There is also a custom game mode that allows you to create your own tournament of mini games or just a simple series of games. I could see if you actually had a party how this mode would be interesting, but in single player mode it's passable.

When you have had your fair share of single player mode, there is an online mode with all the options available in single player mode. This way you can trick your friends into getting a copy and playing against you online. Online the game truly becomes torture, as you cannot skip through any of the video sequences, which means you get to listen to everything Mr. Pink Pants has to say - you get to hear it over and over and over again.

There are 14 achievements in the game, and minus the online ones, they are a simple affair. Basically beat all the single player modes and you will get 90 percent of the achievements completed. The rest are online and you need a human team of four people to get most of them. It took me around 45 minutes to get a team of four people together and around four hours of straight playing online to get the achievements.

Hopefully the sales of Fuzion Frenzy 2 will suffer enough that someone has the good sense to say enough is enough, but stranger things have happened. After all, how many Mario Parties have there been?

Fuzion Frenzy 2 is rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and older) by the ESRB for Fantasy Violence.
