Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz
Not much has changed for Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz. Apart from the questions, obviously, which are all about films, obviously. They're supposed to be about celebrities' lives and Hollywood gossip too, but very few are, and none of them are very interesting (select the Hugh Grant category and you won't find any mentions of Divine Brown, for example).
You can choose easy or hard questions, but even the supposedly more difficult set won't tax the average movie fan. This is definitely a game aimed at the whole family rather than someone taking a break from writing their thesis on the parallels in Ai No Corrida and The Boyfriend School.
As with the other Buzz! games, the rounds are nicely varied and well-balanced and offer plenty of chances for underdogs to catch up. New ones include Fact or Fiction, where you have to decide whether a statement about a particular film or star is true. It's a bit dull.
Then there's Rollover - players answer questions individually, and if they get them wrong the points go into a jackpot which the next player can win. As with all the best Buzz! rounds there's potential for real rivalry and resentment here, and it's fun.
Another addition to the Hollywood version is movie clips. There are over 100 of these, but you won't find them popping up in rounds very often. This is no great loss as they tend to ruin the momentum of the game while everyone sits there watching them.
You can play as a variety of movie characters different enough from their real life counterparts to avoid legal difficulties.
So all in all, The Hollywood Quiz is just as enjoyable as the previous Buzz! titles - or just as tedious, if you're that way inclined. And that's assuming you're not expecting to be seriously tested if you're a real film fan.
Which might make it a more attractive proposition than Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz. There's one thing to bear in mind though - the Buzz! game is said to feature 5000 questions while, a little surprisingly, Scene It! has "over 1800". It would certainly take you a long time to get through 1800, but it's a little surprising that the old-gen movie quiz game has the more questions.
Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz will do just fine for PS2 owners who fancy a bit of movie trivia and can put up with the Australian.
EXCELLENT GAME!!!
