Gameplay

In Feeding Frenzy, players control a hungry marine predator intent on munching as many other fish as possible. During the course of the game's 40 levels, you will switch off between 5 marine animals. The last level is where you attempt to dethrone a large shark, the "Shark King", using Orville the Orca. The player takes on the role of different aquatic species each trying to move up the food chain. As smaller fish are eaten, the player's own fish grows in size and becomes capable of eating somewhat larger fish. By the end of each level, the fish is sufficiently large enough that it can eat almost anything on-screen. Players must be vigilant for hazards which include depth charges, larger predators, naval mines, radiation-poisoned fish, and jellyfish.

If the player eats a sufficiently large number of fish in a short period of time, a score-enhancing Feeding Frenzy is initiated. If the player continues to rapidly consume other fish, a further Double Frenzy can be achieved. These both end when a short period of time without further rapid consumption elapses.

The full game includes both a normal mode and a "time attack" mode.

Creatures

Playable

  • Andy - The first playable fish. He is an Annularis Angelfish. His only ability is a quick dash, or burst of speed.
  • Leon - The second playable fish. He is an orange Lionfish. While playing as Leon, you unlock the suck ability.
  • Eddie - The third playable fish. He is an Anglerfish. The creators made a mistake in saying Eddie was a male, as only females grow that size, possess a lure, and live that lifestyle.
  • J.D. - The fourth playable fish. He is a John Dory.
  • Orville - The fifth and last playable character. He is an orca. He is also the only mammal in the entire game (playable and prey).

Reception

A review by IGN criticized the title's simple mechanics and overall lack of depth, resulting in a score of 6.6 out of 10 for the Xbox 360 version. The review suggested that additional online elements could have helped with the title's otherwise limited lasting appeal. The TeamXbox review also commented negatively about the game's difficulty and replayability, suggesting that it may be better suited towards children. Nonetheless, despite being somewhat shallow, TeamXbox concluded that the game was still accessible and fun, awarding the Xbox 360 version a 7 out of 10.
