5.0 out of 5 stars Love...great for a family of know-it-alls, November 5, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: BUZZ: The Mega Quiz Bundle (Video Game)

To preface, Buzz is one of the best video games I've ever played-no lie, it ranks right up there with Guitar Hero and Wii Sports.

You, along with up to 7 other players (4 come in a pack, but you can connect additional) on a PS2 or PS3 answer trivia questions in different formats. For example, one round is all about general knowledge, another more like whammy-where each player has to throw pies and the last standing wins points. There's also short, medium, long & easy, medium, hard games...and unlike some games, it is actually a difference rather than a distinction.

Players in my family (aged 16 to 54) had tons of fun and played for many hours since we got it. While the "young ones" might be better at buzzing (the controller is REALLY sensitive-it differentiates between hundreths of seconds-so don't worry about that), the golden oldies will probably get more questions right.

Questions focus mainly on sports, music, countries, and general knowledge, and great for a family of know-it-alls.

5.0 out of 5 stars great product, one of the best games for PS2 in 2007, October 31, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: BUZZ: The Mega Quiz Bundle (Video Game)

I know that this review is being posted the day before the product is released, but that is because i just spent an hour playing it in best buy.
My gf and I love board games, card games, vifeo games, etc, and this seems to bring it all together. The game itself does take a while to load, but once you are playing it is a blast. There are several different mini games that can be played, which adds to the replay value. As far as the questions, the review states that it is 5000, so it should be a lot of fun.

I know that i was severely dissappointed when they didn't have the product in best buy so i could buy it right then and there (i am not a very impulsive person at all). but i will be snatching it up as soon as it comes off of the truck tommorow!!

This games is really innovative, it brings the game show to you and makes it into a competition between you and your friends/family!! THe controllers do come with the game for $39, so you have to get this version specifically, once again, the controllers do NOT come with the $29 version, only the $39 version.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, with a catch, January 1, 2008

By 

Maggie (Long Island) - See all my reviews

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: BUZZ: The Mega Quiz Bundle (Video Game)

This game is loads of fun. We've played a dozen times--enough to want to purchase four more controllers so that eight players can participate. There's the catch--you can't buy the controllers separately!! What's up with that? What I really don't get is how they can sell the software by itself, without the needed controllers, if controllers can't be purchased on their own. I can't decide if I want to also purchase the Jr. version (which does not sound as interesting) just so we can get four more controllers. It seems like a trick to me!! Thanks a lot, SONY!!!

Update--We DID buy the Jr. game just to get the controllers--and it turns out that you CAN NOT play regular Buzz with eight players!! If you want to have 8 players, you only get to choose from certain custom set-ups which result in very short uninteresting games. For instance, the eight player game had NO final countdown! So, DO NOT BUY MORE CONTROLLERS!!
