Summary

[Xbox Live Arcade] Slurp, gulp, and crunch your way all along the Frenzy Coast in Feeding Frenzy! The rules here are simple: Eat anything that's smaller than you and swim clear of everything else. The more you eat, the bigger you get, and the bigger you get, the closer you come to taking on the fearsome Shark King. Starfish bubbles don't help you grow, but they’re an easy way to boost your score. Oysters offer up bonus points in the form of pearls, but be quick or the shell could snap shut with you inside! Nibbling on the tail of a patrolling barracuda is a risky way to earn extra points—he can turn on you in an instant. And the jellyfish - well, it's best to swim clear of them altogether. Did you know that tuna can swim up to 50 miles per hour? Or that a parrot fish can change its gender? Feeding Frenzy includes more than four dozen fascinating fish facts like these - one between each game level. [Xbox.com]

The action gets fast and frantic, and that's what keeps you interested and engrossed.

Official Xbox Magazine

An impressively fun merger of colorful undersea graphics and gameplay standards from the arcade's yesteryears make this one-player treat a name that's hard to stop nibbling on. [Jun 2006, p.62]

Detroit Free Press

It does seem a little pricey for single-player filet feasting, but it's also very addictive.

Feeding Frenzy is an easy going and stress free game that is perfect for wasting some time.

A rare breed of game that anyone can pick up and play. [Issue#6, p.120]

VGPub

Overall, FF is a nice little diversion that is fun to play in little 10 to 15 minute spurts. The only way I can recommend Feeding Frenzy for its $10 asking price is if you really like these addictive little gobble fests.

TeamXbox

The game is relatively easy, and even with the additional challenges that pop up in each round, most will have no problem breezing through the game. Still, the experience is fun while it lasts.

IGN

With such simplistic mechanics, meager challenge and lack of game modes, it's difficult to recommend spending your Microsoft Points on this one. It's got a sense of humor for sure, but in the face of many more robust and engaging XBLA titles, Feeding Frenzy falls short.

GameSpot

Eat your heart out in this undersea action game, in which you guide a fish around as it swallows up anything smaller. Fun, simple gameplay makes this one a fine if brief diversion.

It's a hard one to call; the childlike simplicity and design will be gobbled up by a lot of people, but this reviewer isn't one of them and I know my editor isn't either!

It’s definitely a fun game for a couple of hours, but after that you’re probably done with it.

There are three great hours here of simple underwater fish munching fun. [Issue #16, p.77]

Game Chronicles

As full as the ocean can be, this ocean is a little shallow - it’s more like a tide pool. The gameplay is there for the most part, but it’s just a little too generic and mundane to excite most people.

GameShark

A fun game that could have been a very good one had there been multiplayer modes, an extra difficulty level and more challenge.

Xbox Evolved

Feeding Frenzy looks nice, plays simple, but has very little variety.

Eurogamer

Microsoft's Live Arcade offerings are generally well worth the asking price, but Feeding Frenzy, sadly, isn't one of them.
