Quiz/Trivia

Overview

Hasbro Family Game Night 4: The Game Show is the fourth and final entry in the series, released for the PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360. This installment is a lot different than the previous entries; it was developed by Wahoo Studios instead of EA Bright Light, and was based on the series' TV game show adaptation on The Hub. Its host Todd Newton supplied the game's commentary.

The game is based on the first season of the game show, and adapts several games from it: Bop It! Boptagon, Connect 4 Basketball, Scrabble Flash/Boggle Flash, Sorry! Sliders and Yahtzee Bowling. As with Family Game Night 3, the Wii and Xbox 360 versions use Miis and Xbox Avatars as playable characters, while the PlayStation 3 version uses its own avatars.

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions add motion controller support (PlayStation Move and Kinect), of which the functionality was previously exclusively used in the Wii version using the Wii Remote, like with the prior installments. Unlike the previous entries, this one lacks an online mode due to the game being released as a $40 budget title and thus ineligible to be included on EA's online pass.
