buzz.jpgJust in time for your Oscar party, Sony has announced Buzz!: The Hollywood Quiz for the Playstation 2. Following up on the success of it’s successor, The Hollywood quiz looks to help the cash in on the current trend of gaming with over 5,000 questions and three new modes of play it looks like those nifty new controllers will be put to use for quite a while.

There are plenty of nods to Hollywood including characters from Creature of the Black Lagoon, an Arnold/Stallone look alike, a pirate, and even the presentation is reminiscent of the Oscars with a red carpet and a Oscar-esque statue in the shape of the game’s host.

Scheduled for a March 11th release, The Hollywood Quiz doesn’t seem to be straying from the same formula that worked for the other titles in the ! series by keeping the same modes from the other games like Final Countdown and Top rank but they are including three new modes called True or False, Hollywood Stars, and Rollover.

Unfortunately, the Oscars, and your Oscar party, will have come and gone by the time we’ve had a chance to play the game but it will at least fill the time until next year.
