Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz is the fifth and most recent edition in the Buzz! series of video games developed for the Sony Playstation 2 by Relentless Software. Players have to answer questions asked by the quiz master (the eponymous Buzz) using the four Buzz! remote controls. [2]
There are only 2 games available in the Single Player game, which are Time Builder, where answering questions will gain time in the final round, and Hotseat, where players answer as many questions as they can, using the time they accumulated in Round 1. To gain points, players must bank when appropriate. If they get a question wrong, they lose all the points they did not bank.

[edit] Rounds
[edit] Fastest Finger
Study a photo clue and give the correct answer as quickly as possible. The quicker you buzz, the more points you'll get.
[edit] Fact or Fiction
Listen carefully as Buzz will tell you some hot Hollywood gossip and decide if it's the truth or a crafty constructed lie. Press the blue button to select 'Fact' or orange button to select 'Fiction'. Only then will the truth be revealed!
[edit] Top Rank
Put four answers into the correct order as fast as you can to get the big points. Simply press the coloured buttons on your Buzz! Buzzer to choose your answers. When everyone has made a selection, the correct order will be displayed.
[edit] Pie Fight
The first contestant to answer a question correctly gets the chance to punish a rival with a well-aimed cream pie. Wait until your opponent is highlighted and hit the Buzz! button to fling a pie. Get hit enough pies and you'll have no lives left - meaning you're out of the round!
[edit] Rollover
At the start of this round, contestants get to choose a category to answer questions from. The contestant with the lowest score chooses first, followed by the contestant with the next lowest score and so on. When the questions arrive, if you get one wrong, the points you could have won will be put into a kitty. The next contestant to answer a question correctly will pick up all of the points generated by your wrong answers.
[edit] Point Stealer
This is where the competition really does get personal. Wait as a picture, a question and some possible answers are slowly revealed. When you think you know the answer, hit the Buzz! button and see if you're correct. If the answer is right, you'll get to steal 500 points from an opponent. If it's wrong, you're out of the round!
[edit] The Final Countdown
This is the final round, folks, so there really is everything to play for. The points that you have amassed during the previous rounds will be converted into bars of time, and with the questions coming thick and fast, the bars will gradually tick down. Answer a question correctly to temporarily halt the countdown, but when your bar ticks down and totally disappears, you will be eliminated from the competition. If you are really quick with your correct answers then you may well be rewarded with a time bonus, but if you jump in too quickly with a wrong answer then you could stand to lose even more time. The object of the round is to be the last contestant with any bars left, thus becoming the winner of Buzz!: The Hollywood Quiz.
