 Buzz - Now without the tangled wires =D July 4, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Buzz is back to its best. The only real problem i have is the online only has a small amount of questions.
First off the best thing about it is the wireless controllers. Now i don't have to spend 5minutes before hand untangling the wires before i start.
I've also been on the PS store and theres already a few packs to download for cheap prices, so the amount of questions will only increase.
Its also been confirmed that a patch will hit this month giving it trophy support.
Fantastic. October 3, 2008
Having great fun with this.. Alot of questions, with purchasable quiz packs on the store, and thousands of user created quizzes online, which you can play via the game.
There are some minor annoyances, but nothing not to warrant this a 5Star review.
Top family entertainment! October 9, 2008
Before owning a PS3, Buzz! on PS2 never really appealed to me - after buying the main game, additional quizzes were a hefty 20 each - this would mean a spend of nearly 200 to have all quizzes available, not to mention the spaghetti of tangled wires from the controllers!
This PS3 version can be picked up for as little as 35 WITH the 4 wireless controllers if you shop around.
I would strongly suggest getting your PS3 online with this game as, not only does it (obviously) enable you to play other people even when no-one else in the household fancies a game, but, more importantly the online functionality provides you with (free) updates. To date this has meant another 4 playable characters (Napoleon, Mexican Wrestler, Female Vampire and Cavewoman) and additional outfits for the original characters too.
You can also download additional quizzes from the PSN site at prices between 3.50 to 4.99 - VERY reasonable compared to the previous PS2 additional discs costing up to 6 times that.
You can also write your own quizzes and upload them to the site so that anyone out there can also play your quiz! This is a great feature for niche interests.
Buzz! now utilises the PS3 Trophy system too, so that you can gain bragging rights against your friends as to who has unlocked the most in-game awards.
On the downside, it's a shame the quiz formats are a little stale after a while - point builder, pass the bomb, fastest finger, pie fight, high stakes and then the final round - same thing everytime. It would be nice if a download patch had some new formats for quiz rounds, but maybe that will come.
As for playing online with others, it's fastest finger, all that apply and then high stakes and then it's over after 18 questions.
Longevity is key though and we still dig Buzz! out for a game at least a couple of times a week and that's 2 months after buying it.
There's something there for all ages and the ability to create quizzes can even be used as a good and fun way to help your kids learn - whether it be utilised to teach spelling, history, etc - the possibilities are multi-faceted.
I never was a quiz enthusiast, but Buzz! seems to have converted me!
I would recommend it (wholeheartedly if you have your PS3 online).
Great Family Fun October 28, 2008
Buzz is a great game which you and the family will enjoy over the festive period. The game shipped with 4 controllers, a wireless usb key, batteries and a bag for storage.
The game has a single player, multiplayer and a sofa vs sofa matchup. For the vast majority of people time will be spend on the multiplayer mode and the types of games vary greatly from fastest finger to pointstealing.
The game ships with a selection of different quiz collections but you are able to download more user made quizzes as well as question packs from the PS store.
Buzz supports trophys too which is a nice little add on.
 Very good, but flawed July 4, 2008

This is another fine game in the Buzz canon, though it's not perfect. The main flaws are:
1. The online quizzes are only 8 questions long. Actually, this isn't as bad as it first seems; the length is something you get used to; but the largest flaw is that you can't link together several quizzes to form a lengthy one. Sometimes you're in the mood for a 100 question quiz, but you have no choice - it's only 8 questions from online content.
2. Another annoying flaw with the online mode is that there's no quick-start - you have to go through the name/buzzer/character options each time. As the quizzes are so short, this quickly becomes tiresome.
3. In offline mode, there's no choice about the length of game or difficulty of questions.
4. There are few options - no QuizMaster, no Quick Quiz
Having said all that, it's the usual wonderfully addictive Buzz, and the quality of online quizzes is surprisingly good so far... though not perfect: Pluto is not a planet!
I've heard rumours of patches to improve Buzz - whether these will fix the flaws, I'm not sure. If they do, this could be the PS3 game with the longest lifetime of all. As it is, it's merely very good indeed.
