It's been a fun game to make too. When drawing on inspiration for a Hollywood game you don't have to look very far. If you imagined Buzz at the Oscars then you have some idea of the direction we've taken it: out goes the TV studio and in come the dancing girls, the red velvet curtains, the search lights and the statuettes. Of course (lawyers take note), Buzz isn't at the Oscars themselves, but at a similarly auspicious ceremony nearby. [Relentless Software]

Buzz has done it again - fast, frantic, accessible family fun with a huge range of questions, Buzz!: The Hollywood Quiz promises great fun for many gamers and non-gamers alike this winter - and not just the film buffs either.

Just as deep and fun as "Mega Quiz," and it is a bit more polished in terms of its award show presentation and smoother textures.

So, if you have friends, you like movies and you’re in the 25-35 age range, this game is pretty much tailored for you and about five million other people. Clever Sony. And as for that rivalry, well sometimes you just have to know when to throw a fight.

If you aren't a fan of the silver screen steer well clear, because the pleasure inherent will be alien to you. Otherwise, the return of the Jedi of quiz games is of Oscar winning quality.

An ideal first game for Buzz! virgins or film buffs, but seasoned contestants will soon tire of it. [Dec 2007, p.88]

EuroGamer
Just as enjoyable as the previous Buzz! titles - or just as tedious, if you're that way inclined. And that's assuming you're not expecting to be seriously tested if you're a real film fan.

The Buzz! series is still undoubtedly good value and Buzz! Hollywood Quiz! is a game that Buzz! fans will definitely enjoy.

Deserves an award for its ability to reduce four supposedly mature adults to giddy yelps. [Christmas 2007, p.112]

PTGamers
Overall, if you like the concept, often gather a group of friends at home, and have a passion for movies, then Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz comes highly recommended.
