. Gameplay
Buzz! Quiz World places players in the role of a contestant
competing against others, in the over-the-top yet
family-friendly, fictional game show, Buzz!, which is hosted by
the equally over-the-top host, Buzz. The goal here is to
accumulate as many points as possible through a series of rounds,
to become the overall champion. As with earlier games in the
series, each player has their own franchise specific
controller/"buzzer", (not included in this game-only release),
which consists of a large red button to ring in to answer
questions/make selections and a variety of other color-coated
buttons used for scrolling on-screen options, navigation,
contestant customization, etc. One of the great features of Buzz!
Quiz World is that it is designed to utilize earlier released
wireless Buzz! buzzers. These take advantage of the PS3's USB
connections via a dongle, each of which accommodates up to four
wireless buzzers, ensuring that there is always room for another
buzzer, up to the eight players that the game supports both
locally and online.
Rounds play out through a wide variety of modes, all of which
are focused on fun multiplayer action and compromise both
returning play options and those brand-new to the Buzz!
franchise. The variety in these is designed to ensure that both
casual players and serious quiz fans get maximum fun out of Buzz!
Quiz World. Additional features include: PlayStation Eye support
which allows players to take pictures of themselves while playing
for use as avatars later; online multiplayer chat; AI re
of over 300 male, female and nicknames that allows Buzz to
address/criticize players using your real name; the ability to
create and save up to 30 contestant profiles; extensive
contestant customization; a standard knowledge base of over 5,000
questions; additional downloadable quiz packs; user created
quizzes; and players' choice of preset rounds, or the ability to
choose your own.
