Review of Feeding Frenzy 2 for XBLA and Pc by Protomario
26Nom nom nom!
As in Feeding Frenzy, players have to control several fast growing marine predators who are out to uncover a mystery which is lurking in the ocean. The aim of the game is to avoid predators and obstacles while eating other smaller fish and creatures, eventually reaching the top of the food chain. Feeding Frenzy 2 includes 60 new levels which feature scenery such as new underwater worlds, coral reefs, deep sea caves, and sunken ships, as well as above water challenges. The story mode starts the player as a small butterfly fish named Boris. The player has to eat and chomp his or her way to the top of the food chain. Along the way, the player meets new creatures, both friendly and unfriendly.
The animals which the player controls have special abilities, although these are generally quite similar to those in the previous title. They include a "dash" maneuver for a quick burst of speed, the ability to "suck up" a large school of fish all at once, as well as an ability which allows the character Edie to light up her way.
The game features power-ups which can be used to gain instantaneous or short term effects. These include older power-ups from the previous game, as well as completely new ones.
In some levels the player will be able to jump out of the water, catching several insects and bugs which wander near the surface. In the air, the player can use an ability which sucks a number of insects at the same time. The player can also do back flips to gain more style points, while a failed attempt will result in a belly flop.Also some are just in the middle waters of the ocean and are like midnights zones only the giant difference is it has light.
The player will also come across several "Midnight Zones". During these levels Edie the anglerfish's illuminating lure will be used to light the player's way. However, eventually the power of her illuminating lure will decrease. Hence, Edie has to hunt for bioluminescent plankton to increase the lighted area of the level. A bulb icon power-up can be eaten for instant full screen illumination.
