Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action is a video game adaptation of popular DVD-based party game of the same name exclusively for the Xbox 360. The game features over 1,800 questions. Downloadable content through Xbox Live was planned for the game for early 2008, but it never materialized, most likely due to the release of the sequel, Scene It? Box Office Smash. The game was introduced at E3 2007 by Microsoft and released on November 6, 2007. The game includes footage from many movies including Kramer vs. Kramer, Caveman, and Charlie's Angels.

Gameplay

Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action is identical in gameplay to the original DVD version, but features over 20 new types of puzzle challenges, including:

Big Button Pad

The game can be played with an Xbox 360 controller, but comes bundled with four special wireless controllers called Big Button Pads which resemble game show buzzers. Each controller has one large "buzzer" button at the top, the A, B, X, and Y buttons arranged vertically, and an Xbox Guide button.

Xbox 360 Big Button Pads with the infrared receiver

The controllers use infrared rather than Microsoft's proprietary wireless standard, and whilst the Xbox 360 has an infrared receiver, it is not designed to interface with four devices simultaneously; therefore a sensor add-on is included and must be plugged into the 360 for the controllers to be usable.

Other games such as Uno and Wits and Wagers have added support for the Big Button Pads.

Awards

Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action was an Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominee for 2007 Family Game of the Year.[1]

Sequel

A sequel, Scene It? Box Office Smash was released on October 28, 2008.
