It's business as usual, in other words, with the same strengths and weaknesses as the previous Buzz titles.

Buzz! The Music Quiz is still a solid game, but we can't help but think that the series is starting to run out of quizzes.

It's all a bit samey. [Apr 2008, p.83]

Entertaining, but anyone familiar with the series will find nothing new here. Disappointing. [Apr 2008, p.85]

Fans of pop music will find Buzz!: The Pop Quiz a nice addition to their collection, because it's better than The Music Quiz. If you're not following the music scene then The Pop Quiz doesn't have a lot to offer. The amount of music is too limited and the Buzz! concept is getting repetitive.

It's a shame that Buzz! The Pop Quiz is such an example of an attempt to make a quick buck.

Great if you are new to the game and not so great if you are a regular player. I’m afraid it seems more like a money spinner than something offering great gameplay for everyone.

Exactly the same formula as we've been treated to in prior titles, but this time we get to prove our knowledge about the pop industry. Thousands of questions about pop might sound like a good idea in theory, but when the content is just as uninspiring as in previous titles you'd have to be a hardcore pop fan to get a kick out of this game.

More tribute act than series superstar. [May 2008, p.115]
