The best trivia game for PS3, but not without fault.

Buzz! is an excellent party game. Have a bunch of people over that aren't necessarily gamers? Whip out the included buzzers and let the fun begin. The game has an excellent presentation for first timers and guests. The host, Buzz, is very charasmatic and it has small comical touches (ie: funny buzzer sounds, and funny characters) to keep the fun and laughter going for the night. The game also already has 4 add-on packs available with 500 questions each to keep the subjects expanding over broader areas. But, the game is lacking in many places; Mainly, for those looking for replay value outside of guests coming to play.
Presentation wise, the gae show is always the same, and the introduction to the each round never changes. Buzz! is always making the same jokes making them boring and ultimately just something you want to skip. The online aspect only allows one PS3 for each contestant. So, if you have a friend over, one will have to watch, while you play online. That wouldn't be so bad, but the game dumbs itself down by not giving you all of those charasmatic rounds and their gimicks as an option.
Trophies (for the most part) are based on how much you play and not what you accomplish. Playing by yourself doesn't mean you'll get a cpu opponent either. It means you play a beat the clock contest with yourself.
For those of you that want an accessible multi-player game that's fun for everyone, this is it!! But, for those of you that are looking to get longevity out of a title for yourselves, you're better off looking elsewhere.
