This is my first time playing a Buzz game and I thought I’d be using the red buzz button more while playing. But most of the time it’s just used as a select button. Which is a little disappointing. It does light up when it’s your turn or when the question is up for grabs which is nice. There are 2 game modes that actually use the buzz button. Pie Fight & Point Stealer. Both are fun modes, but point stealer is by far my favorite. But don’t get me wrong it’s still very fun to play.
You have several modes to choose from:
Single Player - Which is good for practice, but this is a party game and should be played with a group.
2-4 or 5-8 Player - This is where you’ll spend most of your time
Team Play - If you want to do teams I’d recommend to just do the 2-4 player mode. The team play game mode is very slow paced, and no variety either as far as game modes.
Quizmaster - You play as the game show host pretty much. So you make up questions, and the players buzz in. You choose if it’s correct or not. This can be a fun game mode if you have some creative answers thought out in advance, or it could get really crazy on the spot depending on who your playing with.
Custom game - Which is great because you can skip game modes you don’ t like and just do the ones you like.
After you pick your game mode, you can pick your character, and your own buzzer sound. There are a lot of buzzers to pick from too. My favorite character is the one in the swamp monster suit. There are plenty of categories to choose, from Period Dramas to Dumb and Dumber. There is plenty of variety in the game types in 2-4 and 5-8 player mode to keep you entertained. Even if your winning by a long shot, in the last round the last place winner could easily be the first. Also it’s always fun to see the movie related prize when the game is over. There is a Film Fanatic difficulty mode too, you’ll be surprised how much you know sometimes.
Overall it’s a very fun quiz game that will be fun to pull out during parties and get together. I’d rate this a 8 out of 10. I would rate it higher if the movie clips had sound and where longer. Now I want to pick up the Mega Quiz to add to my collection after playing this game.
