Shout About Movies is a movie trivia DVD game played entirely on a television.[2] The game is designed to be played with four or more players, a DVD player and a television is the only device necessary to play the game. Players split up into two teams, shout out answers to movie trivia questions, and use the remote to keep score. Whichever player shouts the answer correctly, their team gets the point. The game has eight rounds. Similar to You Don't Know Jack and Trivial Pursuit, the DVD keeps track of the score. Each DVD contains three games.
The game consists of 8 rounds.[3] [4]
The game was released on November 20, 2004. It was met with positive reviews. Kidz World awarded the game 5 out of 5 stars, praising the game's "excitement."[5] CNN's review was also positive, praising the game's layout and production but expressing concern over the fact that the game cannot easily be replayed (due to the fact that each game never changes). In a review for DVD Talk, critic Adam Tyner praised the game's interface and difficulty level, and argued that although the DVD's three games weren't replayable, the game's price was comparable to a movie on DVD.
ODVD has created 4 volumes of "Shout About Movies", as well as 2 volumes each of "Shout About Music" and "Shout About Television", and one volume each of "Shout About Country Music", and a Spanish-language music game called "Grita y Acierta". Most recently ODVD created the "Trivial Pursuit: Totally On-Screen" DVD game, which puts the game board on-screen for a faster-paced game with more head-to-head competition, video clips, and music.
