Buzz! Master Quiz: A Good Effort Gone Awry

Posted on Sep 24, 2008 12:38:09 PM

The Buzz! Master Quiz is a somewhat clumsy yet important effort on the part of the manufacturers who have brought the popular Buzz series to your PSP handheld unit. The development is rather surprising and you will be puzzled to as to how a game, that is suitable for multiplayer shenanigans, will adjust with a format that is meant for solo gaming. The consequences of such a surprising transition are predictable, and include rather uneven and choppy gameplay.

The game has an eponymous host who guides you through the various rounds in both the single-player and multiplayer mode. But what you will dearly miss are the gaudy sets, glamorous co-host, and wacky character models which played a crucial role in the popularity of the original version. In Buzz! Master Quiz (PSP) you have to choose an on-screen character to represent you in the competition. The single player mode of this format is really bland and insipid, which is unfortunate considering the focus of the PSP is on solo play first, and multiplayer second. You, nevertheless, have three multiplayer modes at your disposal. It is commendable that two out of three of these modes can be played using a single PSP. In the Quiz Host mode, up to six players can participate in the game using a single PSP. The Pass Around mode is undoubtedly the most intriguing part of the game which keeps you on your toes due to its surprising nature.
