User Rating: 7 | Buzz! Quiz TV PS3
I've been a big fan of the Buzz series on the PlayStation 2. Sports Quiz, Music Quiz, Hollywood Quiz, you name it, I've played it. And when I bought a PS3 I completely didn't realise that a Buzz game was released for it. So I bought it on Monday and it came with four cool wireless buzzers and a nice red bag to keep them in. Also the wired buzzers I had for the PS2 versions work here too! But enough about the buzzers, it's the game I need to tell about. It's titled Quiz TV, which I was kinda liking the sound of because I was thinking that all of the PS2 separate games were brought together in some way and now with the power of the PS3 who knows how good it could be. I was wrong. All it has is 5 channels based on stuff like Movies/TV, Sports, Lifestyles etc. This was still ok for me, so I played it with my Mum and Dad. And it was your typical Buzz fun. Which is what I mainly wanted. Some mini-games (whatever you'd call the separate games for each subject aka Point Builder) have gone from original PS2 versions and I don't believe any new ones were added. There is no Rose (the female assistant from the previous games) and there is no prizes to be won at the end. No high scores even.

This game is fun. But not exactly taking advantage of the PS3. This game feels like one step forward and two steps back. It is still gonna be worth the money but it lacks what you've seen in the PS2 versions. And how are you gonna move forward with a franchise if you don't keep in whats good from the previous games! Get this if you're a die hard fan, but if I were you, save your £300+ and stick with the PS2 versions. I hope they improve the series with the PSP version.
