can play on your own or with 3 others on your console, you can also take on 3 others online. If you have the Big Button pads you can use though too. Graphically the game is nothing to shout home about, but the game makes good use of your avatars and there are nice football animations between rounds.

Football Genius: The Ultimate Quiz is definitely one for football fans, the questions are fun and varied and will keep you amused for a good while. It will be even better if you get some die hard football fans round for a battle of the football brain.

If you need an extra excuse the game is currently the Deal of the Week at only 400pts on the xBox Live Marketplace.
