If you are into the "Hollywood scene", then you'll love this game. I bought it for my 16 year old daughter for her birthday. She loves it and plays it all the time! It's fast moving and fun!

The controllers work with the ps3 version of buzz, no need for batteries, or that little dongle to lose or anything.

Worth every cent to play with the proper controllers.

If you like trivia or game shows you will love buzz!

This game is really fun to play with a group of people. My family and me all get together and play. I would recommend this game for a family or just playing with your friends.

What a great game! Our family loves it, great for kids and adults. Fun for family game night. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes having fun with their kids!

My daughter and her husband brought this game over for our Mothers Day get together. She set it up and pretty soon the whole family was plaing along and laughing. It was so much fun that I just ordered the Playstation 3 Buzz Quiz TV Bundle. Why do I have a Playstation 3 if I'm not a gamer? Because it is a great and cheap way to watch Blu-Ray movies and play CD's.[...]

Got this for around [...] and it was worth every penny. Lots of fun with a group of people. My only pet peeve is the wired buzzers can be a nightmare to untangle.

I returned the item b/c it was for the wrong system. My return was done without a problem. I am sure the game is a fun one. My nephew played it at a friends house and said it was great.

I purchased "Buzz: the Hollywood Quiz Bundle" used, because it came with the buzzers that I needed for my software-only used copy of BUZZ: The Mega Quiz (Software Only). Like Mega-Quiz, Hollywood needs the buzzer hardware to work. It will not run with the usual Playstation controls.

The game is fast paced and well suited to groups of 2-4 people answering questions at the same time, or larger teams taking turns and discusing answers. You are represented on screen by a chosen cartoon character, and these are quite fun and varied.

The problem with this game was that you need to watch a LOT of movies, and remember a LOT of movie trivia for "Buzz: the Hollywood Quiz Bundle" to be fun. What we found is that while everyone knows a variety of basic trivia, very few people know a lot of movie trivia -- but those that do know a whole bunch. So there wasn't the balance that you see in Trivial Pursuit. Instead, one person would always win, and some other people were always hopelessly behind. Also, I'm just not that into movie trivia.

This was a decent game, but just not as good as the mega-quiz bundle.

The buzzers have a USB plug, and with "joy2key" free software I found with Google, I could write my own javascript code for a different type of quiz game to play with a PC. (Joy2Key makes a button push turn into a letter as if typed from the keyboard.) So, I can't give a review of Sony's game (I don't have PS2). But the hardware works perfectly for me. The buzzers feel good in the hand, and have one large top thumb button, and four more coloured buttons on a panel beneath. You need to take care that the cords don't tangle, so band them individually for storage. There are now wireless buzzers available at a higher price.

My five stars are for the buzzers only. A review requires adding some.

I thought this would be a lot of fun. Defintely did not live up to my expectations. Not a fast paced game at all.
