Great party game for any fan of trivia!!!
There are several game modes to play, which include a single player lightening round which tests a solo contestants knowledge in one of five or a mix of all categories (Sports, Music, Movies and TV, Knowledge and Lifestyle). Although the single player mode can be engaging, it is mainly for those who want to see how many questions one can answer in as little time as possible. Buzz truly shines when playing the multiplayer modes (as you can imagine). You can test your might against up to three of your friends in your home or against three random foes or online friends. The buzzers have received an upgrade from the previous versions of Buzz and the game comes bundled with four of the new wireless controllers which helps to deliver the traditional game show feel.
A new feature to the series is the user created quizzes called My Buzz Quizzes, which can be created on the site mybuzzquiz.com. You're able to set the privacy options on your quizzes so that everyone may play them, or limit them so that only you or your PS3 friends are able to see them. Quizzes can be tagged as mature, and sorted into one of the predefined question categories such as lifestyle, as well as subcategories such as video games. Each set requires eight questions, and once entered, they're scanned for offensive language and submitted to the system.
A few of the negative aspect of the game is that there is no option to play only the types of rounds that you want in single or multiplayer (Fastest Finger, Pie Fight, Point Builder, or Pass the Bomb) or play with multiple friends during an online game. The game can become a bit repetitive after a few playthoughs, but it does support downloadable content which you can purchase off of PSN for a few dollars and definitely helps to give this game legs.
The game looks and sounds great and while playing you will truly feel as if you're participating in a live gameshow yourself. Any fan of game shows or trivia will want to pick up this title as it will provide countless hours of fun and enjoyment. Any PS3 owner looking for a party title, Buzz Quiz TV is a must own enjoyable title to play with friends at home...especially while inebriated.
Final Score: 8.4
