Improved in every way, Buzz is back.
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:
+ Buzz! Buzzers are simple to use for everyone, with 4 colored buttons and a big red buzzer.
+ Slick new presentation with improved visuals all around.
+ Player Profiles allows individual stat keeping.
+ Much improved online gameplay over Quiz TV.
+ Works with all the Quiz TV Quiz packs I had bought.
+ 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.
+ Buzzers come paired to the receiver out of the box, requiring no set-up.
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.
For those like me who had a Quiz Tv bundle, it makes sense to buy the Quiz World bundle to finally have 8 buzzers.It comes with buzzers identical to the buzzers included in the Quiz TV Bundle. Sony doesn't seem to sell buzzer pack seperately in the US, so it is required to buy another bundle to have 5-8 players. When you do wish to use 8 buzzers, you will need to use both dongles, as each dongle supports 4 buzzers.
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. Just remember to pick up 8 AA batteries and then go get your Buzz on.
Great family or party game!
If you are sick of watching your kids shoot people and want a game everyone can enjoy, then this is for you!
This is one fun game! The wireless buzzers are great. The format of the games are lots of fun and the characters are very custimizable. Buzz calls you by name. There are almost 5,000 questions on the disc so you will probably go for quite a while without repeats. Players can also add questions, so the possibilities are andless. Also, there are more sets of questions on the Playstation Network you can purchase.
Buzz even has online "sofa vs. sofa" so you can play against people online. Up to 8 people can play!!! Overall this game is WELL worth the money! Very fun!
Buzz is the best quiz party game EVER !
We've been having our Friday get togethers for many year now and when the first Buzz game came out for the PS3, it added a lot of fun to our Fridays, but the thing that lacked was only 4 person support, now with Buzz Quiz World, if you have the previous version, you can play up to 8 people at once, which lets everyone get in on the fun.
Like another reviewer said, this game is improved in every way, there's now MANY different categories, we've played this for many hours already and are still getting lots categories coming up that we've never seen before which always makes it nice. There's a few different rounds, but I think my only complaint about the rounds would be that in 1-4 player mode, there's more round types and they're all random, but in 5-8 player mode, it's always the same rounds at the same time, which really isn't a problem, it'd just be nice if there were more 8 player rounds and it'd be mixed up a little for when your group plays 5-6 games in a row.
On characters, I love how the game now saved your character statistics and at the end of the game, it'll go through and show fastest finger, most questions answered correctly, most wins ever, etc.. Also when you start a new game, it'll use information from them in the character introductions like say "The reigning champion" or "This guy plays buzz more than me", ha ha. On the characters themselves, there's some nice additions to the cast, I just wish they would've added a few more or kept some of the old ones like the nerdy guy, afro guy, cave girl and rocker, which are no longer available. The new ones are fun though, like the old lady that drops her dentures or the guy in the lizard suit, ha ha.
Another nice improvement about the game to is that the lowest person in point total isn't always the person to pick the round, it does mix it up, like the person that drops the most in a round will pick, so you don't have to worry about the person that's always on the bottom picking every single category.
One thing I wish about the game was that there was more single player games, currently on this one, it's just you answering straight questions to get a score, which it does save and others can try to top it, it would've been nice if you could play against a couple of computer players. I guess though, that's what Playstation Network is for, you can always find someone on there to play against.
Overall, this game is great fun ! If you bought the first Buzz game on the PS3, you NEED to get this one, you'll love it. If you never tried Buzz before, this is your time to pick it up and dive into the fun.
