The world spends too much time & money on junk like grand theft auto. My kids and I love it. This game is an excellent tool to teach your kids about the word of God. I wish they would make more games like this one. Instead this game is well worth your time & money as well as a learning tool about Gods word.
As a family-friendly title for the Xbox, I can't say the Bible Game doesn't get the job done.Multiple mini-games and a Christian-based soundtrack round-out what would otherwise be a perfect Wii-port. It's not a great game by a long shot, but anyone who's looking for a simultaneous 4-player game that's setup like a gameshow, you can't go wrong with the Bible Game.
If you just want to entertain the kiddies for a few minutes, this game is fine. If we are to spread the word, we need to start by not making bad video games. That pins you against either 4 human or computer controlled characters. If you pick any fruit, other than the apple, you get a lot of extra points. This has the feel of "stab your neighbor in the back". Once again, Nice way to spread the love of God.
honestly, Most stories in the Bible could honestly make for an awesome gaming experience if we focused on one character such as David. As a pastor, I'm embarrassed to see that this is what we Christians have to offer the public. The video game is based around a game show. But considering we are to show the excellence of God, in all that we do, this game falls way too short. The challenges are both trivia and minigames which consist of questions that are repeated all too often. Otherwise, there's just not much fun to be had. However if you pick the apple, you lose all of your points. Just so we get this clear.
Each player takes turns randomly jumping onto different points on the game board. You would think, if you truly had God on your side, you'd be able to produce a better game. One of these pieces is "The Wrath of God", where you lose all of your points for the round if you land on it. Most of the games have a Christian soundtrack so either you'll enjoy the game because you like it or you'll enjoy it because the songs are so painfully annoying.
However Crave's The Bible Game appears to be mostly devoid of compelling content, or honestly, any kind of Christian message at all. Pros:The Tower of Babel minigame is fun Cons: Most of the other games are boring, The game mechanics are mushy The game claims to have over 1500 Bible questions but you only have access to the questions based on the difficulty you set for the game at the beginning so players get ripped off by not getting the total game experience. It seems decent enough however until you realize there is very little order to how the game is run. In the final round, Players have a chance to get some extra points from the Tree of Knowledge. Nice way to spread the Love of God.
One of the best games is the tower of Babel. Once again this is completely random and you wonder why you should even try. The Wrath of God is completely random and the deserving and undeserving are likely to land on it. This game seems to favor focusing on the mean spirited God of the Old Testament and leave out Jesus altogether. There seems to be no message at all about the core belief of Jesus and what our message is, The Great Commission.
The Bible game teaches more than just Bible trivia, it also teaches giving unselfishly, helping one another, and what can happen if you choose to take the wrong path (ie: the Wrath of God and the Grace of God). Turns out this game is my kids favorite game to play. I bought this game for my kids at Christmas, hoping that they would play it and not realize they were learning about the Bible in the process. I have nephews that have never attended Church and they came over and they played it and had a blast, (even though they didn't know any of the trivia answers) but they also learn from this game. I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone, I am hoping to see more games like this one in the future, maybe The Bible Game II : The New Testament
Yes you do but it goes deeper than that. This game may seem corny but it is a great game for all. I was hoping that they do a Bible game 2 about the new testament. I sure hope they do. The games are fun and yet easy to play. Especially when it comes to learning more about the bible. It's all about learning about the bible not winning the game. I would buy it.
