Fuzion Frenzy 2 gets reviewed and spit on

TeamXbox received an early copy of Fuzion Frenzy 2 and decided to pull an all-nighter reviewing the party game goodness. They came away less than impressed, giving it an overall score of 6.6. But we have to ask, why? We have yet to get our hands on the game, but after looking at why they gave it such a horrible score it doesn't look justifiable. 6.5 in the gameplay category because they felt that "eighty percent of the included games are fun. The other twenty percent are just plain difficult to play and uninteresting" ... that equates to an 8.0 in our ratings book. We're thinking that if you liked the original Fuzion Frenzy then the sequel will more than satisfy your party game hunger. Make the jump for the review, but we're holding off our judgments until we get some hands on time.

I was also skeptical of this review. A 6.6 is pretty harsh. The original was great, and I really enjoyed the demo of Fuzion Frenzy 2.

I'm getting it tomorrow.

This really does not surprise me... I don't quite understand why they bothered making a sequel.

Well, 1UP gave it a 5.2. So, TeamXbox actually gave it a good review.

The original got spat on as well. According to gamerankings.com FF2 is rated slightly higher than it's prequel.

I think FF1 was highly underrated and it looks like FF2 will be too. I know I'll be buying this game and playing the crap out of it. -Yay!

How many Mario Party's are there? Fuzion Frenzy is like a Mario Party for a more mature audience. It's a series that thrives on sequels. I mean how many times can you play the same mini game over and over?
