Initial promotional material had it named Buzz! The Uber Quiz, however Sony Computer Entertainment Europe 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 geography, history, sport, television, movies, as well as music. Like Buzz!: The Music Quiz, Buzz!: The Big Quiz was released for the PlayStation 2 exclusively in Europe.
The Big Quiz was released in the UK on 17 March 2006. In the same year it won a BAFTA for best casual and social game.[1]
