    Despite a "creepy" animated host (the mime character is creepy too) and sometimes obnoxious sound effects (the old lady character's song "Doing rather well, oh, I'm doing rather well" is the worst), this game is actually really fun.

Even the grand prizes (my brother got a snow leopard) and the smaller trophies such as fastest answers, highest correct answer percentage, etc. will leave no player disappointed. Easy to set up, too!… Expand

    As close to a real game show as most of us will ever get. even better with more players.

    Tremendous fun - another strong addition to the franchise. (And that is Jason Donovan providing the voice of Buzz in UK/AUS versions).

    If you are looking for a game with a ton of fun, then you will go for this game. There are nice questions and topics, funny animations, and addictive! If you have some friends to play with, then you will be even more addictive.

    Have much fun with this game!

    Buzz is the perfect multi-player party game series. The games are played with buzzers: controllers designed specifically for the game that consist of four coloured answer buttons and a big red buzzer.

    Buzz! The Mega Quiz contains questions about general knowledge and is therefore more accessible to the casual player who has no specific knowledge about sports, movies or music.

    The game is very fun to play with a few friends or family members. Although the host of the show is kind of annoying sometimes and the music is so loud that you can hardly understand the questions, I highly recommend this game if you have other people to play with.    … Expand

    If you're home alone avoid this entirely, but if you're all about riotous social gaming, get involved with Buzz! now. [May 2007, p.112]

    It's getting a bit tired now, but this is a decent installment. [May 2007, p.85]

    There's absolutely no doubt that The Mega Quiz is the strongest instalment in the Buzz franchise to date...arguably the first time that the balance of questions, rounds and presentation has been so close to perfection.
