1 Vs. 100 Beta Review

I have scoured the internet and have not seen one review of the beta, possibly because it is in Beta stage, but I feel that this game is complete, so I am going to review it as such.

Ok? Good, lets begin. To start with, 1 Vs. 100 beta is a free game offered to all Xbox Live Gold Members, that lets thousands of players play in a live game show right from their couch, with their avatar being their virtual representative. During the live show, one person is chosen to compete against the Mob, which is made up of 100 of the best players (supposedly, more on this later). The goal of the game for the one is to eliminate all of the 100 mob players by answering answers correctly. The way the one is chosen is completely random, and it can be anyone. If you are chosen as one of the mob members, you have to answer every question correctly and outsmart the one to possibly win prizes(when beta mode is over). If you answer one incorrect answer your out of the mob, but fear not because you can still play in the Crowd.

The Crowd is made up of everyone that is not in the mob or the one, we are talking about up to 250,000 players all together playing a live game. If your in the crowd the objective is to try to answer as many questions correctly as you can, and as fast as you can. The premise of being in the Crowd is that the better you do, the better the chance you have of getting into the Mob.

The game show has two modes: The live show, and extended play. The live show is hosted by a real life guy named Chris Cashman, and it is live, not recorded. Jen Taylor(cortana from halo) is the typical host that keeps the game moving along, and asking questions. The voice of Jen Taylor isn't live, but you couldn't tell as it flows very smoothly. Then there is the extended play, which does not have a live host, mob, or the one player. Instead in this mode, it has a different theme for each show, and all players just play together to try to get the best score.

My Verdict: This is one of the best overall experiences one can have on Xbox Live, it is family friendly, has a huge variety of questions, always entertaining, and is very addictive. To all of those who haven't played, get in there and have some fun already.
