Sing the joys of Feeding Frenzy

Oh how i'm loving this little arcade game off of Live. I've almost at least made it to the King Shark, I'm in Orville's missions now and reigning down death and destruction on the barracudas that tormented me in earlier levels.

I think i can eventually take Dusters high score - now Chirottweiler has a score i cant imagaine i will be touching.

Meh, the game is ok but not as good as Hexic/Zuma. Its really easy and short, as it takes about 30mins to beat. All I have to do is eat 1000 sharks and play for 10hrs and I am done with all the achievements. The only 'hard' thing to do is get a decent score, which consistes of dying on purpose all the time to replay some of the level...not fun. Still, It is better than some games like Bejeweled 2 and Bankshot Billiards.

To each there own really i guess and i will agree the achievements are somewhat easy to get but aren't most of these arcade games just a competition for a high score?

Hexic i think is the worst of the lot. I couldn't play more than 15 minutes of that without being bored to tears.

Hexic is awesome.

I agree the FF is too short/easy, and it's too easy to accidenly die because the camera doesn't keep you in the center of the screen.

I think the game is fun as hell. I'm still trying to get into the top 20 for points on both game modes. The game isn't hard, but it's somewhat challenging to do your very best and it's a fun way to spend your time after being frustrated with other games. I do wish there was a third super hard-core mode but oh well.

I played FF at a nickle arcade last Feb. and really enjoyed it. I played it on the pc at work just this Friday, but I am better with the roller ball than I am with the mouse on our slow ass computer at work.

It was an okay game. A little fun in the beginning, but it got old after a while. If it was 200 points, I'd pick it up. But at 800 points, I'm going to wait for better games to come out.
I've only bought four arcade games so far, Zuma, Wik, Crystal Quest, and Bejeweled 2.

I'm enjoying the game. It'll be a nice change of pace during breaks from Oblivion.

Bought it and enjoy the simplicity between nervous-breakdown sessions of trying to clear The Silo level on Veteran in COD2.

Yes. Geometry Wars was fun, but I passed on buying the full game.

I bought this game and have been enjoying it. I picked up 8 of the 12 achievements already. I didn't like the 800 points to buy it part though. since I recently purchased this and Jewel Quest I need to run to Best Buy since I'm out of points again.

You know you can buy them directly on the Live Marketplace?

Yeah, $25.00 for 1600 points. Everywhere else its 19.99 (which if you do the math and figure out how much money each point is worth, $20.00 is right on the money)

However, if you want a good deal, and want to SAVE a couple bucks amazon.com has the 1600 card for 17.99 (with free shipping if your order is over $25.00.)

Enjoy.....

I didn't know that. I saw them in last weeks ad for 20.00 and just assumed that was the normal price. I have only bought 2 1600 point cards since I bought my 360 back in Nov. and those were from CC when they had them priced at 13.00 each.

after looking at the prices through the Live marketplace I think I may just buy the 5000 points so I have enough to spare and save myself the trip to any store.
