What's to Like: Graphics. Fantastic Multiplayer Madness! What's Not to Like: If you don't have any friends, you don't want this.
Fuzion Frenzy is one of those games that's great when you have friends around, but that's about it. However, if you have friends with you playing this game, you probably won't be playing anything else but Fuzion Frenzy.
Fuzion Frenzy is a party game, and designed for up to four players. If you are playing by yourself, you'll have 3 AI bots to play against. Basically, there are 45 minigames picked at random by the Xbox for your to play and the winner is whoever gets the most points after the games are played. You can select a different number of games to play in order to crown a champion.
The games are very simple, but very fun, such as a game where you have to spray paint the critters so they'll go to your base to get points. Of course your opponents can spray them also, which makes them change direction.
Many of the games are very similar to each other, calling into question the "45 minigames" promised-it's akin to calling a racetrack and having it reversed as "2 tracks."
Graphics and sound are very good, and the gaming can be addicitive…if you have more than one player. My guess is that this will be one of the first Xbox bargain games in a few months, so you may want to wait until then to pick it up. Don't get me wrong-it is a fun game-if you have friends.
