Fuzion Frenzy
It?s Fuzion! It?s Frenzy! It?s Fuzion Frenzy!
Following safely in the footsteps of Mario Party and Crash Bash, Fuzion Frenzy eliminates the board game elements in favor of straight randomly-chosen mini-games. There?s some story about how it?s the future and people are forced to play mini-games to survive, but that?s all beside the point. You?ll engage three amigos (or play against the computer if you?re a hermit with no friends) in mini-games that range from capturing orbs and putting them somewhere to capturing orbs and putting them somewhere else. There are over 45 mini-games, but for some reason, the Xbox enjoys playing the same ones over and over. This is a bad thing when most of the games aren?t deep enough to survive repetitive play.
Still, with a bunch of friends, Fuzion is fun. Good but unspectacular graphics and above-average sounds almost forgive the simple-but-clunky controls. Fuzion Frenzy lacks the personality of the plumber or the bandicoot, but it?ll do.
