Everybody's favourite game show host is set to make his PSP debut in spring 2008.
In spring 2008, for the first time in Buzz! history, you'll be able to take cheeky game show host Buzz! wherever you want – thanks to the release of the first Buzz! title for PSP, the handheld entertainment system that offers gaming, web access, movies, music, photos and more.
New from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Buzz! for PSP packs over 5,000 questions – on topics including music, celebrities, TV, sport, science, nature, movies and general knowledge – alongside 1,000 pictures and videos, into a game ready to test your knowledge at home or on the move. The title features six new round types specifically designed for PSP including the speed-is-of-the-essence Quickfire Challenge, the picture-puzzler Picture This and the mind-boggling Virus Challenge.
The focus of Buzz! has always been on social play and the PSP version is no different, with three exciting multiplayer modes to test your quiz skills to the limit. Pass Around is a mode that you only need one PSP for, as you pass the system from player to player. As well as the fun of traditional quizzing, some rounds will let you prey on your opponents' general knowledge weaknesses: you can choose who to pass PSP to according to the question's subject matter. Other rounds will let you select the section of a photo you want to reveal to the next player, as you try to make it as difficult as possible for them to guess what it is. It's perfect for stitching up your pals and adds an exciting new tactical edge to game play.
Game sharing is also supported – up to four friends can connect multiple PSP systems and share just one copy of the game to see who's quickest off the mark in frenzied Fastest Finger play. Then there's Quiz Host Mode which is where one of the (two to six) players takes control of the game to select and ask the other players questions. The Quiz Host runs the whole game, with the power to award (or even deduct) points however they see fit.
Not only does Buzz! for PSP offer great multiplayer quiz action; it also has a bigger and more exciting single player mode than previous Buzz! games. This mode presents players with a series of 15 different quiz challenges designed to test all aspects of your general knowledge. In each round, players can earn medals for their performance according to how many points they collect from correct answers. Each quiz has bronze, silver and gold medal criteria, so be sure to brush up on your general knowledge skills if you want to earn those elusive golds! There is also a variety of special trophies to collect according to how many correct questions the players has answered in a row, or how fast the players react.
Buzz! for PSP is the perfect way to share the fun of PSP with friends, or test your general knowledge on your own. Brilliant for a long journey, on holiday or at home, it will keep you and your friends quizzing for hours.
