5.0 Presentation
Gets the job done without offering anything extra.
7.0 Graphics
Pretty yet uninspired. Characters animate smoothly but there's not much to the enviornments or enemies.
6.0 Sound
Again, it gets the job done. Nothing that will make your ears go nutty.
6.0 Gameplay
Cool puzzles marred by funky control and camera. No multiplayer.
6.0 Lasting Appeal
If you like the puzzles, there are more than 100 stages of them. If not, well, you're screwed.
6.0 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
While great for gamers on the go, Frantix winds up feeling like a rush job. There's no multiplayer to speak of, or any modes beyond the main single-player quest, for that matter. And the puzzles, while plentiful and reasonably well designed, can become frustrating due to funky control and camera issues. Frantix needs a little more polish, a few extra game modes and a lot more personality. If you love puzzles and don't mind the lack of multiplayer (and snazzy menus and extras) then you may want to check this one out. Just play a friend's copy first.
