Fuzion Frenzy 2 this Christmas News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

28 July, 2006

Microsoft's announced Fuzion Frenzy 2 for Xbox 360.

Like the Xbox 1 game it follows up, it's a mini-game compilation, and it's due out this Christmas in Europe.

Developed by Hudson rather than original scribes Blitz Games, it'll aim to combine interesting mini-games and party-styled tournament modes with online multiplayer.

Players will move between seven different planets tackling mini-games, like "Super Slam Dunk" - a low-gravity mini basketball game.

You'll also use "tournament cards", which can be used to advance the game and choose the next mini-game, among other things not made utterly clear by the press release.

There'll be 40 mini-games in total. Besides Super Slam Dunk, we're also told about Collision Collusion and Turbine Jumper. The names anyway - goodness knows how they work.

This isn't the first time Fuzion Frenzy 2's been bandied about, incidentally. Back in March 2004 a US retailer got a bit excited and claimed a sequel was on the way for the original Xbox with Live support. The original game predated Microsoft's online service.

Never got around to buying the first one. I always sort of liked the idea but the reviewers kept yelling to leave it on the shelf, so I did. I think the 360 would welcome a good online party game.

Oh and how I wish for Kung Fu Chaos 2 but they went off to make Heavenly Sword so thats a non starter.

Kung Fu Chaos sold something like three copies worldwide. I'd love to check it out, but I never even saw it on the shelves.

Hudson are doing the truelly awful looking Bomberman zero(Or whatever it's called) I am not expecting a lot.

Back on the Kung Fu chaos line, the later stages of that game gave my anger a real work out with some really teeth itchingly annoying fights..But I never once thought to stop playing (A bit like Ninja Gaiden). PS3 owners are in for a treat with Heavenly Sword, Just Add Monsters know the craft of infuriatingly addictive gameplay.

Bomberman Zero is a piss-take, though.

Hudson were involved with the first one, too.

I can't wait - there's a drinking game attached to the first one... Er...

Interesting. Would have thought it might do better business as an Arcade title though. There's a chance that it might die at retail. Of course, I hope I'm wrong.

What? 40 minigames for 4 € a pop? ;) On the other hand, with the XBLm, this could be very entertaining.

The first Fuzion Frenzy ROCKED! I don't know much about Hudson but I know they're not Blitz... :(

KFC was ace too. Sounds like I'm the only one who bought / enjoyed both

Fuzion Frenzy always felt like a poor man's Mario Party to me. The minigames, while numerous, are generally not very fun.

That said, the game generally appeals to the casual gaming crowd, and I can't say I'm part of that demographic - I need a bit more depth than 'push the butan'.
