Scene It? review for Xbox 360
Let's not beat around the bush here - Scene It? is Microsoft's attempt to ‘do' Buzz - the PS2's family-friendly (and really quite popular) quiz series. In fact, they share so many similarities, we'd be surprised if Sony wasn't getting in touch with its lawyers right about now. The controllers are very similar, the structure of the game is near-identical, and they're both presented by annoying idiots who repeat themselves constantly and make you wish you had an option to turn them off. Grr.

In truth, that's being a little harsh on the controllers, which are probably the best thing about the game. As befits a peripheral named Big Button Controller (yep, really), you have a large circular button at the top, with the 360's standard four coloured face buttons arranged vertically underneath. They're wireless, running off 2 AA batteries each (thoughtfully, MS has included eight with the game - nice touch), and utilise an infra-red USB hub which reads any and all button presses. Most importantly they're really nicely designed, both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to hold. It's nice to be able to sit back on the sofa and just roughly aim at the telly, and unlike Buzz there's no untangling of pesky wires before the game begins. Good stuff.
