Game Review: Farm Frenzy

Part arcade game part management simulation, Farm Frenzy combines elements from games like Alice Greenfingers and Cake Mania to create a fast-paced and entertaining foray into farm administration. It lets you slip into a pair of coveralls and play "Old MacDonald" with a bit of a business twist. The result is some egg-ceptional down-on-the-farm goodness.

In its singular mode of play, Farm Frenzy serves up over 45 levels of action-heavy management as you learn how to run a farm. From tending cows in the fields to gathering eggs for sale at the market to upgrading your structures and equipment to protecting your livestock from obtrusive predators, Farm Frenzy simulates "real farming" without the attendant aromas. And, while you have just five animals to look after, nine products to sell and six buildings to purchase, it's more involved than it sounds.

Basics of gameplay are simple. Clicking on the ground makes grass grow. Animals then eat the grass and produce goods such as eggs, wool and milk. These goods are gathered in your storehouse and sent to town for sale or processed to create other goods. Simple, right? Well, not entirely.

It wouldn't be a game without obstacles to success. As in the real world, everything has a price. To grow grass you need water and to produce goods you need animals, and each come at a cost. You also need to build and upgrade structures to grow, process and transport your goods. These include wells, cars, storehouses, egg solids plants, bakeries and spinneries. Goods sold increase your funds, allowing you to purchase more animals, as well as build and upgrade structures. Yes, it's capitalism, but it's fun, too...

The game is played in one mode only where you are presented with your playing field at first.

There's an area for you to plant some grass for your animals; a well to get water for planting; place for the future egg solids plant or bakery or something else. In the very beginning you are given a goose that needs grass and gives eggs.

At the upper right corner you can check your task for the level. It is usually to collect a required number of eggs or cakes or coins or geese, for example.

There's a store house at the bottom of the screen. Whatever you collect goes right there. Once it's full, you are to send a car with whatever you want to a city to sell it and get some money...

FARM FRENZY is fantastic farm fun!!! Definitely a family-friendly game everyone can enjoy! Download Farm Frenzy Seriously, I am already addicted to this fabulous game. It is a multi-level game with top-notch, bright, cheerful, quality graphics. I was in a better mood instantly when I started playing. I believe this game is a definite mood-lifter and stress-reducer for anyone who plays it. And isn't that what we all need nowadays - something cheerful and fun to brighten our days in this hectic life? It's a great way to escape our problems for a while. I loved it! Take my advice and give it a try. Download Farm Frenzy If you like FARM 51, as I do, you will definitely love FARM FRENZY. There are a few similarities, such as buying animals for the farm, having your farm produce things to sell in town/the city, earning money to upgrade your farm, etc. However, the similarities are not so alike that it makes it seem like the same game. Not at all!! This one is created in such a way that it is a whole new world of farm fun! You start out being greeted by fun screens filled with eye-catching graphics and a happy soundtrack playing in the background. Of course, there are sound and music options you can adjust if you wish...

If there is a game that compels the kids to sing, “Old MacDonald had a farm” repeatedly, Farm Frenzy is it. Its fun, colorful, and cartoon-style graphics easily catches the attention of my sons ages four and eight. For me, the game keeps me up late as I’m keen on earning at least a silver star in every spot as I work my way around town.

Those who have played Chicken Chase can’t help but recognize the similarities between the two games. I enjoyed Chicken Chase, but I like this one better because it has more variety and the Farm Frenzy’s bears are less annoying than the Chase’s ravens. I also don’t feel as panicky around the bears. Those ravens just made me nuts.

Every level of the 45-plus level game contains goals to meet to conquer the level and move on up to the next. Do it fast, and you can earn a gold or a silver star. What is just ducky about this one is that you can’t lose. If you take too long completing the goals, you simply don’t get bonuses or stars and you can move on. That’s one of the things about the casual game industry — it’s not always about winning — it’s about having fun and challenging yourself to earn stars and trophies...
