Since the odds of getting a playstation2 are the same of getting a winning lottery ticket, I don't have one. But ever since I went to a near Electronics store they've had one that you can test out. And I tested out Fantavision! My brother knew how to play it before I did and when I played him for the first time He beat me and my score was 149/600. I did not know what I was doing! My brother explained to me that you should get as many shooting fire works as you can in a limited time into boxes by using the anolog joysticks and the X button. Then eploded them with the O button to get points. And it gets interesting with the 2x Starmine and the Daisies but I had a good time. And I was unbeatable for ten times against other people who knew how to play the game! Even my brother. If your looking for fast movement games and have PS2 get this game. It Is SO Fun!

This game is awesome for young people. It's not complicated it's a very easy game to play. I should know i even figured out how to play. This game is not only good for young people but a great game for adults as well. The graphics are awesome for a game like this. The game meets up to the greatness of playstation 2.

This is Tetris with a whole new twist!

I saw what the game looks like and it looks pretty interesting. And it's like tetris but with fireworks. And plus it's almost like the same thing on July 4. So this would be a game for anybody, young or old

Underestamated...

THIS GAME IS SO COOL! The graphics are beautiful. People say this game all around stinks, but this game is really quite fun. It is better with two people, though. (Especially when somebody steals your "starmines"!*)
I rented it tonight, and played it with a friend. They should make a Fantavision II. If you got points for destroying targets that would be even more fun.... IGNORE THE OTHERS! YOU WON'T BE LET DOWN!

*"Starmines" are periods of lots of fireworks you catch. This helps you make more points. You earn starmines by collecting stars and eventually spelling "starmine".

Awesome!!!

This game rules, it is fun, but short. Great for a rainy day or any other day. Definitely worth more than $5.

If you are looking for a quick gaming fix don't go here.....

This is a case of a game being misunderstood. This is an excellent game. Can't put the controller down. The game has a very steap learning curve and I understand if some gamers may get frustrated with it. A couple words of advice... take the time to sit and watch the tutorial and the demo saves, and see how the game is really played. Then you will understand... This game is bound to become a PS2 Classic if you just give it a chance.

Fun

This origonal puzzle type game was actually selected for me by my wife. It is great for those of us who like puzzles or who are tired of killing/dying games. I have been amazed by its replayability. I am also able to play one game at a sitting and walk away instead of continually trying "just one more time". If you want to fight the war on terror from your laz-y-boy, this is not the game for you. If you have lots of real action in your life, then try this one.

We're having fun with this game despite what everyone says!

The critics thrashed it. The people who bought thinking it was Tetris hate it. Since I tend to like odd items that nobody else likes (Starship Troopers, Double Team, Lunar, Phantasy Star), this was one of those games where I took the reviews quite lightly. In all honesty, if I bought the PS2 when it was released, this was one of the games that I would have bought.

I admit, I am horrible with puzzle games. My Tetris skills aren't the best, I can't pass Zelda (on the Gameboy) and well, you get the idea. In terms of this game, it will take me a while to get a hang of it. My girlfriend on the other hand, needed 2 tries to get past Level 1. I have yet to get there. And yes, I do know that I am pathetic.

The graphics are pretty neat. Of the games and demos I've seen, I haven't been disappointed with the PS2's graphics. The explosions are really cool and when you chain the fireworks into a 50 or more chain, it's just awesome. Oh, did I mention that it looks like it takes place in Seattle. In the replay mode, we see what could be the Space Needle AND a dome (Kingdome, I think).

The tutorial (yes, there is one and it helped ME) is a bit quiet, the instructor has a fairly soft voice. The music is... Well, typical music fare. It's a little better than the elevator music in Gran Turismo2, but not that much better. However, it does not distract from playing. No, there are other things to distract you during play. And it's no necessarily the game. (Cats, significant other, parents, room mates, work, phones, etc...)

It's an addicting game, though once it's over, it's over. It's not like Tetris where you could go on and on. It's a fun game because what other game allows you to blow up fireworks into neat patterns of your choice?

While the price is a bit steep for a puzzler like this, it's worth a rent or two. It's like paying for Gradius 3/4. It's really hard to do. Fortunately, most stores are dropping the price on this game AND the used versions should be around ... You can't go wrong on those prices seeing how the majority of 128-bit games are closer to.

This game may be catered to a younger crowd, but it's still fun for all ages. Don't be too critical and remember video games are about having fun. Don't let the others get you down. Renting is always a good option if one is undecided.

Fun and Relaxing

The game is quite fun. It's like a "chill-out" game where you can play and have fun and enjoy the cool music, graphics, and pretty fireworks :) Trying to get as many chains of fireworks as possible can be a challenge, if you choose to do so. Enjoy!

Original idea

Who else but Sony would think of a game as original as this one. It is such an original idea. Great idea for your kids if they love fire works, because now, they are all year-round. The graphics get a 10, gameplay 9.5, repeat value 5.0. I say this because once you start the game, it is the same thing, no new adventures.
