REVIEW:
Grab some popcorn and prepare to laugh out loud! Scene It? Comedy Movies HD ($4.99) is chock full of more than 100 video clips and hundreds of trivia questions wrapped up in 16 unique puzzle types, containing licensed images, audio clips, and more.

Put simply, if you like comedy movies and want to show off your uber trivia knowledge, you’ve found your dream app!

Taking full advantage of the iPad’s brilliant screen, HD video clips from many of the latest comedy flicks are perfectly rendered for viewing on the device.

Plus, a trio of game modes – single, multiplayer, and ‘Party Pad’ – makes it easy to get your game on alone or with friends and family. Multiplayer allows for head-to-head local challenges via Bluetooth or wifi, while Party Pad kicks things up a notch with in-room group play using a single iDevice.

I went into my first few games thinking I’d clean up; sadly, the game quickly let me know that my trivia chops were in need of some updating. I came across a fair amount of clips I couldn’t identify, only to discover that they were taken from movies released within the past year or so.

This is a blessing and a curse; if you’re up to date with your comedy movies, you’ll have a blast! If you’re a little rusty, some homework might be necessary to excel. Netflix, here I come.
