Overview

It is the eighth instalment in the Buzz! series of quiz video games. The game has 21 regional variations with the game's title varying by region, but the basic concept behind the game remains the same.

The questions in Buzz!: Brain of the UK are specifically about UK general knowledge. Wildlife, TV, Sport. The versions of the game for other countries follow the same pattern except for being slanted towards general knowledge with a connection to that specific country.

The PlayStation 3 version of the game features online play and allows access to user created questions on the My Buzz! site, as well as leaderboards. The PlayStation Portable version is developed by Curve Studios. Like the previous Buzz! game on the system Buzz!: Master Quiz, has a "pass-around" mode to enable up to 6 players to take part in the same quiz.
