Farm Frenzy Review

Written by: Cynthia Roubique Published: February 5, 2008 Sure, old McDonald had a farm, but wouldn't you like to have one, too? Now you can, thanks to Alawar Entertainment. They've just released Farm Frenzy, which is part arcade game and part management simulation. The arcade aspect of the game involves watering crops, feeding animals and collecting produce. The simulation part of Farm Frenzy is just as straightforward. As you gather milk, for example, it's stored on racks at the bottom of the screen. When you're ready to sell, a truck drives the cartons to market. You can use the money you earn to buy more water for your crops, construct new buildings or upgrade the structures you have. On each of the game's 45 levels, you'll need to collect a certain amount of produce and build or upgrade your buildings. A counter at the top of the screen shows what you need and how long you have to get it. The more ducks you have laying eggs, for example, the quicker you can collect the produce you need. Farm Frenzy might be too hectic for young children, so play with them. You'll have a lot of laughs together. I had loads of fun playing Farm Frenzy, and I believe you will, too, so give it a try! With great graphics and music, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you see and hear the farm. Just be glad you don't smell the odors that go with it!
