What Buzz! The Music Quiz is

Buzz! The Music Quiz is a card & board game game developed by Relentless Software and released in 2005. It was published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. It is available on PlayStation 2 only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Hosted by the computer animated, ever-smiling Buzz and his assistant Rose, the game creates the illusion that the players are in an actual quiz show, complete with buzzers, theme songs and canned audience clapping/laughter. Jason Donovan is the voice of Buzz in the UK and Australia. Different voice-actors are used across Europe for Buzz and Rose. Players can choose from 16 different contestants to suit that persons personal music taste. These include a pop diva (Gina), a rocker (Phil), a punk, an Elvis (Pelvis) and a disco dude (Stevie). These characters resemble famous pop musicians such as Gwen Stefani, Liam Gallagher and Geri Halliwell and Bob Marley. There are over 1,000 music clips…
