Buzz! The Mega Quiz (PlayStation 2, 2007)

The game is really good for parties which is exactly what I bought it for. Good difficulty for most players. Just a solid product, nothing overly spectacular, but definitely entertains a medium group of people well.

I have played this game before at my parents and automatically got hooked. So I had to get it for myself. The only thing different from the game my parents have is they have the PS3 and the controllers are wireless and the version I have for the PS2 isn't. Other than that I think the game is great. If anyone likes trivial games and like to challenge friends and family or even just play the game by themselves I would strongly recommend this game.

This game is great for groups or to play solo. It has a plethora of educational mind bogglers. The animation and varity of characters is great for all ages and any occasion. Buzz! is good for parties or a relaxed night in. Endless entertainment!

this game is fun for the whole family and well worth the money. great for small get togethers and large family gatherings. it can be played with easy and hard questions so no one will feel left out or dumb.

My granddaughter was in the hospital and this game helped her through her illness...thank you for the smiles

I got an excellent deal on this great buzz bundle. i got the 4 buzzers the mega quiz and a promotional T-Shirt for $26 including shipping. My Family absolutly luv this game because it allows us all to play together and it gets my teen off her sidekick. { That's a plus } the ?'s are not too difficult so i find that even my 10 yr old can pose compitition. it's really fun and each game lasts about 45 minutes so if you play 2 games it's a good clean family fun night. i found that we had a good time while playing with our adult friends it's a great way to stay in and break the ice.. definately worth every penny.. i highly recommend this bundle or one like it..

A fun game for 2 or more players, able to select questions at different levels. Controllers easy to use. More fun as the night goes on

Great transactions and a fun group game! The price was better than we could have got at a local store while Christmas shopping.

I bought this for Christmas for my boyfriend. We love it! It was easy to use and everyone enjoys it. Our parent's really enjoyed it and it is great to entertain with. It is also good for him and i just sit and play. Also has a single player mode. Very well put together!

This game is seriously like being on a game show. My wife and i have been playing all the time and it's great for family parties. We haven't seen a repeated question yet. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS to anyone who loves trivia and a good time with friends and family.

5 STARS *****

GREAT GAME ~~KIDS LOVE IT~~LOTS OF FUN FOR ALL~~AGES~~GREAT PRICE ON EBAY~~PAID A LOT LESS THEN AT A STORE~~

My family and I love this game, it is competition for ages young and old. Loads of fun. A few more characters would be nice. Up to 8 players can play with 2 sets of Buzz controllers.

I bought this for my kids. They enjoy the game very much. Allows up to 4 players. It works great. They have fun.

Game plays fine. No problems! Happy to do business again! I decided to purchase because it was the lowest price I could find.

If you own a PS2 and looking for a genuinely fun party game, Buzz! is the answer!

I took this out for last-year's family Christmas party, in which my family had no prior knowledge of the game series, and everyone had a really fun time! And, no kidding, I had to stop them from playing another round since it was getting late.

For some good trivia-fun with up to 8 members of your family/friends (additional set buzzers needed for 5-8 players), Buzz! Mega Quiz is one to bring out!

Also, check out the PS3 version for a really good quiz game, or the PSP version for a fun quiz on-the-go. If you still want more trivia fun on your PS2, try Buzz! Hollywood Quiz!

A-ok -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A great title that does what it sets out to do; Make a fun trivia game for couple or a group of people.

WHAT'S GOOD?
Lots of questions. There's a good selection of questions to keep you busy for several hours of game-play.

Lots of question styles. Not only are there lots of questions, but the way they ask you them are plentiful as well. Some audio clips, some visual, some are timed, some have answers you have to put in order, some let you throw a pie in a competitors face, and the list goes on! This makes it more than your run of the mill party game.

Controls. What separates this game the most from other digital trivia and game-show style games is the controller. The Buzz! controller is held with 1 hand, is composed of a big red button on top and 4 coloured buttons down the front, and plugs into the USB port on your PS2 4 at a time. So, the controls are simple for anyone to use, and helps with the illusion that you are an actual contestant on a game show. So not only is the game style for large audience, including those that may not regularly play video games, the controls make it easily accessible to that audience.

Up to 8 players. The Buzz! controllers come 4 at a time. Since there's 2 USB ports you can plug in to, you can have up to 8 players at once, making it a great party game.

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER?
The script writer for the host did an acceptable job, but he's not overly entertaining.
There's very little single player appeal.
There's a decent selection of players to choose from, but a few more wouldn't have killed the developers.

FINAL WORD:
If you have the Buzz! controllers already, there's no reason I can see not to get this game. If you don't have the Buzz! controllers but want some light-hearted fun with you spouse or a group of friends, this is also a great option.

This game is so much fun! You will seriously get hooked as soon as you play it!My husband and I love it. The buzz controls are really neat & make you feel like you are playing on a real game show (minus the cool prizes)

This game can be played for hours with friends/family. The characters are funny, the host is a hoot and the questions range from silly to hard. I bought this game for a party with family and they keep requesting that I bring it to every gathering. The only downside is that the game comes with 4 buzzers but it can be played with up to 8 contestants. However, you can't buy the additional buzzers alone. You must buy another game to add 4 more buzzers. I actually bought another Buzz game (which I didn't really want) to get the extra buzzers.

Overall, this game is well worth the money and excellent for a fun evening.

I wanted a game that would allow more people to play, attract a wide variety and entertain. This was it! It kept the family together longer and was just as much fun to watch as it was to play. WE laughed so much. Easy to operate and it doesn't matter what you know there are questions for everyone!

I am perfectly happy with this purchase and the seller. The game was just as described! I received it in the mail very quickly and have been enjoying the game with many friends and family! Most importantly, I saved $$! Purchasing it from this seller, save me over $10.00. I prefer to shop this way and not from the "largest discount retailer". Thank you!!

If you've been looking for all the fun and excitement that kids enjoy on Mario Party, but in an "adult" package for the Sony Playstation2 (or 3)... then look no further... Thankfully, Buzz! The Mega Quiz has arrived to make those oh-so-boring parties a thing of the past. Packed with eight multiplayer rounds, five gameplay modes, 14 avatars and a bunch of buzzer sounds, Buzz is making its U.S. debut this year after taking the U.K. by storm with a handful of sequels and spin-offs.

If this is your first introduction to the world of British accents and spiky blonde hair, let's get you up to speed. Buzz! The Mega Quiz thrusts you and up-to-seven friends into a winner-take-all game show hosted by an Aussie/flapping-head Muppet named Buzz and his lovely assistant Rose. Each round Rose explains how you'll play, Buzz asks you some questions, and the losers squirm while the winner celebrates.

As if the fact an assistant has to tell you how to play every game didn't tip you off, Buzz doesn't use a traditional control scheme. Packed with the game are four controllers/buzzers -- more can be purchased if you're planning on having an eight-player free-for-all -- that are tethered together and get plugged into a single PS2 USB slot. The simple design is reminiscent of an oversized remote control -- there's a large red button followed by blue, orange, green and yellow buttons -- and it serves as your gateway to getting granny, your 5-year-old niece and your best buddy to play the same game.

Buzz asks a question and -- depending on the round -- you slam down on the red buzzer and choose the correct color-coded answer.

This mix of straight-up word questions and photos is interwoven through most of the questions. You'll need to look at two photos of athletes and decide who was the youngest in his or her debut, identify tunes as they play on your TV and answer word problems. The "rounds" are so diverse, somebody different is bound to look like a genius in each round!

Even when you get a written question, it's rare to see the game just toss up questions without some sort of gimmick. In fact, eight separate rounds keep things interesting by changing the rules and objectives. "Point Picker" has contestants picking the next category of questions off a large wheel, "Pie Fight!" lets the person with the correct answer hurl a pie in an attempt to knock his or her opponent out of the round, and a person who answers a question correct in "Globetrotter" gets to pick the next country questions will originate from. Don't like one of the mini-quizzes? You can choose to start a custom game and eliminate the bothersome round from the start. There's even an instrumental cover of Europe's classic "Final Countdown" when Buzz introduces the Final Countdown round.

And that's just scratching the surface of what's on this disc. Beyond the multiplayer game show -- and the various difficulties -- you and some friends can go at it in Team Play (a mode that has you passing the buzzers amongst teammates), Quickfire Quiz (choose the number of questions you want from a list of 10 to 100 and see who has the fastest fingers) and Quizmaster (one person vocally asks their own questions, the players buzz in, and the Quizmaster uses a PS2 controller to tell people if they're right or wrong). Got no friends? The single-player mode tracks your high scores so that you can monitor your progress while weeping in your friend-less depression.

A must have at any party!

I decided to buy this game for my boyfriend for Christmas after seeing an ad for it on TV. It looked like something we could do either alone or with a group of people so that I could cut out time spent watching him play FIFA or Madden. Buzz! The Mega Quiz game was definitely the answer to my prayers! This game keeps us busy on nights we'd usually spend whining over having nothing to do and is even fun to play with our families. There are a couple of rounds in the game that we are not too crazy for, but you can override this by choosing a "Custom Game." If you are looking for a game to play that is versatile enough to be played at a party or home on a rainy afternoon, Buzz! The Mega Quiz game is definitely for you!
