Bewitched

Let me just say that I have nothing against Bewitched, either the TV show or the recent film remake. The show has its moments of classic comedy, as well as the mystery of the two Darrins. As for the movie, hey, Will Ferrell's in it, so it obviously could have been far worse. Now that brings us to the mobile phone game based on the Bewitched license. And it's not what you think.

No, no side-scrolling shooting stages with Samantha on her broom. No, no sign of the Darrins battling it out for superiority. No, not even the mother-in-law to whisk us away to Pac-Man instead. What Bewitched brings to the cell phone is a miserable trivia game with a decent format but no real point of existence.

The game consists of questions from the classic TV show, as well as some sub-categories like classic TV and supernatural questions. If you miss three, you have a chance to get back into things with a mini-game, guessing where the ball is under a trio of shells. Yeah, joy, right?

The formula makes no sense, and the game offers no real fun at all. No varying mini-games, no film images, not even the glory of photos of Nicole Kidman. It's just a dumb, lifeless trivia game that has too many goober questions and not enough invention. I don't even think Samantha doing that nose thing could save this game from the boredom it hits us with. AVOID!
