  1. If your even somewhat a fan of game shows or even the Buzz! franchise, Buzz! Quiz TV is a must have game this holiday season.
  2. Offering a ton of questions on the disc, a ton more from the users themselves, and a ton of official question packs available on the PlayStation Store, it’s going to be quite a long time before you find yourself getting bored when you see the same question about Futurama for the fifteenth time.
  3. The slick studio graphics and optional online features are all that really set it apart, so there’s not a huge point in upgrading if you already have a Buzz! game or two, but at least PS3 owners now have one to call their own.
  4. It’s through the internet, however, that Buzz! refreshes its familiar format; strengths and weaknesses alike. [Aug 2008, p.99]

    This is an absolutely fantastic trivia game. It is balanced perfectly. Trivia savvy people have an advantage, but all players are always capable of winning right up to the final round. The questions vary in difficulty and subject matter. I don't know what more you could want out of a trivia game. Expand
  2. When I play this game, I feel like I'm on a game show. This is one of my favorite video games ever.

    Such an awesome game. I wasn't sure I was gonna like it, but I picked up a copy anyway and wow, I played it until 3 am (well I didn';t start until midnight) but not any game could keep me awake that late these days. I love the part when you can load user created quizs online that gives this game a high replayable value. because as long as you don't choose the same topic you don't get the same questions and answers. And there will be planty of new quiz topics daily (if not hourly). Anyway I really enjoy this game. I finally found something that would last until Little Big Planet comes out. Great job again Sony. I know I could always count on you. Expand
