    Gameplay
    Buzz! Quiz World places players in the role of a contestant competing against others, in the over-the-top yet family-friendly, fictional game show, Buzz!, which is hosted by the equally over-the-top host, Buzz. The goal here is to accumulate as many points as possible through a series of rounds, to become the overall champion. As with earlier games in the series, each player has their own franchise specific controller/"buzzer", (not included in this game-only release), which consists of a large red button to ring in to answer questions/make selections and a variety of other color-coated buttons used for scrolling on-screen options, navigation, contestant customization, etc. One of the great features of Buzz! Quiz World is that it is designed to utilize earlier released wireless Buzz! buzzers. These take advantage of the PS3's USB connections via a dongle, each of which accommodates up to four wireless buzzers, ensuring that there is always room for another buzzer, up to the eight players that the game supports both locally and online.

    Rounds play out through a wide variety of modes, all of which are focused on fun multiplayer action and compromise both returning play options and those brand-new to the Buzz! franchise. The variety in these is designed to ensure that both casual players and serious quiz fans get maximum fun out of Buzz! Quiz World. Additional features include: PlayStation Eye support which allows players to take pictures of themselves while playing for use as avatars later; online multiplayer chat; AI recognition of over 300 male, female and nicknames that allows Buzz to address/criticize players using your real name; the ability to create and save up to 30 contestant profiles; extensive contestant customization; a standard knowledge base of over 5,000 questions; additional downloadable quiz packs; user created quizzes; and players' choice of preset rounds, or the ability to choose your own.

    Improved in every way, Buzz is back.5
    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!

    Great fun game5
    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

    Better Than The First, A Great Improvement5
    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.
