Fuzion Frenzy

Fuzion Frenzy was the first original Xbox game designed for multiplayer. Sure, it features a single player mode as well, but it wasn't nearly as good as playing with anywhere from 1-3 friends. However, it was the first party game out for the Xbox, and considering the new controller, graphics, and capabilities of a new system, the creators pulled it off quite well.

The gameplay differs from game to game, due to the assorted mini-games. However, there is a common theme to them, and that is beating your opponents. Whether it's gathering up coins while trying to keep from being sucked into a whirlpool, or trying to smash more bugs than your opponents with oversized hammers, or trying to light the most fireworks as the clock ticks down, there's never a dull moment.

Okay, so I lied, there are some dull moments. Many of the games are extremely similar. While it's advertised to have more than 60 games, if you take out all the ones that are similar to others, it's...

THE GOOD:
Very fun minigames.

THE BAD:
Not much of a game if not played with friends.

SUMMARY:
Fuzion Frenzy is a really good multiplayer game. If you don't have friends to play it with, though, the single-player is pretty pointless. Not a bad buy though, since it's only $20 (or less) now. The mini-games are challenging and the levels and characters are colorful. Xbox live support would've been nice, but Xbox Live wasn't around when this game came out.

Like I've said before, this game is meant for multiplayer and multiplayer only. If you want to play the single player with the bots, go ahead. It's alright, but not as fun as playing with friends. I would've given this game a three, but without a strong single-player support, a 2.5 is all I could offer...

THE GOOD:
This area in this game is so crappy, its impossible to tell the good from the bad. Only the variety of games that you can play keeps this game from being worse than Pulse Racer...

THE BAD:
Well, lets begin. The game is fairly hard, its goals are stupid, the graphics are crappy, and its has only one view, so it is hard to tell where your character is.

SUMMARY:
This game is more fit for a coaster, or something else than a game. The goals in the game are too simple and childish, and only one view (and the fact that most of the characters look the same from your perspective) keeps you from playing right.

THE GOOD:
Good gameplay, fun mini-games, great graphics, fun multi-player...

THE BAD:
Lame soundtrack, doesn't get the credit it deserves...

SUMMARY:
This game is definitely one of the under-rated games out for the Xbox. It has loads of mini-games for you to choose from, most of which are lots of fun and high in replay value.

Don't let the kiddish looks fool you. This game has great taste and will bring a smile to even the older gamers face. I was surprised with this game and am quite pleased with it.

Hopefully, you will feel the same I do about the game because if you don't give it at least a try, you are missing out on some great fun.

Its a great party game as well. Invite 3 of you're friends over and have a brawl against each other. Its loads of fun and its sure to not disapoint.

Overall Outcome: Buy It!

THE GOOD:
Well,umm...destruction?

THE BAD:
everything else.

SUMMARY:
A frenzy? This ain't no frenzy. This is more of a dumb party. Uhhhhhh,me don't like it. Neither shall you. You could like it,if you are an idiot. Trust me. For I am TAILS PROWER! And I declare this game fuc... fu... f... ZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzz WHOA! SORRY! This is not good,it is one bad son of a bit... ZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzYIPE! OKAY! I won't swear anymore! Bad game.
