This game is not up to the standard of the other x-box titles. The graphics are bland, the landscapes are dull & boring. There are many other games being launched at the same time as this one. I would wait for something a bit more "Next Generation".

Total Crap

Don't wast $50 on this game. It should be included free with an XBox, even then it's too expensive. How did Microsoft let this game into the Xbox game inventory with such poor gameplay and lame graphics. My five-year-old even thinks this games sucks.

Take it from me, this game is very bad. The animations & gameplay are not good at all. This would work as a PlayStation game, how can it be on X-Box? The graphics are bad also.

Boring and Poitless

This game does not bold well for the launch line up of X-Box games. There are many GOOD X-box games to choose from DOA3, Halo etc. This one is not recommended. It has a concerning bad look & feel to it. The game suffers from massive slow down problems rendering it unplayable in many places. The whole game lacks any imagination or innovation in design; the graphics are truly atrocious & lack any real depth or style. The intro & presentation are very badly executed, animations are amateur hour. I haven't played a game so bad in such a long time. Best avoid.

Don't buy this game

This game sucks!!! It is advertised as a party game and some of the events are kinda fun but the graphics are horrible. Looks like an old and primitive game. In most events the characters are so small and the depth perception is so bad that you can't figure out who you are and what you are supposed to do. Stay away from this game.

do not buy this game

this game is so bad that i traded it for some demo disks!!
the mini-games are the worst thing to put on your Xbox anytime

Sample mini-game: "collect as many rockets as you can and the runover to the lanuching pad to launch the rockets" Vary boring.

Another mini-game: "whack bugs with your big hammer to keep them
from eating your cheeseburger" Vary stupid

I am writing this review as a courtesy. save your money.

A Game That Lacked An Identity

Fuzion Frenzy is...in many ways...fun! There are close to 50 games, a bunch of characters, and lots of things to try. Unfortunantly, the games have no real purpose, no real rules, and each uses such different controls...its hard to get into a flow. Here's what I thought of Microsoft's Fuzion Frenzy:

1) The Gameplay: Well, there are dozens of games to try, and u can play with up to 4 players. The graphics are pretty good and the game is pretty fun. The problem? The gameplay is repetitive, the controls stink, and it seems like a game that tried to be 3 or 4 different games and in fact doesn't seem in any way it's own.

You start out by picking a game type. Multiplayer, single player, tournament, arcade, etc... In Arcade for example, u can pick any game and play it over and over again...or pick another game. You can do this with as many players as u want.

Once u pick a game type, and how many people are playing, you pick a character. The problem begins here. The players seem to be different through color and gender, not through persounallity. Each person just seems to be either a green guy or a pink girl. They hardly ever talk, have no persounality or grudges or talents, and seem to just be there. This was a major problem, as I never found anyone to be my "favorite." It's not like Mario Party, where each character is different and fun to try. Here, everyone seems to be the same...and they are. Another problem is no one seems to have a face. Just eyes, a nose, a mouth. They don't react, smile, talk. No mustaches, long hair. Each person is so similar, u won't care who u pick. That's a MAJOR problem.

The games, thankfully, are for the most part, fun. There's 45 mini-games to try, each pretty fun. There are games where you hop in Vehicles and do things. For example, try not to hit each others tail, or knock the other off the sumo court (it continues to shrink, and you try to push the other 3 people's ball-shaped vehichles off...like SUMO). You have games where u collect the most valuables, kill the most bugs, etc... When u win a mini-game, in a tournament, u get points. 1st gets the most, followed by second, third, fourth, etc... You add up points through about 10 mini-games. The winner gets bragging rights. Unfortunantly, 45 mini-games isn't that much to choose from, the characters aren't that interesting. In the end, it gets very dull. And not all of the games are good.

Some are just boring and seem to be impossible, and can take 15-20 minutes just to understand. That's no fun (especially at a sleepover or party (where this game is aimed at)). The controls aren't very good, and with just 45 mini-games, all of them needed to be. Not the case here, and may have killed this game's gameplay.

2) Graphics: Decent, but nothing the PS2 or GC couldn't handle. The water looks decent and plain, the characters have no real special affects. The envirements are vibrant and colorful, but nothing great. This was a launch game by Microsoft, where they boasted the best graphics in the world...yet these graphics were nothing new. They get the job done, but don't in ANY way save the game. The graphics were good...but any console now a' days can do good. What we want is GREAT!

3) Options: Several. You can play all types of games in all types of modes, create how long your game is, how hard, etc...very good. There are a lot of characters, a lot of games, and a lot of different things to try. There are a lot of options...but it didn't save the game.

Overall, if u have NO multiplayer games, u might want to pick this up (especially for it's price). It is fun, it is pretty unique, but it needs a LOT of improvent. I enjoyed playing it, it did have a lot of cool stuff, but it wasn't anything I'd brag about to my friends. This is a good game that the whole family (girls...boys at any age), and if u find a good deal, u might want to pick it up.

Just don't expect Mario Party here. It's a good game, with decent graphics, but gets pretty old fairly quickly.

Hope this helped,

Thx!

Great for parties, boring on your own.

If this game were a multiplayer only game, i would actually give it a much higher score then two stars. The reason being that the only fun part of this miserable game is the multiplayer and when you have friends over. On your own, it is just a discrase with horrible A.I, graphics, gameplay and audio, all this added together equals a very bad game.

I will now split my review into sections of graphics, gameplay and audio. Of course this game doesn't have online capabilites because it came out before Xbox Live was even released. To be honest, if Xbox Live had come out at the very beginning and this game supported online play, i would probobly give it a 3/5 because of its extremely fun gameplay when you are playing against one another offline.

Graphics- The graphics in Fuzion Frenzy are definetely ones to be embarassed about. With horrible character models, background design and retarded looking features on each "map", the graphics portion of the game is definetely lacking in deatail. It reminds me of something that you would find out of a gameboy advance now a days, actually, come to think about it, this games graphics are probobly worse then even that. Thus if the graphics were better in Fuzion Frenzy, i would give the game a much higher score, but please, graphics like these just aren't acceptable!

Gameplay- The gameplay in Fuzion Frenzy is extremely simplistic as well. Basically, when you are accessed to the menu of Fuzion Frenzy, you are given the choice to enter a tournament or you can choose mini games that you can play on your own or with friends. The game is made up of at least 45 minigames, each one of the at least 45 minigames requires a maximum of three buttons out of all of them on the Xbox controller to be used. Sad! If you enter a tournament, you can choose between two, four, or six stages, each stage consisting of four random minigames that fit that stage and then a final game which they call "Fuzion Frenzy" where you can basically gamble the points that have earned for the other games and depending on whether you lose or win, will get processed to the final rank of that stage putting you in a certain position from characters doing the best to the ones doing the worst.

Like i said before, the gameplay is extremely simplistic which makes it really boring at times and it forces you to just shut off your Xbox console.

However, if you are playing multiplayer, it is a much different story considering that there is actually a challenge (most of the time) and the players actually know what they are doing instead of the incredibly dull and stupid A.I running all over the place.

Audio- Oh god, the worst part of this miserable discraceful game is yet to come. The audio! Every time you play a minigame there is this annoying voice counting you down until the game starts. As the game progresses the annoyvoice does as well providing you with "helpful" commentary. Also did i not mention that the music in Fuzion Frenzy are produced by wannabe techno DJ's? Well now i have, and yet another reason not to buy Fuzion Frenzy.

In conclusion, this game would get a lot higher rating if they had made it "multiplayer only" but enhanced the features a lot more and provided us with a little more complicated minigames. But for now, its just a wannabe game that didn't get anywhere in terms of money made, and in my opinion, never will.
