You can choose to set the win limit anywhere between two and five planets, though that doesn't really determine the actual length of your game. The competition then moves on to the planet of the winner's choosing, and it goes on like this until one player reaches a predetermined number of planets won. The tournament mode is structured so that you'll go to a planet and play a number of minigames, earning points based on how you perform, and the player with the highest score at the end of the round effectively wins that planet. There's elemental stuff like the ice planet, the lava planet, and the water planet, as well as the machine planet, the casino planet, a black-hole planet, and good ol' Earth. In the tournament mode, there are seven different planets, each with an obvious theme and a unique set of minigames associated with it. The tournament mode, which has been halfheartedly made to seem like an intergalactic gameshow, serves as the primary gameplay mode in Fuzion Frenzy 2. The minigames are usually pretty intuitive and are preempted with a succinct explanation before they start though, if you're still not sure what's going on, you can opt for a practice round before you commit. There are definitely some repeats, but they still cover a good range of game types, with the button mashers and the games that test raw reaction times being the most enjoyable. You'll also have to outrun giant waves of lava, ride around on a variety of crazy robots, dodge giant pinballs, and more. There are callbacks to the original Fuzion Frenzy as you roll around in giant American Gladiator balls trying to bump each other off a shrinking platform attempt to bludgeon each other with gigantic hammers or run circles around a giant rotating platter while ducking under and jumping over laser beams. The quality of games like this is usually dictated by the quality of their minigames, and Fuzion Frenzy 2 has a good selection that doesn't vary too much in quality. The only reason the title Fuzion Frenzy 2 makes any sense is that it's the sequel to Fuzion Frenzy.įuzion Frenzy 2 is essentially a collection of minigames that, on their own, will have a pretty familiar feel to anyone who's spent time with the original Fuzion Frenzy or any other similar party games. Perhaps more importantly, Fuzion Frenzy 2 strips away a lot of the arbitrary reversals of fortune that have turned the Mario Party franchise into a bit of a game of chance. The presentation can be generic and awkward at times, but the 40-plus minigames included are pretty varied and fun. Fuzion Frenzy 2 doesn't brim with recognizable mascot characters as the Mario Party games do instead, it opts for a clumsy gameshow theme that features one of the most irritating in-game voice-overs in recent memory. Rather than try to emulate the successful Mario Party franchise as it did with the original Fuzion Frenzy, Microsoft has gone straight to the source for Fuzion Frenzy 2, having recruited Hudson itself to develop this Xbox 360 party-game sequel. Aside from its own Bomberman franchise, Japanese developer Hudson is probably most well known in recent years for developing the Mario Party games for Nintendo.
