This looks surprisingly good. But that whole 'slowly filling in answers' thing is terrible.

It might be an often said thing, but for this it deserves it: One of the best Quick Look's yet. I enjoyed all the snide remarks and various impressions against the British (being British myself: It's a self-loathing thing. :P).

That was a long one but wow, funny and entertaining.  The only question I knew were the Atari 2600 ones, ha-ha.   The quiz game QLs are great because I get to play along too.  Good stuff and the game doesn't look too bad either.  Of course, there is no way in hell anyone over here (US) is going to know which channel islands don't allow driving.  People here have enough trouble finding the country on a map.

As a Brit myself I reckon they've done a pretty good job of adapting this for players in other countries. Oh, and the announcer sounds more Australian than English. =/
 
Also, I'm pretty sure the BIG RED BUTTON is used in other Buzz! games that I guess haven't been released outside Europe and they want to maintain the same controller for this one too. Great if you already have controllers, doesn't make a lot of sense in America.

Looks like a really good rendition of a quiz game, but I don't care much for the part where it's a quiz game.

Well I think it's a bit unfair to say the quizzes were very British-orientated because they asked question about American Football and a defunct American basketball league, which most people here in the UK have no clue about.
 
Also I don't think that Jeff can really take that into consideration for his review because he wouldn't make the same complaint if the questions were focused on American things as he probably wouldn't even notice it in the first place. Seeing as GB is not targeted towards the US I don't think that the game feeling too British should be a factor in the review. I mean I had no idea what the answer to question about country music was but that doesn't make the quiz too American.
 
Anyway I love group quick looks and this was no exception.

One question is wrong, the last game in the American Basketball Association was the 1st Annual Flint Michigan Mega Bowl.

It's Brian Molko from Placebo, and that was Black & Gold by Sam Sparro. Damn Americans.

I agree. Blaming the country of origin is not a smart way to excuse your ignorance, especially considering a huge majority of the questions focused on US culture.

Guys please do this again every time a stupid Quiz game comes out that I don't give a damn about, because seeing you compete is the only entertainment value I get out of them.

@Insectecutor: But they live in the US, and take US versions of the game titles over European or Japanese names (Indigo Prophecy is a good example). It is a bit US focused, let's be honest.

Who makes a Miracle Warriors quiz?  And why would said person post it to this game?
 
I'm one of the 3 people that actually played that game, and I don't even know how you could think of more than 3 questions.
 
Fucking madness!!!
 
BTW, I saw "Press Your Luck" at the store the other day.  Time for the QL of that to complete the game show series.
