First off, yes you need the set of special buzzers that come with the bundle edition of this game. I had bought Disney's Think Fast which uses the same controllers, so I was good buying this stand alone edition. But if you don't have the buzzers, you must buy the bundle pack to play this game. It does say you need the buzzers on the back of the box of the stand alone game. A little reading and research go a long way. So much for that.

I got hooked on this game after I tried it out at a Toys R Us store. Buzz Mega Quiz ia a trivia game show, complete with a witty host who makes smarmy remarks, an assistant who goes over the rules for each of the different rounds (for those who don't read the instructions ahead of time), and over 5,000 questions in various subjects. The questions are all multiple choice, and up to eight can play, though a second set of controllers is needed for more than four players. You can also use the Eye Toy camera with this game, but you don't absolutely need it.

A single player game consists of two rounds, Time Builder and Hotseat. Games for two or more players feature the following rounds - Point Picker, Fastest Finger, Pie Fight, Globetrotter, Point Stealer and The Final Countdown. You can also adjust the game for easy, standard or hard questions. You can customize your games by choosing what rounds you want included. You can choose your character's looks, wardrobe and sound effect when buzzing in, or you can choose the Quick Start, Quickfire Quiz or Team Play options. The former assigns you Player 1, Player 2, etc and the Quickfire Quiz is for five or more players. There's even a Quizmaster option, which requires a Dualshock analog controller. By the way, the Buzz controllers go into the USB ports on your PS2, to the right of where you plug in your controllers.

If you like game shows and trivia, you'll love this game. It's fun to play and it makes you think. It's mostly pop culture questions on movies TV, and music, but there's also sports, science and other subjects mixed in. Some rounds allow you to take points or time from your opponents. Some of the sound effects are funny as Hell. So put on your thinking caps and have fun with your friends playing this game.

I bought this game thinking it would be a game for just myself since Im the only one in our family who enjoys trivia-type games. However the kids (10 & 15) enjoy this game as well since there is a option to put questions on easy. Fun for the whole family!

My friend recommended this game, saying him and his girlfriend pull it out when they have parties and how much everyone loves it. We have teenage sons who have better things to do than hang with the parents, so we thought we would give this a try. A video game that the whole family can play- I thought we may have found a winner. It could not have turned out any better- we had a blast! The boys teased each other about the characters they were asigned and were elated at how badly they beat the "old people" during the fastest finger rounds. A great time was had by all and best of all it was time we all spent together!!
