YDKJ only has text on the screen, certainly no match graphically compared to other games. What makes YDKJ special are the sound bites, intro music to each question and snappy Game Host. This is really one of the best Trivia games, the music clips draw you into each round. Pause at entering your name and get insulted for being dumb. Hit a key to bypass the opening instructions and you can hear the host razzing off to get the show started because someone is in a real hurry. Even a correct answer will at times get a snide comical remark from the host, this game is just hilarious! The series comprises eighteen games, thirteen of which are part of the Buzz! Series, five of which are part of the Buzz! Junior series. The last game of the series, Buzz!: The Ultimate Music Quiz was released in 2010, and this is the first time we have seen a title from this series. From 27 August 2009 to 24 September 2009, an event for Buzz! took place in a special PlayStation Events Space. The event was called the " Buzz! Tomato Challenge" and used the space, Events Landing. Exclusive footage from the Buzz! World Championships grand final at La Tomatina festival in Spain was shown during the event. Users were able to take part in a virtual version of the real world event via the Buzz! Tomato Challenge pod in the re-dressed Events Landing. Users threw tomatoes at the enormous Buzz by answering quiz questions correctly. If they successfully hit Buzz ten times within the time limit, they were rewarded a Buzz! Tomato Head for their avatar. This event was only available to the European Home. [15] Cameos [ edit ]

I don't think anyone can be happy with [Buzz! PS3] compared to PS2," shrugged Eades. "We [Relentless] weren't enthralled by it's performance and we felt that the market got a bit too much Buzz! too soon on PS3. As in the other Millionaire games, the loser takes a passive role of shouting out the answers while the winning player takes the money hot seat.I have always wanted to get more use out of my Buzz Controllers. The existing Buzz library are great for Trivia and Party games, but there had to be more. I was disappointed that most other Trivia games were not compatible with the Buzz Controller, even imported a PAL PS2 Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game, converted it to work in NTSC and posted a PAL to NTSC Guide. All this just to get an additional use out of the Buzz controller set. This game is for one or two players only. If two players, instead of buzzing in each player uses four of the number keys to rearrange the answers. Player One uses 1, 2, 3 and 4 while Player Toe uses 7,8,9 and 0. In 2006 the second game in the Buzz series, Buzz!: The BIG Quiz, won the BAFTA award for Best Casual and Social game. [4] Buzz!: Quiz TV has been nominated in the Best Social Game and Best Multiplayer Game categories for the 2009 BAFTA video game awards. [5] The series has sold over 10 million copies. [6] Jungle Party is designed in a way that kids would be able to play it. [4] Up to 4 people can play all the 40 mini-games, [5] with Liz Barker as a narrator. [6] Some of them include skydiving, colour matching, stealing an ostrich's egg and shooting balloons. [4] Each game has a specific objective, with maximum points given by completing twenty of those in one round. [7] Following this thought, I assigned the other lifeline calls placed after an answer button. The B answer button is also followed by the P phone for help button. Likewise the 50/50 with 5 selection is after the C answer button. The Lifeline options are read from right to left, reverse of the normal left to right since the A button is both the first answer and audience poll call.

I'll focus on the PC version and list how to enable the Buzz controllers. Follow the OP at the top to lightup and setup the Buzz controllers and keep in mind there are some differences of the initial key input programming required to make the Buzz Controller intuitive for the Millionaire games. a b c Hoogerwaard, John (10 November 2005).

A PlayStation 3 game is an expensive thing to make," he went on, "and I don't think it makes much sense to spend that much money to make a game for such a small demographic. That's not Sony's fault, not our fault - that's the way the market is." I'm not going to say that," laughed Eades. "I'm not going to accuse Sony of anything. Things we wanted to happen didn't happen, and that's not Sony's fault, that's not Relentless' fault. A lot of it is down to market conditions.

Every time you update the emulator there’s a fairly decent chance that you’ll completely lose access to your save states as they become incompatible, which is where setting up a PS2 memory card comes in.

Keep in mind the later questions are harder, so best to save the Lifeline until later on a round. Sometimes the answer is obvious, but overall the game will really push to test your knowledge. No Google cheating since the PC displays the game in full screen. Not fair to Pause a game or setting up a second computer for data search either! Buzz! is a series of video games originated by Sleepydog Ltd., [1] [2] developed by Relentless Software and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable consoles. They are quiz games that see the players answering trivia questions while competing in the fictional game show Buzz!. Created specifically with multi-player party gaming in mind, the series launched in October 2005 and to date comprises 18 games; including 13 in the Buzz! series and five Buzz! Junior titles. The series made the transition to the PlayStation 3 with Buzz!: Quiz TV in 2008. The sixteenth game in the series Buzz!: Brain of the UK was released in March 2009.

The PC versions of YDKJ games use a keyboard for buzzing in and entering answers. JoytoKey can be used to detect the Buzz buttons. Plug in the Buzz USB cord or wireless Buzz receiver. JoytoKeys will show 32 buttons detected, but only the first 20 buttons are used. The program will convert the USB controller buttons and emulate them to work as the keyboard. When programming the four select buttons of a Buzz controller, keep in mind they range one thru four from the bottom to the top. Since only a maximum of three players are used in the game, the fourth Buzz unit can be utilized as the menu or select buttons if desired. Get the earlier editions where the focus is on the questions, not the silly character animation interrupting a round. As in the YDKJ series, another enjoyable Party style game, especially great for drawing in the non video game player. For Relentless Software, the book has all but closed on Buzz! - a quiz series voiced by Jason Donovan and recognised by its bespoke four-button controllers. What Sony poured champagne over during the glory days of PS2 simply failed to bubble on PS3.

He was reluctant to even say whether Relentless had toyed around with NGP.
