Quiz Climber
SCORE: 81
Quiz based video games try all kinds of
things to make the experience fun, and fresh. There can be hosts who
capture your attention, or consulting children, or well you get the
idea. Quiz Climber lets the player take on the role of a cute little
squirrel like creature. Every right answer allows the player to jump to
a higher limb. Sharing Quiz Climber with friends and answering questions
right help the character build life lines. The life lines will grant the
player additional chances.
The characters have some nice little animations. The funniest little
animations are when your critter shares a limb with a friend's creature.
They are not happy about having company. They are even unhappier when
you climb higher. I found that some of the limbs look very similar to
other ones. After enough times I did get tired of hitting the fifth limb
over and over again.
The music in Quiz Climber is fantastic. It has a real fun feel to it.
The special effect sounds fit Quiz Climber masterfully. I especially
enjoyed the special effect sounds when I answered a question right. The
amount of questions in Quiz Climber is beyond amazing. I noticed some
attitude in some of them, and I did not always agree with it.
Quiz Climber includes over a thousand different questions. Chillingo is
going to regularly update the questions as well. There are leaderboards,
and a lot of social aspects to Quiz Climber. Players can compare their
scores to friends on Facebook, and invite friends to play. I found Quiz
Climber to be extremely addicting. I wanted to do better, and build up
more life lines.
Quiz games are all about what you know. If you don't know the answer,
then you have a 25% chance of getting it right. Certain questions have a
pattern that can be used. I had no idea who some singer was, but when
the choices were Lady Gogo, Lady Gaga, Lady Gigi, and Lady Gugu I had a
decent idea of what the right answer is. I had fun playing Quiz Climber,
and realizing how much I did know. My sons were not as impressed with
Quiz Climber though.
The main lesson in Quiz Climber is to test your knowledge. Many of the
questions in Quiz Climber exhibit a level of worldliness. I also noticed
a worshiping of musicians and actors. There are also questions that have
a light belief in evolution. I noticed a few Bible based questions which
were really neat to see. Questions can change over time so there is no
telling what will come out in the future.
