 Next gen Buzz July 7, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Firstly if you've played Buzz before on the PS2 and enjoyed this game is for you..
The wireless controllers are great.. That are AA battery powered (batteries included) and they are a breath of fresh air..There is even a bad included to keep the controllers in between games.
The game itself is much like the other games although there are a LOT of questions included on the one disc. So be prepared to fumble even your best subjects;).
Buzz is best played with other people and is a great game to play with friends and family. The new version also features a multiplayer (sofa vs sofa) game which allows you to play against up to 3 other players over the internet.
Not much to be said about the single player game.. Good for practice I guess.
My only gripe with the game is the character/naming options which seem to be unloved and I'm well bored typing in my name every time I use the game.
Fantastic July 10, 2008

This is a fantastic game which builds on everything the old buzzes were.
It is well made, looks great and is easy and fun to play. There are a variety of rounds to choose from and the addition of extra questions online works superbly.
The online sofa vs sofa mode where you play against other people online you get more than 8 questions and a couple of rounds and works really well, and is geat fun to play.
The mybuzz questions banks that people create that can be downloaded for free are only 8 questions long. however having sat up with my girlfriend playing these for a couple of hours it works really well. You dont get too bored of a subject and there are so many to choose from and its so quick and easy to start a new quiz its works perfectly.
overall a fantastic game that people of all ages and types can enjoy.
Only one let down i can think of is that it could do with a few more round options, though possibly these will come with upgrades downloaded in the future.
Great fun for the Family and Friends July 8, 2008

Like the title says.
On another note, one guy wrote "but the largest flaw is that you can't link together several quizzes to form a lengthy one." He was talking about the quizs made by the Buzz fans, but you can, you go to My Buzz, and just Start The Game and you have a choice of 4 each round of any quizs made by normal people.
 Buzz is missing the point July 13, 2008

I've been a big fan of BUZZ on the PS2. When I heard that a PS3 version was forthcoming it made me think of endless opportunities to expand the series. Alas, when I played it, I was let down and here's why.
1. As previously mentioned on reviews, the content is fixed. By this I mean you can't shorten or lengthen your quiz games like before. This makes your games robotic and boring. By the time someone says "I'm catching you up, watch out", you've finished the quiz.
2. Online is a good feature, but under explored. The MyBuzz community only allows 8 questions per game? How can that entertain a family of four? When playing three other players online you get 4 rounds and no real chance to show off your knowledge.
3. With Blu-Ray holding so much data, why are most of the 5000 questions just text and narration. Hardly any video clips.....if any, and the music round is poor in comparison to the PS2 version.
4. A big plus point is the wireless buzzers. Stops loads of wires from getting tied up everytime you put the game away.
I sincerely hope that the software house read these reviews and give some of us hope that a few decent add-ons are likely to be put into the PS3 community. It had so much potential, but I think someone's rushed the release without thinking of the target audience.
Disappointing July 17, 2008

Given the major possibilities opened up by next-gen gaming, Buzz Quiz TV is a major let-down. OK, so the graphics are in high-definition and very polished, and the controllers have now gone wireless, but the actually gameplay and the variety of games on offer have actually been diminished.
Whereas before you had options to customise the length of game, now you are stuck. Rather than a large selection of changing games, you now always get the same set for multiplayer, the same game for single player and the same set of three (and not the best) for the online game.
You might have expected more characters, more customisable options, more questions (although you can purchase more game packs online for extra money), more video and music questions, but alas none of these have made it.
So, having played the PS2 versions, the game is a disappointment. But does the game stand up on its own? Well, even if you'd never played the PS2 version, I suspect you will still find this game repetitive and disappointing.
It hasn't been well thought out, and appears to have been rushed. Who knows though, perhaps the game can be improved over time thanks to downloadable updates.
