Buzz! The Big Quiz - Solus (PS2)

Product Information

In this round, answering the question correctly first gives the player a chance to steal points from an opponent of their choice. A little similar to Point Builder in the other Buzz! games, in that it is usually the first round, but players can choose the question topic. As of 10 September 2009, Buzz!: Quiz TV fully supports game launching. [14] Game launching is a feature that allows users to set up multi-player games in Home and launch directly into the game from Home. Buzz!: Quiz World supports PlayStation Home rewards by winning the quiz rounds in the game. Similarly, there are rounds entirely thrown by the use of pictures. Most noticeable is when they lob four pictures in a grid and ask you a question of a, "Which one of these is most related to..." manner. Problem being, on a standard-sized television and playing sitting on the sofa, the main challenge is straining your eyes to even see the things. Games Nominations 2006". BAFTA. 2006.

There have been a few instalments in the Buzz franchise since then - popping into HMV revealed a kids' version, a sports version, and a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire title using the buzzers - but another general quiz title has taken a year to emerge. The good news, then, is that it has been a year very, very well spent for the masters of social gaming at Relentless Software. The Strongest Link Music rounds make a welcome return - the faster you answer, the more points you get. The first Buzz was a great game. No, shuddup. It's the only game my parents played last year. It's the game which people - even more so than Singstar - turned up at my house, stinking of booze, and demanded an opportunity to play. Hell, I spent the last six months in an increasingly estranged relationship with my girlfriend, but no matter how bad it got and how the hatred simmered, we could always play Buzz silently until it lightened our mood. When I finally got around to returning the game to the person I borrowed it from, we split two weeks later. Pass the Bomb – Answer a question correctly to pass the bomb. The person holding the bomb when it goes off loses points. Games Nominations 2006". BAFTA. 2006. Archived from the original on 24 May 2008 . Retrieved 1 February 2008.The game itself is set in the format of a TV gameshow with the contestants behind podiums. The questions appear on a jumbotron, introduced by the show's host: Buzz. The main game is split over eight rounds starting with simple game mechanics but getting gradually more complex and causing more competitiveness. The question types are general knowledge and cover a large amount of subjects using pictures, videos, music clips etc. The little extras in the game are fairly sparse, admittedly, although we did note the addition of one very useful mode - one in which a player holding a PS2 joypad plays the quizmaster, while those with the buzzers play contestants. In this mode, there are no questions, the idea being that you supply your own questions and answers. The game merely keeps score and provides an interface for the whole affair, which could be pretty good fun if you've got a quiz book or suchlike gathering dust somewhere. That's Numberwang! In 2006 the second game in the Buzz series, Buzz!: The BIG Quiz, won the BAFTA award for Best Casual and Social game. [4] Buzz!: Quiz TV has been nominated in the Best Social Game and Best Multiplayer Game categories for the 2009 BAFTA video game awards. [5] The series has sold over 10 million copies. [6] Realistically, we could probably stop writing right now. Buzz! The Mega Quiz gets the questions right, and it gets the rounds right. End of story - it's a fantastic quiz game, and richly deserves to sit near the top of the pile of party games and family fun games which lurk in close proximity to many of the nation's televisions. Buzz! The Mega Quiz is everything which The BIG Quiz should have been, and more besides. The core aspects of the game remain largely unchanged, of course; you are asked questions in a variety of rounds, and you answer using the buzzer and the coloured face buttons. Often, the speed of your answer is a key factor; other times, only getting it right counts. The buzzers themselves are one of the biggest boons to the game - they make the whole thing accessible and interesting, and for a princely fourteen pounds ninety-nine of your English pounds, you can buy a second set to plug in for eight-player fun.
