Is there more to the game than shocking?

All it does is shock you. It's very fun though! You can set the shock level one through four, one barely hurts but it still surprises me. Their is a light in the middle and when it changes to green everyone has to push the button on their handle fast! The slowest person gets shocked. Their is also a mode where only the fastest person doesn't get shocked. This is one of my fav games to play with friends. It does scare me, but that's the fun in it. The object is to push the button the fastest, and the punishment is the shock if you are slow. Also theirs intense music playing while you play. Hope this helped :). All it does is shock you.

the shocking itself is no big deal, it's the anticipation of being shocked that's the fun part, watching other players'sreactions is priceless!

No, the game is that music plays for a random length of time, when the music stops, you press the button. Last one to press it receives a shock that can be changed to 4 levels of intensity. There is a secondary setting that makes it so everyone but the first person to press the button receives a shock. That's about all the functionality there is.

No and Yes ...the no is that it only shocks (use the highest setting, you can't really feel it if it is on the lesser of the options) and Yes, no one wants to play the game with me. :( It is fun for those of us that have a warped sense of humor like me. It does not shock anyone to where it hurts. It's just Hope this helps.

Roughly. It Depends on the number of people and just the general hands you are dealt. We've had games last under an hour, some games longer. It's a lot of fun regardless since the object of the game is to sabotage other players, so they can't get mad at you. Only get even. :D

It is playable and fun; playing with only two really changes some of the fundamental dynamics of the game, which is interesting on occasion to mix it up. But the game was really shines with more players--really the more the better.

If they have crads against humanity then yes. But personally I think it's more of an adult game 17 and older. My opinion though.

Yes, It's said to be a very watered-down version of Arkham Horror. It is like "Monster Yatzee", if that makes any sense. Cooperative aspects are there, but you still have to fend for yourself individually. At times it will feel like a horror-themed old school RPG video game. You will cheer at making the "clutch" (completing the required task on the last dice rolls). The only drawback in my opinion is the small components. Otherwise, great intro game.

Absolutely. This isn't a continuation of the first game. This is a version of the first game with expanded game play. Set-up and reading the instructions is simple and you should be able to play and understand the game pretty quickly.

It's worth getting it if u haven't watched all the game plays of it, because if u do then u know where the scariest parts are going to be at. I watched the game plays before getting it and made it to easy, but it was still fun tho. Maybe u should get it play it then record someone who has not heard or played it try it out that would be fun to see.

I admire the game for its artwork and creation of a fascinating virtual world. It is amazing what level of realism can be achieved with plain software. Some of the actions and decisions that players have to take in this game can feel quite disturbing though. I can understand why the game is controversial. While I believe that violent games don't necessarily have a negative impact on the development of children, I probably would not let my children play this particular game.

I picked up the story after a few minutes. They pretty much flash back the entirety of the first two games. The story however isn't really that relevant to the game play.

The game does have a great way of introducing you to the game mechanics. After a short time I felt like I had a good handle of the game.

Yes. Definetely for adults. We were introduced to the game by another couple we met. The 4 of us played along with my 16yr old.

it's the full game, but the game is bad. really bad. that's probably why they've lowered the price after only being out for a week. don't buy it. you will be disappointed.

It's pretty fun with 2 or 4. Basically, it's two teams of 2 against each other. The point goal is raised to compensate and the gameplay changes just a little, but overall it's just as fun. In general this game takes a learning curve, so be prepared for the first couple of games to take a while, but the more you get a hang of it the funnier and faster gameplay becomes.
