Buzz! Quiz TV makes for a great PS3 debut. It's a natural fit for online multiplayer, user-created content, and downloadable trivia packs. Although trivia packs haven't arrived as of the time of this review, GameSpy has tried the other sections, and they work well. "Sofa Vs. Sofa" makes a good debut, although there are some minor issues, such as game format and voice chat, that they expect to see improved later.
That said, GameSpy has run this game through its paces with people from all walks of life, and it's passed with flying colors. If you're looking for a great party game, but you need a break from plastic musical instruments, Buzz! Quiz TV makes for a fine diversion.
Buzz! Games had a time when they took over the gaming world. They were amongst the most popular PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. It only makes sense for them to return on the PS5.
Omg this! My family play Knowledge is Power to fill the void as we wait for a new generation of Buzz.
Awesome fun at Christmas with the family or with your mates when the drinks are flowing.
Is it sad I never even heard of this or just don’t remember it at all ? Not the type of game I would play generally so I know nothing about it . I would check it out if it’s fun with the fam . I have owned every PS ever made including the Go that I gave to my son . Just don’t remember this
I vaguely remember it myself.
Not sure why your honesty was downvoted I threw u an upvote
There was a f2p version on the PS3 store (might still be there) and a version of it in PS Home. That’s my only experience with it but it seemed like a party/trivia game. Not sure what the full titles were like
I saw it advertised everywhere but never played it, didn't seem like my type of game.
Yes buzz was the greatest party game back in the day.
And in today's world everyone has a potential buzzer in their pocket with the app integration similar to knowledge is power and no more tangled cables.
I still have the original buzz controllers.... AND the revised wireless ones!
I know...but we really loved it back in the day.. lol
I would love another buzz game. it was family friendly, funny, entertaining, and easy to learn/play so supper accessible.
Popular when? It was not popular back then at all except outside the stares for some reason. It was gimmicky as f when everyone thought they were so clever making game-show like games. but with puppet people… yuck.
You wanna gameshow game? Smash TV. Done. Move on.
I'd consider sales of over 10 million pretty popular. I know a few people who had (and still have them) fun with a few drinks.
Love playing it with a few drinks, can't beat it, oh and singstar of course 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah the world is much bigger than the states in Europe, ociana it was very popular with all sorts of people's from non gamers to gamers.
Smash tv never heard of it.
Anthony Daly looks at whether a new Buzz game is needed?
There are some PlayStation 3 exclusives that have slid under the radar, or been critically panned so badly that is boarders on the tragic.
Haven't played those JRPG's but usually like that genre, might have to check 'em out.
Folklore was awesome, as was heavenly sword and who doesn't like the sound of 'supersonic acrobatic rocket-powered battle-cars'. That game ssounds like bit of a laugh...
Folklore was amazing and it had some of the best sixaxis controls on the PS3
Yeah, they were very immersive. Proof that sixaxis can be done well and actually add to a game.
that sometimes exclusives that would have been hyped like crazy on 360 is sometimes under rated on PS3.
Same, I havn't played the first 2-3 JRPGs mentioned.
But all-in-all, I've played 6/10 of these.
And I wasn't awfully disappointed with any of them... sometimes I was pleasantly pleased. (esp. Yakuza)
Not sure if you can consider Yakuza an RPG, its mostly a brawler but yeah the series is underrated outside of Japan.
I plan on getting Atelier Totori, Ar Tonelico Qoga, and White Knight Chronicles II early next year.
Also, Enslaved was a BRILLIANT game. Ninja Theory needs to be recognized more.
For all the shit they're getting for DmC, i think consumers are too stupid to realise gave-development talent when they see it. I loved Heavenly Sword and Enslaved, and will gladly purchase ANY game Ninja Theory makes.
I wish they would make HS2 next, but not sure what the relationship between NT and Sony are like. Would be sad to see Santa Monica take NT's IP.
Agreed. DmC looks incredible. Looks like the best one since the original. Haters gonna hate, I actually LOVE the look of Dante. People either can't accept change, or they can't deal with the fact that Capcom handed it off to developers that aren't afraid to go outside the box. Capcom is getting stale; Ninja Theory isn't.
Solid list. Moe JRPGs aside.
Though I do wish they'd revisit Lair. It real main failing was being hawked for sixaxis. That and important in-games adjectives being yelled in-game among a crowd of other noises.
