Players answer a variety of questions, and then the words used in their answers are shared among the group. The basic premise is that players are interviewing for a job where the boss is a sentient water cooler. Job Job is a new mini-game in The Jackbox Party Pack 8, and it has a fairly bizarre concept. Besides Wheel of Enormous Proportions, this is also apparent in the new Job Job mini-game. The writing in The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is great, with the game filled with sharp wit and a generally great sense of humor. The titular wheel in the Wheel of Enormous Proportions talks to players throughout the game and in typical Jackbox fashion, has some pretty hilarious things to say. Players have to physically "spin" the wheel using their mobile device, which makes Wheel of Enormous Proportions a touch more interactive than the trivia offerings in previous Jackbox games. The more slices players collect during the trivia questions, the more chances they have to earn points from the wheel. Wheel of Enormous Proportions has players answering a variety of questions and if they're successful, they earn "slices." These slices can later be used on a wheel that players can spin to earn points. Wheel of Enormous Proportions is the trivia game representative for The Jackbox Party Pack 8 with some interesting twists to help it stand apart from its predecessors. While many will likely try Drawful Animate out first since it's at the top of the menu, players might end up having more fun with the four other mini-games available, like Wheel of Enormous Proportions. These alternate modes mean players should still get some decent mileage out of Drawful Animate, especially if they find the right group of friends to play with.
#THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK 4 REVIEW PLUS#
Unlike most Jackbox Party Pack mini-games, Drawful Animate has a standard mode along with a Friend Mode that has players animating scenes about the other players in the game (which usually has the funniest results), plus Make Your Own and Featured Content modes as well. In any case, Drawful Animate otherwise provides an experience that should be familiar to Drawful fans, and it gets bonus points for having multiple game modes. Of course, this problem is negated if players are in a group that draws at the same pace, though that seems highly unlikely. Those that do manage to draw fast will find that they're spending a great deal of time waiting around for the other players to finish their drawings. Players are given three minutes to draw both slides, and since they have to be a bit more careful with their drawings if they want the animations to look good, players will take their time more than they ever have before. The main issue is that turns tend to take longer with Drawful Animate. This opens the door for new possibilities when it comes to Drawful hilarity, but there are some drawbacks unique to Drawful Animate when compared to previous versions of the mini-game. With Drawful Animate, Jackbox Party Pack 8 players are first given a prompt to draw something on one slide, and then they animate it on a second slide by retracing certain lines and tweaking the image as necessary.
The basic premise of Drawful is retained with Drawful Animate, but, as its name implies, players are now tasked with animating their drawings. The fan-favorite Drawful game has evolved into Drawful Animate for The Jackbox Party Pack 8 and is arguably the major selling point of the collection.
