PSP World writes: "The Buzz! trivia series was a huge hit on the PS2 and created as much of a stir in the gaming community as the board game Trivial Pursuit did way back in the 1980s. There's absolutely nothing original about quiz titles but the average gamer's fascination with all things trivial means that a ready made audience is always available. Clearly the drawbacks of converting any Playstation title to a handheld format means compromises have to be made and, while games like Killzone have wisely changed genre during their transition to the PSP, the nature of Buzz! means that the PS2 game has remained mostly intact. The key factor though is whether it's still as much fun to play as the more grown up versions on the consoles. So, is it?"
Buzz! Games had a time when they took over the gaming world. They were amongst the most popular PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. It only makes sense for them to return on the PS5.
Omg this! My family play Knowledge is Power to fill the void as we wait for a new generation of Buzz.
Awesome fun at Christmas with the family or with your mates when the drinks are flowing.
Is it sad I never even heard of this or just don’t remember it at all ? Not the type of game I would play generally so I know nothing about it . I would check it out if it’s fun with the fam . I have owned every PS ever made including the Go that I gave to my son . Just don’t remember this
I vaguely remember it myself.
Not sure why your honesty was downvoted I threw u an upvote
There was a f2p version on the PS3 store (might still be there) and a version of it in PS Home. That’s my only experience with it but it seemed like a party/trivia game. Not sure what the full titles were like
I saw it advertised everywhere but never played it, didn't seem like my type of game.
Yes buzz was the greatest party game back in the day.
And in today's world everyone has a potential buzzer in their pocket with the app integration similar to knowledge is power and no more tangled cables.
I still have the original buzz controllers.... AND the revised wireless ones!
I know...but we really loved it back in the day.. lol
I would love another buzz game. it was family friendly, funny, entertaining, and easy to learn/play so supper accessible.
Popular when? It was not popular back then at all except outside the stares for some reason. It was gimmicky as f when everyone thought they were so clever making game-show like games. but with puppet people… yuck.
You wanna gameshow game? Smash TV. Done. Move on.
I'd consider sales of over 10 million pretty popular. I know a few people who had (and still have them) fun with a few drinks.
Love playing it with a few drinks, can't beat it, oh and singstar of course 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah the world is much bigger than the states in Europe, ociana it was very popular with all sorts of people's from non gamers to gamers.
Smash tv never heard of it.
Anthony Daly looks at whether a new Buzz game is needed?
OPM: While the PS4 is all about shiny new technology and fresh ideas there’s a load of PS3 stuff we’re not ready to say goodbye to just yet. From Home to Singstar and more here’s some of Sony’s current gen potential we want carried over to the future.
I would really like to see Home make a return, and for it to live up to it's full potential. It's such a brilliant idea.
Give me another Sing Star too. I have almost every game in the series.
Ye i really loved some of the levels where you could go into the worlds of your favourite games, i'd love to see more of it.
Meh, looks OK I guess. I would rather go down tot he pub and play trivia with real people though.
I just realised what the PSP 3000s built microphone is also for; PSP Singstar?
^ Seriously; Is that really a good idea?
I never got the thing with Buzz.
O.O
A lot better than I expected
