Quiz TV uses the console's increased functionality to offer custom question sets, online play, and wireless buzzers for the first time. The basic formula for Quiz TV is exactly the same as previous Buzz games. The show is hosted by a character named Buzz with Australian soap star Jason Donovan reprising the voice , and it still includes around 5, questions. The buzzers have received an upgrade and the game comes bundled with four of the new wireless controllers.
They work incredibly well, and you'll probably wonder how you put up with those tangle-prone tethered remotes in the past. The only downside is that the wireless remotes require two AA batteries each, but you can use the original PlayStation 2 buzzers with the new game if you prefer. As a bonus, the new wireless buzzers also work with all of the old games. Quiz TV lets you create your own quizzes and play ones created by others with MyBuzz.
Quiz TV has three main modes: a solo mode that pits you against the clock, a local multiplayer mode you can play with up to seven friends, and an online mode that pits you against players from around the world. Sadly, though, only one person per console can play the game online at any given time.
Single-player mode is a rather dull experience, a bit like playing a board game by yourself. You can't play against AI opponents, so instead you compete against yourself and the clock to get the highest score possible within a limited time. Buzz is designed to be a party game, and it's a lot more fun when you have a few companions to play with you.
You can choose a particular category, or choose Channel Hopper to get an assortment of questions from all of the channels. Quiz TV also includes MyBuzz, a channel based on user-generated questions. Despite the large amounts of praise heaped upon Buzz! Quiz World so far, there are still a few flaws that prevent it from being perfect.
The first is the amount of load screens in the beginning of the game. There are no fewer than three loading screens appearing before the title screen appears, and while no more load screens appear after that, their initial presence makes the game feel like it's taking longer to start than the previous entry. The other flaw that's more concerning is the online stability. The game tries to connect to the online servers once it starts so that he gets the latest set of questions.
However, the connection time can range from 30 seconds to minutes, making the player want to cancel the connection instead of waiting. Once it does occur, stability seems to be an issue since most of the games played during the review session disconnected before completion.
Top that off with the fact that few people seem to be online, and this becomes a title where online play is the last thing you want to do with this game.
Believe it or not, the graphics are much improved over the previous offering. The studio got a massive renovation and is now much bigger than before, and it also looks much flashier, thanks to the multiple video screens and larger studio audience.
The character models got a minor makeover, but you'll notice more details, like individual strands in hairstyles and more shine on some of the clothes. Lighting effects are nice as well, with the lights from the floor panels reflecting nicely on the character models. While the damage from both pies and bombs stay on the characters for a few rounds, the only disappointment is seeing characters dive in the slime only to emerge unscathed a few seconds later.
It's a very small flaw to an otherwise excellent graphical package. The sound was something that worked very well in the previous game, and it has only gotten better in this installment. Buzz's voice comes in clearly, and his smart remarks never seem to get old; the same goes for the narrator, who's reading the questions. Sound effects are nice and don't seem to play any louder than either the music or voices.
Speaking of music, it does a good job of mimicking the game show vibe. Special mention has to be made for Final Countdown rounds, since they actually bother to do a game show rendition of Europe's "The Final Countdown" at the beginning.
It's a nice touch and makes the game's audio that much sweeter. Without a shadow of a doubt, Buzz! Quiz World is the best trivia game on the PS3. Thanks to the new features, this part is as much enjoyable as the older ones.
You will have real game show feeling that motivates to get more points than your opponents. He is a real motivator! Extreme Gamer. That being said, if you can get around his cynical attitude, and have a few friends who like trivia games, then Buzz! Quiz World is a knockout game can keep you happily buzzing for hours. It's fundamentally a great game and the best option for console-owning quiz fans. The A. In spite of its high-definition, high-decibel wackiness, Buzz! The developers understand the implicit marriage of a party game: They supply the game, and the players provide the party.
Giant Bomb. Right now this is the best Buzz! The concept is still working and will guarantee many hours of fun with friends or online against others. They could've added more questions though, as you keep seeing questions you already answered. Ultimately Buzz: Quiz TV plays like a hollow, broken shell of a once classic game with so much potential yet very little of it actually realised. User Reviews.
