The bible game

This game is an excellent tool to teach your kids about the word of God. My kids and I love it. I wish they would make more games like this one. The world spends too much time & money on junk like grand theft auto. Instead this game is well worth your time & money as well as a learning tool about Gods word.

Good, but not too great

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.

Great Sunday school game but problems

This is one of the few Christian games that are really enjoyable. It has a game show format with side games that can be hard if you dont read the summary before the game. I think that 9 years and older will enjoy this.

One complaint was that you couldnt modify your on screen player. So if you had 4 girls playing then one had to be a boy which didnt go over well. There are three rounds and the game show takes 45mins to 1 hours to complete.

The lead changes and the score can change with the principle "The first will be last" so expect some surprises.

I don't know if God would like this

You would think, if you truly had God on your side, you'd be able to produce a better game. However Crave's The Bible Game appears to be mostly devoid of compelling content, or honestly, any kind of Christian message at all.
The video game is based around a game show. That pins you against either 4 human or computer controlled characters. It seems decent enough however until you realize there is very little order to how the game is run. Each player takes turns randomly jumping onto different points on the game board. One of these pieces is "The Wrath of God", where you lose all of your points for the round if you land on it. Just so we get this clear. The Wrath of God is completely random and the deserving and undeserving are likely to land on it. Nice way to spread the Love of God.
In the final round, Players have a chance to get some extra points from the Tree of Knowledge. If you pick any fruit, other than the apple, you get a lot of extra points. However if you pick the apple, you lose all of your points. Once again this is completely random and you wonder why you should even try. This game seems to favor focusing on the mean spirited God of the Old Testament and leave out Jesus altogether. Once again, Nice way to spread the love of God.
The challenges are both trivia and minigames which consist of questions that are repeated all too often. 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.
One of the best games is the tower of Babel. This has the feel of "stab your neighbor in the back". Otherwise, there's just not much fun to be had. 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.
As a pastor, I'm embarrassed to see that this is what we Christians have to offer the public. If you just want to entertain the kiddies for a few minutes, this game is fine. honestly, Most stories in the Bible could honestly make for an awesome gaming experience if we focused on one character such as David. But considering we are to show the excellence of God, in all that we do, this game falls way too short. There seems to be no message at all about the core belief of Jesus and what our message is, The Great Commission. If we are to spread the word, we need to start by not making bad video games.

Pros:The Tower of Babel minigame is fun
Cons: Most of the other games are boring, The game mechanics are mushy

The Best Xbox Game Yet!!!

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. Turns out this game is my kids favorite game to play. 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. 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). 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

Great Game for all......

This game may seem corny but it is a great game for all. Especially when it comes to learning more about the bible. The games are fun and yet easy to play. It's all about learning about the bible not winning the game. Yes you do but it goes deeper than that. I was hoping that they do a Bible game 2 about the new testament. I sure hope they do. I would buy it.

What are you looking for in a game?

I have been eyeing this game ever since it came out and I finally bought it because it was on sale for a ridiculously cheap price. I think I was looking forward to the trivia part of the game more than the Bible-themed challenges, but the trivia aspect of the game doesn't tend to show up very much.

The game is in a game-show format with four players. The person who is "in control of the board" selects a box, behind which there may be a challenge, a trivia question, an opportunity to steal points from someone else, or the "Wrath of God," which takes away all of your points for that round (an extremely frustrating aspect of the game that I could have done without). There is a timer counting down from 20:00. I'm not sure of the significance of the timer because the game kept going for several minutes after it had counted down, but eventually the game moved onto the final round, "The Garden of Eden," which is a "Deal or No Deal" type of game that each player plays individually.

I'm sure this game would work great if you have kids and you want to avoid some of the more mature games out there. It might also be a good game to play after Bible study or something. It obviously works best if you can play with four players; otherwise it gets boring having to sit through other players' turns. Most of the mini-game challenges are okay, but a few had extremely frustrating controls. The challenges have upbeat contemporary Christian music playing in the background, which is kind of cool.

However, if you're just looking for a game to play by yourself, this doesn't really do the job. You can play the mini-games by themselves for practice, but none of them are really so great that I'd want to play them over and over again.

One warning: make sure you buy this game for the system you are most familiar with. I bought the Xbox version because it was the only one available and I found that this gave me a disadvantage in the trivia rounds (which as you may recall, is that part of the game that I was most looking forward to). Even though I would know the answer and buzz in first, I would often hit the wrong button. If the answer was X, I would hit the A button because it is located where the X button is on the PS2. Just keep that in mind when deciding on which version to buy.

Fun for all

I got this game a few days ago, and I really enjoyed playing it with my family. I own a number of Bible trivia board games, and the weakness with them is that people with more knowledge of the Bible annihilate those without that knowledge. This game combines Bible trivia with Bible-themed video game modes, and the 'wrath of God' part will level the playing field as well. The final round involves picking fruit from a tree for points, which increase successively. If the snake is chosen from the tree, you lose all of the points from the tree. This part of the game lets other users catch up, and can cost you the game if you're greedy. With these parts of the game, it makes it so the same person will not win every time. This will make the game fun for those with less Bible knowledge, which means they should want to play again and again.

This game is not specifically Christian. The trivia is all based on the Old Testament. The music is Contemporary Christian, but it could easily be a game that would be fun for Jewish people.

My favorite challenge game is 'False Idols,' in which the players compete to destroy idols.

The question difficulty can be adjusted. They are multiple choice, and everyone has to pick before you find out the answer. Some of the answers are obviously wrong, in a funny way. An example concerned the rebuilding of a gate in Jerusalem. One of the options for the correct name of the gate was "the West Wing." I thought that was funny. Also, some of the names of people given as possible answers on the easy level were "Sammy" and "Ralph."

Overall I love the game. It makes for a fun evening with my family, and I like playing it by itself.

If you are looking for a game that teaches Biblical facts,this is not it. The music is current CCM.Makes light of the Wrath of God. This is not a good game for anyone who takes God serious. If you are worldly this is for you. This is a waste of money.

A Great Game For Anyone Who Is Looking For Something Bible-Educating
