Bridge the age gap. January 5, 2009
T. Hannon (Senecaville, OH United States)
We got this game as a Christmas gift. We already had the buzzers. (We have the wireless set for the PS3, but they work great on the PS2 as well.) Me (45), my wife (44), and my two boys (8 and 5) have spent hours with this game and we have had a ball. Even the young kids can be competitive with the adults without having to worry about complicated game controls. We even set up a custom game that contains events that only require the big red button to play, so the youngest one can be competitive as well. (He has a little trouble keeping up with the games that require the colors). This is one video game that actually brings the family together for some real fun.
Buzz is the Best November 10, 2008
Catherine Bell (Charlotte, NC)
We first bought Buzz Jr. for my 8 year old's birthday. It was on sale here at Amazon. I had no idea what it was, but the price was right and we couldn't pass it up. Best purchase we have ever made. We love Robo Jam just as much as Buzz Jr. The neighbor adults fight over it as much as the kids do. Thank goodness, at least 4 can play!! Absolutley love this game!!!!!!
Another nifty game in the Buzz! Junior collection April 30, 2008
Mitchell M. Tse (Antioch, CA United States)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is the second game released in the Buzz Junior collection (and there are a total of 4 Buzz games, including the following: BUZZ: The Hollywood Quiz (Stand Alone), BUZZ Jr.: Robo Jam (Stand Alone), BUZZ: The Mega Quiz (Software Only), and BUZZ Jr.! Jungle Party (Software Only). There is also a bundle version of each of the four games listed above.
Note that this game requires the Buzz controller set (which is actually 4 controllers linked together). Therefore, you'll need to get one of the other bundles (BUZZ: The Mega Quiz Bundle, BUZZ Jr.! Jungle Party Bundle, or BUZZ: The Hollywood Quiz), or somehow buy a controller separately, to play this game.
Each controller set again is made up of 4 Buzz controllers linked together and connected via USB to the PS2 (or PS3, if your particular model allows backwards compatibility). The Buzz controller has a big red buzzer and 4 rectangular buttons (colored blue, yellow, green, orange)
This game is basically the same as the Buzz Jr. Jungle game, in that you use the controller to control your character (in this case, a small robot). You can play either one minigame at a time, or a set of games (and you can choose from 3 different sets of varying numbers of games). The individual minigames typically comprise of hitting the button(s) at the right time (working on hand-eye coordination, timing, and rhythm), hitting the correct color button (working on color recognition), and some games are typically random luck. There's instructions at the beginning of each minigame, and the game cheers on the players (congratulating the best and rooting for the worst players) during the game.
The games are fun the play and easy to pick up (I would say a 3 year old should be able to play the game), so this is very good fun for the whole family. Another great game to keep the PS2 alive for the family, or to justify getting the 80gb PS3!
Definitely recommended. Also, I would recommend getting a second Buzz bundle, in case your controller ever breaks (mine haven't yet), but my kids are slightly older (6 years old being the younger).
