A gameshow without a host is like a bar without drinks. That's what we have with Jeopardy on PSN. There is no host, so you have to read the questions yourself. There is NO presentation in this title. The game does not record previous questions answered, so you may see questions more than once as soon as your next play through. When answering a question (or questioning and answer :P) you get 4 multiple choice options. This makes it infinitely easier then the real gameshow.
The online component is probably where this is played best. But, some bugs hinder that experience as well. You can create a game for people to join, only to find that no one is coming in. Reset the game, do it again, and all of a sudden people join right away. The same goes for joining rooms. Clicking to join any game will sometimes tell you there are no rooms available. Reset, do it again, and BAM you're in. Disconnections are common, so you'll often find the game continueing with just two contestants. There's no penalty for disconnecting and not much here to play for. It lacks rewards and penalties for anything really.
Creating your character would be an exciting feature at least. But the limited options make many people look the same. If you like Jeopardy and want the game, there really isn't a choice for you. But, if you're looking for a trivia game for you and your friends to play (online or off) steer clear of this one. Even for $14.99, you won't get much out of it.
