I like the new Buzz, it is a ton of family fun. I like the different game options you can choose. Instead of the same boring rounds, you have the option to mix it up a bit. Plus, rounds are longer. Further, the add-on packs I purchased (from Sony store) work in the new game as well. There is more category variety, which is nice. Plus, you can run 8 players in a game, instead of just four.

I played online a few times and liked that as well. You don't have flexibility on the rounds, but an 8 person free-for-all can be challenging and fun.

I don't like the characters. They have some new ones, but for some reason, eliminated older ones. This is a minor point, but I really can't understand deleting characters.

Overall, great game. Family fun with categories for everyone. The ability to play 8 people means you might want to buy the game with a 2nd set of controllers. However, you can save $20 if you just buy the game. But, you must have buzzers.

my family has a blast every time we play it

It's a great game for you and your friends and really its all about getting together and having a great time. I recommend buying the bundle for this game if you do not have any of the controllers for this game. The bundle is about $60 and it is eligible for Amazon Prime. It includes four of the special controllers and the game itself, which is actually quite a steal. HIGHLY recommend for groups of people but if you want to play by yourself I'd recommend you get another game. This is really made for having a blast with your friends and family

We received this at Christmas and have played it multiple times with 4 people. There is a lot of laughter and all of us (even our youngest player - 9 yrs) had a blast. My only complaint is that we could use more "Buzzers" and you can't purchase them separately.

Got this as a gift - owned the first (I just sold it), as this one is way better. The variet of different games and 8 player multiplayer rocks. It's just a smarter game, it keeps any online question packs you bought, and love that Final Countdown is now the last round in an online game... If you don't have either Buzz Games and like playing trivia - get the Bundle. If you already have Buzz 1 for PS3 w/ the buzzers, sell Buzz 1 and get the standalone game... You'll love it.

This game is worth every penny but this version is meant for adults. not because of language or anything like that, but because of the questions asked. anyone from 18 on up would be good. Little kids just have the knowledge. There are lots of other versions out there though.

Simply a great trivia game with an engaging presentation. Tons of questions presented in a great format. The questions were a bit easy for my friends and me me, though, but the game offers the option to very easily play games made by the online community. These games are free and generally more challenging than the default questions. There are over 30,000 user-made quizzes out there to play, and the list is still growing.

While the questions for user-made quizzes are not read aloud by the announcer, the experience is generally similar. (Note that when using user-made quizzes, you play an abridged game and some rounds are skipped). At the end of each user-made question set, everyone gets to vote on how good or bad the questions were -- ensuring that future players get the best quizzes. It's a wonderful system.

Buzz! Quiz TV was my introduction to Buzz Quiz. I fully enjoyed that game and found it to be perfect for parties, family events or having fun when I feel like playing a game that uses my knowledge against opponents rather than my virtual bullets. This year, Buzz! Quiz World has come along and instantly taken the place of Quiz TV.

Buzz! Quiz World

9/10

The Good:

+ Slick new presentation with improved visuals all around.

+ Player Profiles allows individual stat keeping.

+ Much improved online gameplay over Quiz TV.

+ Cimpatibe with Quiz TV Quiz Pack DLC.

+ The categories are improved and many new game types.

+ Customizeable game types allows you to pick your rounds.

+ Buzz is less repetitive in his remarks, yet every bit as cheeky.

The Bad:

- Characters from Quiz Tv seem to be absent.

- Still no custom character editor.

- Only features English, no Spanish or French language options.

Buzz! Quiz world does what few games can do - Please all ages and types of gamers and non gamers at once. I have played an 8-player game with children, teens, twenty-somethings like myself and older adults. Buzz! managed to pull everyone in so we were all crying foul as the current winner answered correctly. It is so perfect for anyone that likes socializing.

With Quiz world, many of my complaints with the Quiz TV have been addressed. For starters, you can now customize what rounds you play. Don't like the pie round? Now you can turn it off to make a custom game suitable to the group playing. Many people I play with complain about the Final Countdown round (which now plays the titular song by Europe) and you can even cut that out. Quiz World also features several new rounds such as Boilng Point, which gives the points to the first player to answer six correct questions.

Buzz now personally addresses player by asking you to pick from a list of names. It goes a long way and makes it feel more like you really are in the game and Buzz is more than just a virtual muppet. Also, this allows tracking of individual profiles, and Buzz remembers your tendencies. For example Buzz said to Kevin, one player who is frequently winning but had fallen into 4th, "Kevin, good to see you back at the top where you belong" after he had regained the lead in one round.

It's many of these small little details that really adds to the longevity and overall fun a game offers. At the end of every game, Accolades are given. It reports who was the fastest buzzer, who had the most right answers (which doesn't always equate to a win), who had the least and who got to pick the most categories just to name a few.

An 8 player game of Buzz! Quiz is a great experience, but Quiz TV had made it lite on rounds and features. Thankfully, Quiz World now allows full games for 8 players too, whereas Quiz TV only had 3 round 8 player games. This may not sound important, but it really does make the game more interesting to have it more than 3 round if you 'd like. Now you won't have 7 other people surprised the game is over already.

Another area where Quiz World shine is the online mode. You can now play with 1-4 people on the same PS3! In Quiz TV 4 people could play, but would all control the same character. Quiz World gives everyone control over their own character and allows up to 8 players to play online on multiple PS3s, or 2 if you have 4 players on each one. Of course, it still features My Buzz quizzes so you can create and share your own custom trivia packs.

The only thing I would like to see Buzz! add is more characters to choose from, or even better the ability to use PSN Home avatars or create your own character to use. There needs to be more characters for practical reasons too. In the instance that you have 5 females players or more, some will have to choose a male character. It's a minor gripe, but something they could have easily remedied by at least including all the characters from Quiz Tv. Where are Cave Girl and Disco Man?

Overall, Quiz World is much improved and a worthwhile purchase for Quiz TV owners and those new to Buzz. You will most certainly be happy with. For those like me who had a Quiz Tv, this is a nice upgrade that will be thourughly enjoyed!

This version picks up where the last leaves off. Its not perfect, but it is more difficult than the first. The questions aren't as straight forward which makes them more challenging. The end credits actually do serve a quite entertaining purpose.

We got this as a family Christmas present. It is so much fun! It comes with 4 paddles and a wireless card that you need to plug into the front of the PS3 console. That is about it for set up. There is not much choice of avatars you can pick from as your contestant but the ones with the game are fun and funny. There are several game selections, 6 I think, to choose from so the game is mixed up and not stagnant. The only thing was the writing for the questions is too small. Other than that, if you are looking for a good family game this one is right up there with some of the Wii games.

I have played the older version of buzz with my friends many times. We find this newer version of buzz to be more fun, we didn't know about the new features where the host will say your name and that there would be new types of games. I recommend this to anyone who has tried the first buzz game or anyone who has heard of buzz. It's a blast!

If you have played the Buzz game on the PS3 then you know what your in for. Only this time, they improved it. They have great new games and differnet ways you can play them. If you don't like one of the games you can tell the game to skip it. Also if you download the previous games extra pacs they automatically get added to this game. Another bonus is that they added characters and got rid of some of the dull ones. Though I have to admit I miss Disco Steve!!! He was way kewl!!!!

The only down fall is that you can no long pic your name. They have a bunch of pre-picked out names like your nomal name and all. This way Buzz can call your name. Even then he doesnt get it right. I put in David, and he kept calling me Dave. I was like who is this...

This game is a good way to get my wife and kids to sit down and have a fun night together.
