Introduction -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Welcome to the Feeding Frenzy strategy guide. Though Feeding Frenzy is a basic game that can be downloaded in the Xbox arcade, I feel there is enough to this game that warrants a strategy guide. In this guide, you will learn everything that there is to know about the game. By the time you are done reading this guide, you should be able to unlock all 12 achievements, finish the time trial mode, and obtain any rank you want on the leaderboard. Enjoy the small, but in- depth guide on this game. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at gromzzz@gmail.com. Enjoy! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2. About the Author (Gromzzz) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Now that you are about to read my Feeding Frenzy guide, I figured it would be beneficial to know who the author is before reading on. First and foremost, you can call me Gromzzz. My gamertag on Xbox 360 is Gromzzz and I am currently in the midst of playing Top Spin 2 and MLB 2K6 online. I wrote strategy guides and reviews for the last seven years. I worked for some major videogame websites and decided to get out of the industry a few years ago. Being a college student at the time (YES, how lucky was I to freelance for major videogame websites as a high school student!) I felt that I lost my gaming touch. I'm a huge sports fanatic, and I felt that the yearly dosage of same name games were a bit boring. After my brother convinced me to get a Xbox 360, I fell back in love with videogames. Xbox Live has brought back all the gaming love I had when I started writing strategy guides back when Dreamcast was the hottest system around. Now that I'm about to graduate college in a year with a Business Administration degree, I believe it's beneficial for me to get back into writing guides. Expect to see my name on every major sports title that hits Xbox 360. Being experienced in the gaming industry, I know that criticism is my best friend. If I get e-mails over and over again saying my guide is wonderful, my strategy guide writing skills will not improve. Please let me know how you feel about my guide and make sure to e-mail me your true thoughts. Also, as you may know, I'm a poor college student. Feel free to donate to my paypal account at: gromzzz@gmail.com if you found this guide to be useful. Most guides nowadays go for $20.00 at your local videogame store, and I believe my guides are a lot more in-depth. Enjoy reading the guide and again, please let me know how you feel about my work. Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 3. Update History -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- April 30th 2006 (Version 0.1) - No better way to end the month of April with the first version of this strategy guide. Enjoy it, and if you have any questions or suggestions, please e-mail me at gromzzz@gmail.com. Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 4. Controls -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The controls in Feeding Frenzy are very simple. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Controls -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Left Trigger Fish Dash Right Trigger Fish Special Ability Left Stick Move Fish Right Stick Move Fish START Pause A Fish Dash X Fish Special Ability A Fish Dash is simply when your fish lunges out to eat other fish. You can simply eat fish by moving the analog stick towards them. The Fish Special Ability is when your fish sucks in a ton of water that sucks everything towards your fish. This can be very useful when dealing with groups of fish in a specific area. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 5. Time Attack/Normal Mode Walkthrough -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is the most in-depth part of the strategy guide. Here I explain every event and exactly what you have to do in order to complete the event. If you are having any problems with any level, make sure to read through this walkthrough. Also, there is a simple, yet effective rating key on how hard each level is. Use it to your advantage during time attack mode. Rating Key: 1 Star = Very easy level, should be no problem. 2 Stars = Mediocre level, a death here and there. 3 Stars = Watch out, you?re in trouble. Stage 1: Small Fish, Small Pond Slogan: Where the fish are small and the minnows are crunchy! Description: Meet Andy the Angel Fish. Use your controller to move Andy through the dangerous waters ahead. How to Play: Eat fish that are smaller than you. Avoid fish that are bigger than you. Eat enough fish and you'll grow in size. Personal Strategy: This level could not be any easier. You start out with a minute and ten seconds and you should easily finish in time. A normal score for this level is around 3,000 points. When I played I killed 48 small fish, 24 yellow fish, and 5 of the green. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 2: Feeding Frenzy! Slogan: Bonus Stage! Description: You've came across a school of minnows, and there are no predators in sight. Can you eat all the fish before the timer runs out? How to Play: THE FRENZY METER: Fill up your Frenzy Meter by eating fish quickly. When your Frenzy Meter is full, you earn double the points for everything you eat! To keep it full, keep eating! Personal Strategy: You have 45 seconds to complete this level. There are 38 fish to eat and it should take you less than 25 seconds to complete this level. This is a very easy level due to the fact that there are no predators that can eat you. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 3: Bubble Bubble Slogan: A starfish a day keeps low scores away! Description: Rumor has it that some tough customers live on this side of the reef. Watch out for the Lion Fish that can chase you down! How to Play: Starfish bubbles don't help you grow, but they're worth a lot of points. Plus, they won't bite back! Personal Strategy: This is a very easy stage that should be completed in no time. I killed 59 small fish, 14 yellow fish, and 5 green fish in this mission. I also collected 9 time clocks which gave me plenty of time to complete the mission. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 4: Hidden Treasures Slogan: Clam up! Description: The oysters here on the ocean floor are busy making pearls. Swoop in and eat the pearls for extra points! If you're lucky you may find other treasures inside as well. But, be careful, the oysters might snap shut and eat you instead! How to Play: FISH DASH ATTACK; For a quick burst of speed, press A. Personal Strategy: At the start of this mission, I had 10,150 points and one minute and ten seconds on the clock. This mission opens up a new feature to the game. There are two clams on the bottom of the screen and they will open and close periodically. Occasionally, inside you will find a white or black pearl that you can swim over to and eat. These pearls give you additional points but do not help in time. When eating the pearls, make sure to attack the pearl right when the shell opens. If you wait to long, the shell will close on you, and you will die. This mission is also very easy and should take little time. I killed 54 small fish, 18 yellow fish, and 1 red fish during this mission. I also collected 14 clocks. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 5: School's Out! Slogan: Time for a culinary field trip! Description: Fish swim in schools for defense. Eat an entire school to earn a special School Bonus that's worth a whopping 500 points! How to Play: HINT: Remember to use your Fish Dash ability by pressing A! It's a great way to catch quick-moving schools of fish. Personal Strategy: At the start of this mission, I had 13,660 points and one minute and forty five seconds on the clock. In this mission, there is only one clam located on the left side of the screen. I recommend ignoring the clam and practicing eating all the small fish in one quick gulp by pressing A which is your fish dash ability. It took me a few tries to get use to it, but I earned a ton of points with the school bonus that is awarded. I ate the small fish when I was small, so you can accomplish this right from the start. At the end of the mission, I ate 172 small fish, 16 yellow fish, and 5 green fish. I also collected 23 clocks. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 6: Barracuda Alert Slogan: Torpedoes with Teeth Description: Rumor has it a deadly barracuda has been terrorizing this part of the ocean! Watch for the early winning signs, and get out the way! How to Play: FEELING LUCKY? Bite the barracuda's tail to score some extra points. But, be careful, he just might bite back! Personal Strategy: At the start of this mission, I had 26,405 points and one minute and ten seconds on the clock. To tell you the complete truth, if you are at this part of the game you are ready to move on and win the game. After this level, it's not necessary for me to say my point or time total, because it's irrelevant. Just make sure you get to Stage 6 with at least this much time on the clock. I've played through time trial mode many times, and have had a lot more time and points when I was at this level, but this is the minimum amount I think is required to go on and win. Here this is one clam on the bottom of the ocean floor. The only thing to watch out for in this level is the barracuda that can eat you. You will see warning signs, and I suggest rising either to the top or the bottom when you see the signs. This level should be a breeze. Feel free to tail bite the barracuda if you want a few extra points. Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 7: Crazy Jellies! Slogan: A la peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich! Description: You've stumbled across a group of roaming jellyfish. They're pretty to look at, but beware their sting! If you touch them, you'll be stunned for a few seconds. And when you're stunned, you're a sitting duck! How to Play: GOLDEN MINNOWS: If you spot a mysterious golden fish, try to catch it! They're fast, but they'll help you grow much more quickly. Personal Strategy: To be perfectly honest, I am starting to repeat myself over and over with my strategy on the levels. There isn't much more strategy to offer after Stage 7, so there is no point in referring to any more personal strategies. If you need any additional help, read the "Personal Tips" section of the guide. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 8: Jelly Jam Slogan: Bonus Stage! Description: Time for another bonus stage! There are a whole lot of Starfish bubbles hidden in this giant group of jellies. How many can you eat before the timer runs out? How to Play: BONUS BUBBLES: Get the Score Multiplier bubbles to double the points for everything you eat. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 9: Hear me Roar! Slogan: Congratulations! Fish Upgrade! Description: Meet Leon the Lion Fish. Leon is a little faster than Andy, which makes him a tougher customer in these deeper waters. How to Play: NEW ABILITY! Now you can suck in other fish! Press X to suck in all the fish in front of you. It takes a few seconds to recharge, so use it wisely. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 10: Gas Bag Slogan: Beware the prickly Puffer Fish! Description: This rocky reef is inhabited by prickly Puffer Fish. These innocent-looking fish can inflate like balloons to protect themselves. How to Play: PUFFER FISH: Don't try to eat an inflated Puffer Fish, no matter how big you are. If you do, you'll bounce and lose some points. Try to be patient! Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 11: Fish Soup Slogan: Nothing like a nice bouillabaisse? Description: It's like an all-you-can-eat minnow buffet here! Too bad the other nearby predators have the same idea. How to Play: NEW POWER-UP! Eat a Flash Bomb bubble to stun all the other fish on the screen for a few seconds! Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 12: A Need for Speed Slogan: Sometimes you need a little boost! Description: The quick-moving schools of Angel Fish are hard to catch. Use the Speed Boost bubbles to catch them before they can get away. How to Play: NEW POWER-UP! Chow down on a Speed Boost bubble for some serious speed. The boost indicator at the top right will flash as the effect starts to wear off. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 13: Fish in a Barrel! Slogan: How many can you get? Description: Another bonus stage! These Angel Fish are moving really fast! Can you eat them all before time runs out? Use the Speed Boost bubbles to help you! How to Play: HINT: Use the Speed boost bubble plus the Fish Dash ability (press A) to chase down quick-moving fish. Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 14: Boom! Slogan: Those pesky humans are dropping stuff on us! Description: Watch out! These waters are filling up with deadly mines that will explode if you swim too close! How to Play: HINT: If you're careful, you can hide behind a mine to protect yourself from a predator that's chasing you. Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 15: Don't Eat the Green Fish! Slogan: Kids' never feed your fish uranium! Description: Some of those poor minnows have eaten hazardous waste, turning them into poisonous mutants! They may look tasty, but don't eat the green fish! How to Play: WATCH OUT FOR MUTANT FISH! Avoid the bright green fish. If you eat one you'll become disoriented! To recover, rapidly tap A until you return to normal. Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 16: Watch What You Eat! Slogan: Bonus Stage! Description: It's another Feeding Frenzy bonus stage! There are lots of fish to eat, but watch out for the sea mines and the poisonous mutant minnows. How to Play: HINT: If you get eaten or killed on a bonus stage, it doesn't cost you a life. So, take some chances and try to clear the stage before the timer runs out. Good luck! Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 17: What's the Angle? Slogan: Congratulations! Fish Upgrade! Description: Meet Eddie the Angler. His small fins make him a little slower, but he has a big bite! Don't forget to press A to suck in schools of fish. How to Play: NEW POWER-UP! Pick up the Fury bubble and go nuts! You'll zip around the screen eating everything in sight! Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 18: Tricky Treasure Slogan: Clam up! Description: The oysters in this part of the reef don't stay open very long. If you're trying to steal their precious treasure you'll have to move fast! How to Play: BLACK PEARLS: The mysterious Black Pearl is five times more valuable than an ordinary white pearl. That will help you grow pretty quickly! Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 19: Six Degrees Slogan: Who's obtuse? Description: The ocean seems to be getting more crowded, and these mines don't help one bit. Be careful out there! How to Play: HINT: The suck ability is especially helpful for Eddie because he's slow. Park yourself near a tasty school of fish, and then take a deep breath! Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 20: A Shell Game Slogan: Bonus Stage! Description: Each oyster has exactly one pearl. Can you collect them all and avoid getting chomped before time runs out? How to Play: SPEED BOOST: This is a perfect place to use your speed boost. Get in, get out, and nobody gets hurt! Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 21: Deep Water Dreams Slogan: A chance encounter Description: What's this? You've lost your way and stumbled into really deep waters! Can you find your way back? It's pretty scary out here! How to Play: TAIL CREDIT: Don't forget that you can bite the tails of some big fish. When you see the hazard sign, get ready to snack! Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 22: Surgeon Crossing Slogan: Is there a doctor in the house? Description: You've reached a surgeon fish crossing! Swim carefully, until you're big enough for a yummy surgeon fish feast! How to Play: OVERCHARGING SURGEONS: Be especially careful when you're near a predator that's feeding on small fish. They tend to speed up when they're lunging for the kill. Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 23: Melting Pot Slogan: One big, happy ecosystem Description: You're passing through one of the busiest sections of the reef. There's a lot going on here, so watch where you're going or you'll end up as fish food. How to Play: NEW POWER-UP! Pick up a Shield bubble to give yourself a protective coating. If you get chomped, you lose the coating but escape unscathed. Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 24: Playing Chicken Slogan: Bonus Stage!

Fish Upgrade! Description: Meet J.D. (a.k.a. John Dory). J.D. is fast and powerful. He should be able to get you as far as the open waters out new Shark Reef. How to Play: THE FOOD CHAIN: You've made it pretty far up the food chain, but the Shark King still sits at the top. Can you unseat him and claim the throne? Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 26: More Mutant Madness Slogan: The alliteration never ends? Description: There are lots of poisonous mutants here. Try not to suck them up as you chow down on the schools of fish. Hunting tuna love to take advantage of disoriented prey. How to Play: HINT: Be sure to keep an eye out for the oysters on the ocean floor. Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 27: Stun, Stun, Stun? Boom! Slogan: Dazed and confused Description: When life gets a little bit hectic, a smart fish looks for the Flash Bomb bubble. This power-up is a potent ally in these mine-infested waters.

Description: Another bonus stage? Can you eat 25 puffer fish before time runs out? Even with the Flash Bomb bubble, it's going to be a bit tricky.

Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 29: Tuna Sashimi Slogan: Pass the wasabi. Description: These deep waters are swarming with sleek, fast tuna, so watch out. Stay out of their way until you've grown large enough, then have a feast! How to Play: HINT: Get 'em while they're fresh! Schools of fish are easiest to catch when they first appear on the screen. Wait too long and they'll scatter. Level Rating: 1 Star (*) Stage 30: Swim and Cover Slogan: Do you know what to do when danger threatens? Description: These are dangerous waters. Watch out for mines from above and jellyfish from below! Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 31: Marlin Madness Slogan: Watch where you point that thing! Description: The marlin is a formidable predator, and these waters are filled with them. How to Play: SHAKE YOUR TAIL: Marlins are known to be quite tenacious.

Each oyster still has exactly one pearl, but this time it's a bit trickier. You have to eat all the pearls AND all the puffer fish before time runs out. Can you do it? How to Play: GREAT PROGRESS! You've come far since your minnow-munching days! You just might have what it takes to defeat the Shark King! Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 33: Killer Instinct Slogan: Congratulations! Fish Upgrade! Description: Meet Orville the Orca! At last you've left the reef and reached the vast, open water. It's beautiful out here, but deadly, too. This is the home of the great white shark!

Be careful, or you just might end up that way too! How to Play: JELLYFISH ARE FRIENDS? Jellyfish pack a mean sting, but they can be useful. Hide behind them and use them to shield you from predators. Their sting affects even the biggest fish! Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 36: Barracuda Buffet Slogan: Bonus Stage! Description: Remember all the trouble those barracuda gave you back in the reef? Well, it's payback time. A school of barracuda sounds like a Bonus Stage snack, doesn't it? How to Play: HINT: Grab a Feeding Fury bubble to chow down and save some precious time. You get bonus points for any time left over at the end of a Bonus Stage. Level Rating: 2 Stars (**) Stage 37: Merry Go Round Slogan: And the fishes go round, and round, and?

Now, go online to check the Leader Boards, and try to beat your Friends' high scores! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 6. Personal Tips -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Feeding Frenzy is a game that can be beaten in a day or so. The problem that many people have with the Time Trial mode is that they get worried about the time remaining which causes them to get a bit jittery. With that said, I find it best to move your fish as slow as possible. I tend to stay in the middle of the screen, so I can see sharks or bigger fish from a distance. By staying in the middle of the screen, I find it easier to maneuver in dangerous situations. Also, I always go for pearls, no matter the situation. Before going for the pearl though, I make sure I witnessed the clam open. If I didn't see the clam open, I will not go after the pearl inside. Another strategy I use is I avoid using my fish's special ability. I find it to do more harm than good in situations. The only reason I would ever use the special ability is to gulp up a large group of minnows for the school bonus. Even when I encounter that, I usually gulp them up by pressing "A" instead. There isn't much else I can tell you about how I play the game. Slow and steady wins the race in my opinion, and I believe everyone can finish the Time Attack! Mode with little trouble. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Having trouble with obtaining the achievements? Have a question that you can't find anywhere else in the guide? Well, you're at the right spot! Question: How in the world do you get the 1,000 shark achievement? Answer: The best way to get the 1,000 shark eaten achievement is to go on Normal Mode and move right to Level 37. Use all your lives on that level right before you are going to die. Eat the sharks over and over and after awhile you'll have the achievement. Question: Why level 37, why not level 40? Answer: Level 37 is by far the easiest level with the most sharks. For some odd reason, Level 40 will not count for your shark total. Question: How do I earn the 300,000 point achievement? Answer: Simply go through Normal Mode tail biting. Though this may be a bit lame, if you tail bite over and over you should have the achievement in no time. Question: What is tail biting? Answer: When you see the warning sign of a big fish coming to eat you, simply swim behind him and bite his tail. Do this over and over and you will earn points at a very quick rate. If you keep tail biting the same fish, your points will multiply. This is essential in order to rack up points quickly. Question: Whoa...40,000 points in the food bank? Is that in one sitting? Answer: Sadly, Time Attack mode does not count in the food bank, so you must focus all your attention in Normal Mode. The best level to gather up the most fish is level 21. The score is cumulative, so feel free to turn off the game and continue this long achievement at a later time. Question: The 10 hour achievement. Is that in one sitting? Answer: No, you can turn off your Xbox at anytime and it will still remember how long you've played the game. If you want to cheat on this achievement, simply finish a level and leave the controller sitting there. Do not press anything. This will get the achievement for you. Do not press "Start" though, or you won't get credit. Question: How do you get the Frenzy Fanatic Achievement? Answer: Simply have around 9,000 fish in your food bank and you will be rewarded with this achievement. Question: Do you use your special ability a lot? Answer: No, I find it pointless. Question: Where can I get this game? Answer: In the Xbox 360 arcade. Question: I like the demo, can I unlock achievements while playing the demo? Answer: No, you need the full version to unlock the achievements. Question: Thanks for the guide. Is there any way I can donate to you? Answer: Yes, simply paypal gromzzz@gmail.com for any donations. I would really appreciate it. I hope this answers every question you may have about Feeding Frenzy.
