Do you think you know the extent of Phoebe's kookyness, Chandler's sarcasm and Monica's obsession with cleanliness? Reckon you've got all the relationships the Friends have had committed to memory? Really, even including ten years of Ross and Rachel?! Could you be any bigger a Friends fan? Well, now here's a game that'll test you to the limit!

It goes without saying that Friends - The One With All The Trivia has a limited audience, as only Friends fans need apply - but that's a pretty big audience! As one of the most successful comedies of all time (and one I am a huge fan of!) there will be plenty of people out there who're up for revisiting classic moments and seeing just how much they know about their favourite comedy show.

The game itself is pretty straightforward, giving you the option of single, double or triple length games and the choice of a time limited or unlimited game. The caffeinated mode is a quick fire timed round, where a mug of coffee gradually empties while you race against the clock to answer as many questions as you can. The decaffeinated mode sees you answering questions to light up windows in the Friends apartment building, and it can last for a long time, as you're penalised for every wrong answer by having a lit window taken away - indeed, this can be a mammoth tug of war type struggle to win and can last a good while!

The game boasts over 3,000 questions, featuring over 650 video clips and spanning all ten years of the TV show - that's a lot of Friends! Even after you've been playing for a while, there's very little in the way of repetition and if you're using a player profile, then repetition is reduced to virtually nothing, as the game seems to keep track of the questions you've answered.

The range of categories and subjects is huge - there are six main categories, including relationships (friendly, work and romantic), shake-ups and make-ups (all about the more long-running romances), work and play, memorable moments, friends of Friends (guest stars, pets, peripheral characters) and wild card, which could be about anything. Beyond this, there's a huge range of question types, some of which make great use of the video clips. The regular questions include matching a quote to the character who said it, matching a nickname to a character, answering real life trivia about the stars, identifying where a certain event takes place, answering a question about secondary characters and so on. However, the real fun is to be had with the many video clip questions - a clip plays and then you might be asked for the next line, or what happens next, where the scene takes place (not always as obvious as you'd think!), who or what they are talking about, or to name the episode, amongst others.

Of course, whichever type of question you get, the answers are always given in multiple-choice and it's a credit to the developers of the game that all four alternatives are feasible, especially when it comes to picking the next line or what happened next - a lot of work must have been put into writing all the wrong answers and making them convincing for the situation, or sound like the kind of thing a specific character might say. You only have a few seconds to make your choice too, as each question is timed (regardless of whether the overall game is timed or not) and so the pressure is on!

In multiplayer there are another two modes, buzz in and all-play. Buzz in is actually very annoying and quite badly designed, because up to four of you are playing for control of the game before you can light a window. For example, if Player 1 is in control and Player 2 buzzes in first and answers correctly, then Player 2 wins control but doesn't light a window. Only the player in control can light a window, so you basically have to buzz in and answer two questions in a row correctly to get a window, which is a lot easier said than done! These games can turn into endless bouts of wrestling for control where no-one scores for ages, and add to the fact that you lose a window for a wrong answer and things could go on for hours and end up killing the fun. This mode is also flawed in the sense that you have to buzz in after reading the question but before seeing the choices - so even if you haven't got a clue, you can hammer your buzzer button and then take advantage of looking at the possible answers while the time ticks away, the other players powerless to intervene.

So, it's best to skip buzz in and go for all-play, where all players (again up to four) answer the question by pressing the appropriate button and those that get it right get a window lit. Wrong answers don't see you having a window removed either, so it doesn't hurt in this mode to have a guess, even if you turn out to be wrong. This mode is over relatively fast, is a lot of fun and is nicely balanced in all respects, making for the perfect slice of entertainment when you have friends over who love the show as much as you do. There are three categories of difficulty to pick from, and while the easy category is sometimes a little easier and the hard a little harder, I didn't feel that they were that well balanced. Then again, I guess it's a case of what you remember from the show - some people's memories work very different to others!

The presentation of the game is spot on - it's simple, quick (with no loading other than at the start and end of the game) and looks nice, with clearly displayed questions and answers, and good quality video clips. The categories and question types are visually distinctive too, so after a few minutes of play you'll know exactly what type of question is coming next. And the voiceovers are excellent - rather than getting some anonymous announcer to read the questions and answers, the actors and actresses who play Jack and Judy Geller, Janice and Gunther from the series do a superb job and they read everything in character, often adding little remarks or asides that raise a chuckle and fit in perfectly with how they were on the show. These extra bits are well written and add a lot to the game, as do the various sound clips from the main stars that sometimes play in response to answering either right or wrong.

However, regardless of how huge a Friends nut you are, this game isn't going to last forever - it's definitely one to be enjoyed in short bursts alone or pulled out for a bout of multiplayer fun, but won't hold up to prolonged play. Unless you really are totally obsessed, in which case why aren't you busy watching the TV show?!

Friends - The One With All The Trivia is a great party game for Friends fans and one that can be enjoyed alone too, perfect for testing just how knowledgeable you really are about all things to do with the show. It's very well presented and the voice actors read the questions with great style, putting it a cut above the average quiz game, but it'll only endure beyond short bouts of play for the most ardent of fans. Now if you'll excuse me, I suddenly have a strong desire to watch an episode of Friends, The One With…
