Buzz! The Big Quiz is the second in the Buzz! series of PlayStation 2 games.

Initial promotional material had it named Buzz! The Uber Quiz, however SCEE announced the change upon the game's launch. The format is essentially that of the original: Buzz! The Music Quiz. However, The Big Quiz covers an extensive range of general knowledge questions, including (but not limited to) geography, history, sport, television, movies, as well as music.

The Big Quiz was released in the UK and New Zealand on March 16, 2006

The rounds are...
