For example, chickens lay eggs, sheep produce wool and cows produce milk. Once the player buys an animal, the animal starts eating grass and dropping goods for the player to pick up. A well with a limited capacity supplies the water and costs money to refill. To raise animals, the player must regularly water the grass they eat. Platforms: Windows Phone 7.The goal in a Farm Frenzy game is to raise animals, process the goods they produce and sell the products for cash.

It feels like an extra level pack on the original game, with all the same brickbats and bouquets. There are more levels, but there is a tiny sense of deja vu if you've played before. It's a little harder, but it's a little less fresh and original. The first title picked up a score of 82%, and I'm going to be horribly predictable and give Pizza Party the same score. That means that the same attraction has carried over to Pizza Party. I'm still not sure what changed in my attitude to Farm Frenzy, but something did. A very personal problem, and one that I did get over relatively quickly, but it made the game a little less accessible to start with, although having a new Farm Frenzy title was more than enough to get over that hump. I had my own mental names for what was being made, and they don't match with the names in Pizza Party (really, those little slicy things are 'curd' and not 'Kraft cheesy slices'? Who'd have thought.). I don't mind the different look in the menu system and splash screens, but the produce items have a subtly different look - it's more mature and less cartoony, and on the smaller screened Windows Phone devices I found them slightly harder to tell apart.Īlso, these produce items are now named in the game. One of the few awkward things about the title is that the graphics are slightly changed. That's not the case here, you'll need to be very careful when to buy goods and ship them to your farm. Then it was a case of you could just order as needed and it wouldn't make a huge different to the time it took to complete a level. This makes better use of the aircraft and purchasing system that was present in Farm Frenzy. While many of the ingredients for making pizza can be made on your farm, you'll be able to fly in more items to build up a number of different types of pizza, and sell these on at a very nice profit. Like a good sequel, this title does have a little bit more than what had came before - and of course the clue is in the title. It's more of the same, but with more challenge for the experienced player (albeit with a good learning curve if this is the first title you have played a Farm Frenzy title). But it's the increase in the difficulty in the gold time that makes Pizza Party a worthy sequel. The silver time is relatively easy if you are smart (and unless you make some disastrous errors, the basic 'pass' time so you can advance to the next level is not that hard). Pizza Party ups the difficulty here from the first Farm Frenzy title on Windows Phone, with a much more punishing time limit to get gold. If you want the gold award, you're going to have to work out the most efficient way of completing the level. Although most levels will require a combination of these goals.Įach level also has a number of time limits. That could be the production of a specific number of items (for example five eggs or ten packs of bacon), having purchased a certain number of livestock (twenty dairy cows), or amassed a specific fortune by selling produce. You only have a limited amount of time to reach the goals of each level. You still have a farm to manage, and as you gather eggs, milk, beef, and other produce from your livestock, you can either take them to market to sell them, or build factories to process the foods into something more valuable, assuming you have the time to spare.įarm Frenzy is played against the clock. Like any good sequel, Pizza Party does not change the formula of the original too much. And while it's not an XBox Live title, the 'sidequel' 'Pizza Party' is available as a standalone title in the Windows Store. Once I had burned through the levels, I was looking for more. Well, six months later, on a whim I downloaded the app again, and it hooked me. When I first reviewed Farm Frenzy on Windows Phone, I found that the XBox Live title was very addictive, but it seemed to be missing a little something that kept me coming back.
