 Entertaining, Solidly Fun, but... November 28, 2008
From what I'd heard, Buzz Quiz TV was a basic trivia game with a game show mentality. And that's pretty well spot on. You answer various questions as quickly as possible using the handy dandy buzzers that come with the game. (Batteries not included, so you'll need 8 AA batteries if you want to run all 4 buzzers.) Oh, and the buzzers themselves, while a welcome addition, are pretty cheezy. They're not the most sturdy of things and don't feel like they'll put up with much abuse.
Now, it's been said, and it's worth saying again: it's really really hard to NOT compare Buzz to "You Don't Know Jack". Your game show host "Buzz" is obviously a parody of game show hosts in general, but his smart-aleky smarm is very reminiscent of Jack. ...which makes me WISH this game WAS YDKJ... but it's not. No totally bizarre quips, no outlandish put-downs, no inappropriate jokes at just the right moment. *sigh*
Anywho, the questions themselves are varied covering quite a wide range of knowledge. And since this is an online enabled game, you can download even more questions for near infinite replayability.
Buzz is a solid party game and with the 4 buzzers, it's easy to divide up into teams when you have more than 4 people who want to throw down their buckets of useless knowledge. Solid game for more than 2 people... but if you're expecting Jack... go buy Jack.
A great party game November 25, 2008
Finally a game my girlfriend and I can play together. She loves it. This has been the only game besides Q Bert I have gotten her to play with me. This game is great while entertaining also. My only complaint is the levels are always the same. I wish they would change it up some but it is still fun. Online is fun when you can find other players and single player is fun when one is bored and doesn't have much time.
 What a blast! November 22, 2008
We have the 'Seen It' game for the 360 yet I prefer this. The questions are more varied and there will even be new downloaded questions when you've gone through all these. Great game for family (and drunk friends) fun.
 Decent game, but only for groups. November 21, 2008

Buzz! Quiz TV *can* be played as single player game or online as a multi-player game, but I would discourage anyone from buying it unless there will be evenings where you can play it as a group of people sharing the same physical place. I think that's about the only scenario that will make this a decent purchase.
Visually, the game is rendered in High Definition, so it looks bright and crisp on your screen. I don't have any complaints in that area. My primary disappointment is that it's sort of what you'd expect after hearing about the game. It's a quiz show in your living room using your PS3. There just doesn't seem to be a next level of creativity involved that would make it stand out.
You can write your own trivia questions, try out other user's trivia question, but the interface isn't as easy to you as I wanted.
My suggestion? Try before you buy.
We Love Buzz TV November 20, 2008
I'm a college student and I live in a house with three other fellow college student.
When I received this video game I had no idea what to really expect - but after a few rounds with my friends we were hooked. Like Guitar Hero a couple years ago it has become a party staple and a fun way to pass a half an hour or so. It's hilarious how into the game you can get, and how much fun you can have.
The game plays out like a radical version of Jeopardy where you have to beat the other players at trivia questions which range from popular music to video games to cartoons to tv hits to blockbusters.
