Fuzion Frenzy

"Fuzion Frenzy tried hard to be one of best party game on Xbox, but unfortunately, it falls short."

I bought 'Fuzion Frenzy' for my little brother a while ago. I and my brother both played the demo version of this game and we liked it. So that's why we bought the game. Here's my review for this game. :)

Gameplay [8]
The gameplay is where this game shines. As being the party game in its own heart, it has variety of ways to play. And each play has their own rule and how it plays. After playing through all the games featured in this game, I found some being nearly impossible to beat the cpu opponents on the hard setting. However, the overall experience is great. And if you add 3 more players on this game, this game will be the perfect family entertainment.

Story was not graded, since there's really no story on this game.

Audio/Video [7]
Since this game was made by Microsoft Studio, this one takes advantage of Xbox and its hardware use. The graphic is cool and the lighting is kind of nice touch to the game. The music isn't really exciting and if it lets me to use custom sound track, then it could have been nice touch, too. But no custom soundtrack support so it lets me down on one point. However, the characters look little bit childish and they are not really original in their looks. They look like typical cartoon characters and if the game featured more characters to choose from, it could have been nice touch, too. The game never gets slowdown, so it never has the frame rate problem and everything is good. :)

Replayability [7]
After playing the game, you can choose the gameplay you want to play sololy/with other people. That is, you can choose whatever you want to play, not computer choosing it for you. However, if you play this game for a while, it gets boring and some of gameplays are repetitive and even similar but different look/name. So for me and my brother, there are only bunch of gameplays that are worth playing and rest of them are just out of our play list. If the game had features like, 'create your own chearacters', 'custom soundtrack', or let player choose who would be on the team, could have made this game much better. But now, it falls short from being the must-have game for Xbox...

Buy or Rent?
This game is now 19.99 USD and you can rent it if you want.
But if you are looking for the family entertainment that everyone can enjoy regardless of gaming experience, this one is for you.
