Gameplay

Gameplay in Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action

Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action is a trivia game similar to other games in the series where up to four players test their movie trivia knowledge over several themed rounds composed of five questions each. One round requires them to watch a scene from a specific movie, while others are based on quotes, scrolling credits, or a child's drawing.

Development

The game was announced at E3 2007.[3]

Big Button Pad

Xbox 360 Big Button Pads with the infrared receiver

The game comes bundled with four special wireless controllers called Big Button Pads, which work similarly to the Buzz! buzzer controllers. Each Big Button Pad has one large "buzzer" button at the top and four smaller buttons for answering multiple-choice questions. The Big Button Pads use infrared rather than Microsoft's proprietary wireless standard, and while the Xbox 360 has an infrared receiver, it is not designed to interface with four devices simultaneously; therefore a sensor add-on is included and must be plugged into the Xbox 360 for the Big Button Pads to be usable.[4]
