If you are a fan of trivia games, like Trivial Pursuit: Silver Screen edition or quiz show game, then Buzz: Hollywood Quiz could be the game for you. It is a Sony PlayStation 2 video game that comes with four special controllers, which also work on the PlayStation 3, for the price of about £20. Don’t let the price or the controllers put you off, the game isn’t half bad. Buzz: Hollywood Quiz is designed to fit in well with any of the trivia games out there. The scenario of this game is that you are on a game show, not playing a boring old board game at home with your parents. When you play a trivia game that is designed to feel like you are on a TV show it makes for much more entertainment, fun and excitement. When starting the game, you can choose your own special animated avatar. There are several to choose from and some will be quite familiar to anyone who loves the movies and if you don’t love the movies, you probably shouldn’t be playing a Hollywood-based trivia game in the first place. You can also name your avatar and customise its colour scheme. There are a couple of different modes for Buzz: Hollywood Quiz, single player and multiplayer. When you play in the single player mode, you answer a ton of movie-based questions, many of which are accompanied by video clips, audio questions and photo stills. When you answer these questions correctly, you earn more time in the hot seat in the second round. However, you don’t really earn any points until you get past the first round. In the second round you can make bets and gamble a little to earn even more. When you choose the multiplayer mode, there are actually a few different options. This is great for when you have friends over or your parents actually want to play a video game with you. You have a choice of modes, team, free for all or you may customise your own trivia game show. Buzz: Hollywood Quiz supports up to eight players per game. Just remember, when you play with eight people at home, it can get a little confusing. Why not try sticking to just a couple at home and eight when you play online? There are more than 5,000 different questions in Buzz: Hollywood Quiz, which makes for great game play and if you use a memory card, you can eliminate the risk of repeated questions for a while. This game provides entertainment for younger players, as well as those even older than your parents. Buzz: Hollywood Quiz is bright, colourful and lots of fun and its pleasing pastel palette is a soothing yet stimulating backdrop to the trivia game. The overall design of the game isn’t going to break any video game barriers, but it is excellent for what it is, a simple and straightforward trivia game.
