Clue was a favorite growing up, so when Clue FX came out, I was intrigued. The game is very different now, with different suspects, locations, weapons, etc. That was a little disappointing, because you got used to the characters and the weapons and rooms growing up, but it was fine overall. I enjoy playing this version, but in moderation. That's because there are several drawbacks (mostly with sounds):

1. If you are playing with people you want to have a conversation with, it becomes extremely annoying that the game keeps talking to you, telling you when it's someone's move and not giving anyone enough time to decide about their move or think something through before the announcer reminds you, "Miss Lavender, please move." I cannot tell you how many times this has irritated us to the point we decide to stop the game, or we cut down how long we will play it because it is getting so frustrating.

2. As an adult, it's a little embarrassing to pull out this sound FX, 3-D game board that seems better suited for a young person's game time.

3. The time factor between it becoming your turn and the announcer starting to irritate you with prompts to move is extremely short, so even if you are not trying to have a conversation, but simply want to think for a minute, it's annoying. What is more frustrating is there is a button you can push if someone is taking too long (for real) in making their move that will force a prompt, so why did this game get set up to prompt you automatically? And it keeps going, so if you are just simply taking a bathroom break or getting something to drink, it gets old really fast.

4. When you find a suspect, they say something and when people keep finding the same suspect and you keep hearing them say the same thing, it gets very annoying.

5. I do like the FX to prompt you to think about suspects having moved to new locations and having to find the inspector to make your guess about who did what with what and where. But I have to say, I miss the original play.
