Buzz! Brain of the World (2009) is the definitive trivia experience for the PSP, part of the widely popular “Buzz!” franchise. Developed specifically to test your global and regional knowledge, it turns your handheld into a portable game show hosted by the charismatic (and often sarcastic) Buzz.
Game Premise
This installment moves away from specialized topics (like sports or movies) to focus on general knowledge from around the globe. It features thousands of questions covering science, history, geography, and pop culture.
The Plot: You are a contestant on the world’s most popular trivia show. Your goal is to answer questions faster and more accurately than your opponents to climb the leaderboard. The PSP version is uniquely optimized for “on-the-go” play, featuring modes that allow you to play alone or with a group of friends using just one console.

Short Review: The Ultimate Travel Quiz
The Good
-
Massive Replayability: With over 4,500 questions, you’ll rarely see the same one twice, even after dozens of hours of play.
-
Multiplayer Genius: The “Pass-the-PSP” feature is one of the best local multiplayer implementations on the system, requiring no extra cables or copies of the game.
-
Voice Acting: The commentary by Buzz remains funny and engaging, reacting dynamically to how well (or poorly) you are doing.
The Bad
-
Lack of Online: Unlike the PS3 version, the PSP version lacks a robust online infrastructure, focusing primarily on local play.
-
Regional Bias: Depending on which version you buy (EU vs NA), some “World” questions can feel slightly skewed toward specific regions.
