Family Feud: 2012 Edition

Family Feud: 2012 Edition is a video game based on the TV series "Family Feud". It is the first Family Feud video game to be released for the Xbox 360 and the third to be developed by Ludia Inc. for the Wii. In Family Feud, one hundred people were interviewed and gave answers to various questions. Two families then compete against each other by trying to guess the best answers to each question. In each round, one member of each family is asked to go to the moderator in the middle of the stage and answer a question. The player who answers the quickest gets to answer first. If he/she does not give the first answer, the other player can also give his/her answer. The player with the best answer then decides whether he/she wants to "play" or "pass". If the player decides to "play", his/her family must guess all the answers in order to win the round. If the player decides to pass, the opposing family must find all the answers. Each wrong answer results in a strike. After three strikes, the other family has the chance to steal the points. To do this, they must find a correct answer that has not yet been given. When all the rounds are over, the family with the most points gets to play "fast money". In "Fast Money", the player must answer the same five questions twice (or in multiplayer mode, two players can answer the five questions each). If the player reaches 200 points or more in the "Fast Money" round, he/she wins $20,000! Family Feud: 2012 Edition includes over 2000 survey questions, three difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard), a party mode for up to 4 players, bonus videos with Steve Harvey and lets players play as their avatar on Xbox 360 or as Mii on Wii. In challenge mode, 1 to 4 players can play cooperatively against 16 different families. Each family has its own themed niche (a beach, a mansion, a spaceship, a prehistoric cave, a haunted house, a private boat, a bowling alley, etc.). In party mode, 2 to 4 players can compete against each other. Kinect features were developed for the game on the Xbox 360, but were eventually dropped as they did not add any fun to the game. It was then decided to port the game to the Wii as well.
