The Jackbox Party Pack 2

★★★★★ Update: The latest update fixed the issues with Idiots crashing. Seems to be working great now. Best pack of games for a party out there, hands down!

★★★★★ Install issues now fixed, working great on SHIELD TV. Great set of party games and super easy to get going.

★★★★★ This new installment of Jack box is even better than the last. We love every game, and they are varied enough that it is worth buying both as the games are fairly different. Note: Games are played on the tv with each player connecting with their own phone, or tablet, also most games require at least 3 players and are definitely funner with more, so plan on busting this out for parties. If you like Cards Against Humanity then give this a try!

★★☆☆☆ Firstly, I'd like to point out that I own an nVidia Shield TV with a game pad. Here are the issues I had with this game. 1) This game CANNOT be played with a game pad. The description says things like "No extra controllers needed.", but does not point out exactly what they mean. This game can only be played using a phone or another computer because it uses room codes to connect local players together - there is no real local play even with 2 game pads. 2) This game requires a constant internet connection in order to work. If you intend to play this offline, it will not work. This is the biggest issue for me because I intended to play this game at a location without an internet connection. 3) None of this is clearly stated on the product page. If I knew it wasn't really compatible with the Shield, I wouldn't have bought it. One last thing I'd like to mention is that I did not get a refund despite not even being able to play the game. However, an email from Jack box games clearly stated that their company cannot issue refunds and if I wished to obtain one I would need to do so through Google Play. Make sure you are OK with these things before deciding to purchase this game.
