Shipping this week: just Europe edition
Boy, if we didn't know that Crackdown was coming next week, we'd be just about ready to give up on our beloved 360. There is only one game releasing for the Xbox 360 this week ... in the entire world. Yup, this week it's Europe's turn to shine. Before our friends across the Atlantic get all giddy and smarmy, you should know that all you're getting is Fuzion Frenzy 2. Still, if you're starving for some minigame action, you can't do much better than Fuzion Frenzy 2 (of course, you don't have much of a choice).Just one more week, friends. Then, then we get some sweet Crackdown action (there's also a beta on it or something).
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.
Fuzion Frenzy 2 is a Gamerscore goldmine
Xbox 360 Achievements has uncovered the achievements for the upcoming Fuzion Frenzy 2, the sequel to the original Xbox party game. It's good news for Gamerscore whores, as the achievements look fairly simple and the point rewards are high. Seriously, there are only 2 achievements worth less than 50 points. There are 14 achievements in all. 2 of them are worth 25 points, 7 worth 50, 3 worth 100, and 2 worth 150. The achievements are rewarded for finishing the game as each character, winning online games, and unlocking minigames. It doesn't look like any of them are particularly difficult. Hell, only one of them requires you to win more than one online game. So, if you're a Gamerscore fanatic, Fuzion Frenzy looks like it could be your new best friend. That is unless we're completely wrong and the game is as tough as nails. Given that it's from the same people that gave the world Mario Party, we'd say the chances of that are slim.See also:

Fuzion Frenzy 2 release date confirmed
Bluntly put, the one genre that the Xbox 360's game library lacks is party games and as most of us know, Fuzion Frenzy 2 is Microsoft's answer to filling that deep void. Initially, Fuzion Frenzy 2 was set to release by the end of 2006, but that will not be happening because Planet Xbox 360 is reporting that the official release date for Fuzion Frenzy 2 will be January 30th, 2007. I'm such a Fuzion Frenzy fanboy ever since the original came out as a launch title for the Xbox, so if you haven't noticed I'm a little giddy with excitement for January to roll around. Oh joy!
3... 2... 1... new Fuzion Frenzy 2 screens
If you know me, you know that I love a good party game and that's why I'm frothing at the mouth anticipating the release of Fuzion Frenzy 2. And good news, today TeamXbox got their hands on some new screenshots of Microsoft Game Studio's little party game. Be sure to check out the new screenshots after the jump. I played the demo when it was released on the XBLM a while back and it seemed to stay true to that the original Fuzion Frenzy. And how about the remake of Twisted System? It's totally extreme to the max dude!
More Fuzion Frenzy 2 maps, games revealed
Microsoft continues to assail us with images and descriptions of the games in Fuzion Frenzy 2. You may remember from our last batch of screens that FF2's games are divided among different planets, each with its own theme. This week's shots come from the water themed planet, Moisture, and the casino themed planet, Amuseth. The game pictured above is Over the Falls, which requires players to push the appropriate button to jump to the next log, or else get swept (you guessed it) over the falls. See more images and game descriptions after the break.
