GameSpot: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Review

GameSpot writes: "With the addition of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? to the Xbox 360's growing stack of quiz games, you have yet another solid collection of questions to dip into. Though you might scoff at the price of 1,200 Microsoft points, your 15 bucks goes a long way in this well-realized Xbox Live Arcade adaptation of the popular TV gameshow. The wide variety of subjects, the seemingly endless questions, and a stellar vibe that fully brings the elementary-school-themed television show to life make Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? a worthy inclusion on your list of downloadable games, a few minor hindrances notwithstanding."

The Good

* Lots of trivia questions
* Many subjects/categories to choose from
* Fully captures the gameshow's vibe
* Multiplayer is fun with family and friends.

The Bad

* Some questions are out of place and way too tough
* Jagged edges on character models
* Poor Big Button Pad implementation.
