Feeding Frenzy is a fun little arcade action game about undersea Darwinism. What you do in it is eat any fish thats smaller than you are, simply by guiding your fish around a small 2D area teeming with undersea life--and occasional explosive mines as well as pearl-bearing oysters, for good measure. Power-ups temporarily speed you up and freeze all other fish in place, helping to keep things interesting. The two modes of play let you munch through several dozen stages either against the clock or not. The games slippery feel fits the setting well, and your fish has a couple of abilities: It can lunge forward or vacuum up anything in front of it at the touch of a button.
Theres always fresh fish on the menu in Feeding Frenzy, a short-lived but compelling little action game.
The games graphics are simple, crisp, and colorful, especially in HD, and its satisfying to watch your fish grow bigger and bigger during the course of one of Feeding Frenzys brief levels. The chomping noises and upbeat soundtrack fit the game well, and the cartoony look makes this one suitable for Finding Nemo fans of all ages.
Feeding Frenzy might not have what it takes to keep you coming back for more, but it provides simple, addictive fun for an hour or two. A dozen unlockable achievements and online leaderboards entice you to play through the main modes and then to stick around for a while to accomplish some tougher challenges. At about $20, the price of admission is a little steep for this one, but youll find it to be a nice, mindless diversion if you give it a shot.
