The Press Says

Interesting story for a party game. It goes a little something like this: sometime in the future cities have become intense battlegrounds for dangerous games played by people of all ages. What's the goal? To prove who's the best. Televised worldwide, the tournaments have become almost an obsession, and each zone of the world has sent the best of their best to bring glory and honor to their home. This game brings back memories of the old days, when you could walk into a room where people are playing a video game, and having no knowledge of the game itself, can immeadiatly play.
This is an excellent multiplayer title. Please keep an open mind about this “party” game. However, once you look past the seemingly innocent façade, you will find yourself tossed around the proverbial meat grinder. It almost feels like a futuristic American Gladiators, only hopped up on goofballs.

Is Fuzion Frenzy the best party game ever? Well, not exactly, but it comes quite close to that title with its large arsenal of cleverly designed games. In fact, the only real stumbling blocks on its way to being the Super Star is the lack of customization options. While you can play the mini-games separately or in a tournament, there’s no way to specify a tournament structure or in any way modify the list of possible games. Players who enjoy the more esoteric trappings of Mario Party‘s style will be equally disappointed, since there are absolutely no breaks between the mini-games and no three on one situations. These quibbles aside, Fuzion Frenzy manages to be an extremely fun party game for four, which is an impressive feat since neither Sega nor Sony seem to have been able to put together this quality of games together in their respective offerings.
Just the fact that this game has such variety in a limited genre is more than enough reason to give this game a spin. It’s interesting to see how they jazzed up party gaming. You will have such a rush beating your friends. Even when most party games suffer from a stingy one player mode, Fuzion Frenzy offers an entertaining game for those of us without any friends (such as myself).

While there’s not much ground-breaking to the game, it offers up exactly what it advertises, a whole lot of multiplayer fun!
Au Backe! Ob ausgerechnet Fuzion Frenzy dafür sorgen wird, vier Leute für längere Zeit vor der Xbox zum Spielen zu versammeln, wage ich zu bezweifeln. Die Idee, bekannte Spielprinzipien in ein modernes Gewand zu packen und Party-tauglich zu gestalten, ist an sich löblich. Doch die Umsetzung wirkt einfach zu uninspiriert, die Spiele (bis auf zu wenige Ausnahmen) wiederholen sich vom Ansatz her zu häufig und werden selbst mit vier Spielern auf Dauer ziemlich eintönig. Dass die Grafik keine Bäume ausreißt wäre ja noch zu verschmerzen, wenn es wenigstens vom Spielspaß her stimmen würde. Doch diese Hoffnung löst sich relativ schnell in Luft auf. Wenn Ihr unbedingt zu viert (oder gar noch mehr Spielern) spielen wollt, versammelt lieber ein paar Zocker um Halo und fraggt um die Wette.

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.
When it comes to sitting shoulder to shoulder with some of your friends, Fuzion Frenzy is a passable alternative to having to teach a new player how all the buttons work in Halo. But since it doesn't have much long-term appeal, think of this as a brief mindless place to occasionally visit.
Game Informer Magazine
Fuzion Frenzy is mindless fun. In a genre laden with excrement like Mario Party and Sonic Shuffle, I fancy FF to be tops of the minigame-fests – though that isn't saying much.
Consoles Plus
Le problème, c'est que ce titre manque de diversité. Toutes les épreuves sont plus ou moins les mêmes. On tourne en rond et l'on s'ennuie ferme au bout de 20 minutes.
Game Informer Magazine
Fuzion Frenzy is alright, but not to the tune of $50. If you like this type of game and can get it cheap, though, you'll find it a fair way to pass the time with your buds.
Game Revolution
Remember pong? Well, that game's gameplay owns Fusion Frenzy on every level. I can understand that some people really like to play family/party games like Monopoly, Trivial pursuit, … but this game has some nasty features that just demoralize you from start to finish.
Bref, pour résumer, Fuzion Frenzy fait parti des mauvais titres de la Xbox. Sauf si bien sûr vous êtes un inconditionnel des Party Games et que vous voulez absolument compléter votre collection, nous ne pouvons que vous déconseiller l'achat de ce jeu. Surtout que si vous voulez en profiter pleinement, il faudra obligatoirement ouvrir le portefeuille et investir dans quelques manettes supplémentaires. Mieux vaut garder votre argent pour un titre qui en vaille vraiment la peine.
Vorsicht Schrott. Fuzion Frenzy braucht bei dem guten Start-Lineup der Xbox wirklich niemand. Zu fast jedem der Spiele findet man im Internet ein um Welten besseres Shareware-Game. Wenn es unbedingt ein Spiel sein muss, das man zu viert zocken möchte, sollte man lieber auf RalliSport Challenge oder eines der Sportspiele zurückgreifen.
