This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Friends: The One with All the Trivia for PlayStation 2
Friends: The One with All the Trivia for PlayStation 2 is a quiz game covering all ten seasons of the television series. More than three thousand questions test knowledge of characters, relationships, events and famous lines. Hundreds of video clips, still images, audio fragments and audience reactions revisit scenes without making you search through individual episodes first.
Questions appear in six forms. Next Line Please asks how a line continues, Says Who who spoke it and What Are They Talking About what the subject is. The One With connects events to episodes, Timeline asks for the right order and Which Friend focuses on one of the six main characters. Janice and Gunther host, while Jack and Judy Geller lead additional rounds.
You can play alone or locally with up to four players. Each participant uses a controller; on a standard PS2, connecting more than two controllers at once requires a multitap. The game stores scores and progress on a memory card and has no online features. Voices and show clips are in English; exact subtitles depend on the European release, so Dutch is not promised.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 2 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Friends: The One with All the Trivia for PlayStation 2 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Friends: The One with All the Trivia
Artech Studios developed Friends: The One with All the Trivia and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released it for PlayStation 2 and Windows in November 2005. Its launch accompanied the complete ten-season DVD collection that Warner had released shortly before. The game was therefore designed as a companion reference and party game for viewers who already knew the series.
Warner used material from the entire run: more than six to seven hundred clips, audio fragments, recurring lines and audience laughter support the questions. Returning actors Maggie Wheeler and James Michael Tyler again voice Janice and Gunther. Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles return as Jack and Judy Geller, making the presentation more than a series of silent multiple-choice screens.
The title appeared after the final television episode aired in 2004 and therefore covers the complete original series. Later mobile Friends games and other quiz products add no questions or features to this PS2 disc. Its local design remains usable without a network service: questions, clips and presenter voices are stored on the disc. It is a standalone quiz release, not an interactive episode or adventure game.
Similar games for PlayStation 2
Buzz! The BIG Quiz uses dedicated buzzer controllers and mixes subjects such as sport, film and general knowledge. Friends works with ordinary PS2 controllers and limits every question and image to the television series.
The Hollywood Quiz uses clips, stars and cinema history from many productions. Friends shares the audiovisual quiz format but explores one sitcom and its ten seasons much more deeply.
Trivial Pursuit Unhinged turns the board game into general categories, a board and spaces. Friends removes the board and alternates six question forms about dialogue, episodes and characters.
Millionaire builds tension with a money ladder, lifelines and one player in the chair. Friends is arranged more loosely for one to four fans and uses show clips as a direct clue or subject.
Hit & Run uses a familiar television series for driving, exploration and missions in Springfield. Friends remains entirely a quiz and does not let players roam freely through New York or the apartments.
Scene It? on the later Xbox 360 uses film clips, wireless buzzers and varied puzzle rounds. Friends appeared earlier, uses ordinary controllers and directs every clip at one television series. Both reward recognising scenes and lines, but Scene It covers many films while Friends can ask details from 236 episodes.
Family Feud asks players to guess popular answers from audience surveys and builds around teams and a game-show board. Friends uses factual answers from episodes and six fixed question types. Both work as local party games, but sitcom knowledge matters here more than predicting what a surveyed group probably said.
