\"\"<\/a>You wanna know what my all-time favorite TV show in the whole wide world is?\u00a0 It\u2019s Mystery Science Theater 3000.\u00a0 Man I love that show!\u00a0 In it, a guy and two robot puppets are sent out in a space station by two mad scientists, and are forced to watch bad movies and make fun of them.\u00a0 You might\u2019ve seen this show and not even realized it, because most of it is just the old movie with a silhouette of theater seats and the characters at the bottom talking all throughout the movie.\u00a0 It hasn\u2019t been on TV in a long time, but you can still catch it in syndication and on Netflix.\u00a0 Some of the show\u2019s creators and stars have gone on to do similar works, like Rifftrax, which are great, too.\u00a0 But MST3K is still my favorite.\u00a0 Since I like video games a lot, I always thought it would be neat if they made an MST3K video game.\u00a0 But until they do, What the Dub?! may be the closest thing to that.\u00a0 It\u2019s a party game where you watch clips of old movies, type in missing dialogue in your phone, and vote on the funniest submissions.\u00a0 It\u2019s available for nearly all current game consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

When you start the game, they\u2019ll prompt you to go to a web site on your phone and type in a room code.\u00a0 It\u2019s VERY similar to how Jackbox games work<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 You\u2019ll use your phone to type in answers and vote on others.\u00a0 You can even add in pre-recorded sound effects like farts, always good for a cheap laugh.\u00a0 In each round they\u2019ll play a movie clip with some missing dialogue.\u00a0 You must fill in the blanks with something funny, and then the game will play the clip again with each person\u2019s submission read by a computer voice.\u00a0 Then you vote on the best answer and whoever has the most votes gets more points.\u00a0 Whoever has the most points at the end of a set number of rounds, wins.\u00a0 In the options menu you can toggle things like how many rounds there are, how much time you get to type in answers and vote, and filter out bad words if you wish.<\/p>\n

This game is so much fun and great for parties and I even like it better than most, if not all, of the Jackbox games.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a lot easier to understand.\u00a0 The only problem I had with the game is that you MUST have four people to play.\u00a0 That\u2019s why it took me so long to write this review is because it was hard to get that many people in the house.\u00a0 It\u2019s a shame they couldn\u2019t work out a way to play it with less people, especially with COVID restrictions still running rampant.\u00a0 But if you can get past that, this is a must have game for parties and get togethers.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What The Dub?! is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Blood and Violence.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t notice any of that in the movie clips, but they are all that campy B-movie content.\u00a0 Really the game is only as dirty as you make it.\u00a0 You can filter out bad words and such, so that may help.\u00a0 If you are OK with your kids watching stuff like Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, they\u2019ll probably be OK with the game, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
