Farm Frenzy 1

Run your own successful farm

sees you assume the role of a budding farmer who starts with nothing and must build a successful business by managing lifestock and producing goods to export for money.

The game is set in a wonderfully colorful cartoon world with great sound effects and a cracking hillbilly-style soundtrack. If you've ever dreamed of moving to the country and living the simple life, then Farm Frenzy might give you a taste of what you can expect.

Farm Frenzy starts with you rearing a few chickens to produce some eggs and the levels progress to the point where you own bakeries, factories and keep cows, pigs and other animals. Each extra level adds one more thing to think about than the last, whether it's shipping products into town, flying resources in by plane, or caging and selling the pandas (?!) that prey on your animals. After a few levels the action in Farm Frenzy can get pretty frantic.

Luckily, the controls in Farm Frenzy are simple and largely require nothing more than pointing and clicking on a part of the screen you want to apply an action to (i.e. clicking the well to fill it up, clicking an egg to collect it, etc.)

After a while, Farm Frenzy starts to get a little too difficult to keep up with and after playing a few levels your head gets a bit scrambled from all the fast-paced action, the infectious looping soundtrack and the sheer repetitive nature of the game.

Farm Frenzy is very well presented and great fun to play, although enjoyment quickly turns to frustration as the levels get more hectic .
