The unstoppably addictive bastard puzzle cousin of "Missile Command," Fantavision's perfectly presented and hypnotically beautiful
-
Believe it or not this is one of the best of the PS2 launch titles, and one of the best puzzle games anywhere.
-
TotalGames.netPut simply, Fantavision is a work of art. It’s beautiful.
-
It's very addicting so if you don't have much time to spare, this isn't the title for you because playing for only a few minutes is an impossibility.
-
A very fast-paced game that will test an action gamer's reflexes to the limit, especially on the harder difficulty levels.
-
Total Video GamesDon't get me wrong, I think the game itself is excellent, but I wouldn't see myself plunking down fifty bucks to own it.
-
Daily RadarThe multiplayer is what really sets the game apart from most puzzle games, in fact, letting two people fight for space onscreen, pushing the separating line back and forth by performing combos.
-
The control scheme is a bit counter-intuitive. While it does work nicely once you’ve gotten used to playing, it makes for some frustrating gameplay for the first hour or so.
-
It really is a great stress-relieving game with its simple controls, colorful visuals, and soothing sounds--ah, the simple pleasures in life.
-
Game FanUnderneath the pretty particle effects and the elevator-style muzak, you have not only a nifty diversion, but also one hoohah of a two-player game that deserves more respect than it's getting.
-
Deceptively simple and incredibly engaging.
-
Spank!It looks sweet and the gameplay is sufficiently untaxing as to be rather therapeutic.
-
Da GameboyzFor the hardcore gamer, Fantavision will get lost in the shuffle of the other big name titles.
-
Unlike "Missile Command," Fantavision is an out and out puzzle game that offers a less aggressive, oddly soothing game experience.
-
Strangely, as Sony's sole first-party game on the PlayStation 2, it's absolutely the most underwhelming, least power-hungry, least impressive tile of the bunch.
-
Although the game captures a warm feeling coupled with a bizarre sense of "the new," FantaVision, like its flares, burns too bright, too quickly, leaving an empty sort of feeling once you've mastered the basics.
-
While it tries to take a different gameplay approach, the result is something that is so frantic, players will have a tough time figuring out what exactly is going on...and that's a puzzle we can do without.
-
CNET GamecenterAn incredibly monotonous, extremely boring family game devoid of fun.

RichardU.Apr 18, 2007This is the BEST game ever, because Sony only put my name on one game out of all the games I tested.
