    Played it at the release! Real fun, awesome gameplay! Too bad, I don't own a PS4, so I can play it more often.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Have been playing this game quite a lot. And with quite a lot I mean.. QUITE A LOT.. JESUS HOW I'VE PLAYED THIS FREAKING GAME. I must have put more hours into it than I did into breathing. It's always fun to play with friends. Is specially fun if everybody is drunk. Here is a tip.. after you friends get used to playing this game a couple of times just shout "STRIP FRANTICS" when they are drunk. That will surely be a blast.… Expand

    In general it's a very fun game. There are games that I more fun than other. Suitable for gaming with family especially with young kids. I definitely think it worth the money.

    This is a great game. Very competitive and challenging. They've made the most of the PlayStation PlayLink and the challenge of defeating your friends is great fun. The characters are excellent (esp the fox) and has a great appeal to kids, but the most fun can be had when you play it at parties - it really gets the fun going.

    I played this game with some of my friends and needless to say, some friendships were ruined that day. A really good game with a competitive side to match. The whole style is really fun and the characters are great #IamMooseWayne. Totally worth getting if you're either wanting to have a lot of wacky fun or stab your a**whole friend in the back!

    PlayStation Russia thinks that this game is equal to CoD: MW2 Remastered. We demand to replace the game in August PS Plus!

    Perhaps this game is good in its own way. But this is not a worthy replacement for CoD MW2 that everyone will get except Russian players. I'm very disappointed with PlayStation Russia unit decision!

    I'm not a hater, but why should I get this game for 30 minutes for a full price in playstation plus? I don't need this indie game that I will never play, replace this ugly August selection with a normal one.

    NapNok are very good in creating fun enjoyable games to play by a group of friends or family. And Frantic is delivering all the way. It's very easy to get in the game and have fun with a lot of people. I especially like how players can learn from each other's mistakes. :)

    It's the best one out of all the Playlink titles. The clay-like art style is just beautiful, the characters are awesome and the cheeky, evil fox is like a cherry on top.

Might not have a lot of mini-games but they are just different enough to mix it up. I love the tutorial lady accent, it's well cute and fits the general game style. Also the price is a great value for money.… Expand

    A fun game for 1-2 hours of playing at a party with friends. No more, no less.
    It is unlikely that you will play it alone, or for more than a couple of hours with friends.

Frantics is simple just play with your friends and have fun, don’t expect a lot there isn’t so many modes there is just three so have at it. (Good 3/5) Give It A Try!… Expand

    Frantics es un juego multijugador que requiere del uso del móvil para jugarlo. Posee un total de 15 minijuegos muy simples que, al igual que son fáciles de entender para que todo el mundo los pueda jugar, son excesivamente simples y ninguno profundiza lo más mínimo en sus mecánicas, escenarios ni diseño, haciéndose estos realmente aburridos una vez los has jugado un par de veces. No ayudaFrantics es un juego multijugador que requiere del uso del móvil para jugarlo. Posee un total de 15 minijuegos muy simples que, al igual que son fáciles de entender para que todo el mundo los pueda jugar, son excesivamente simples y ninguno profundiza lo más mínimo en sus mecánicas, escenarios ni diseño, haciéndose estos realmente aburridos una vez los has jugado un par de veces. No ayuda nada que el control con el móvil sea pésimo, presentando latencia y siendo muy impreciso; y esto estropea ostensiblemente la experiencia de juego. Tampoco presenta ningún modo de juego alternativo más que el de esos minijuegos, quedándose muy escaso en contenidos. En el apartado técnico es bastante simple pero esto es poco significativo para el tipo de juego que es, y artísticamente tampoco es llamativo en absoluto. La banda sonora es ambiental y anecdótica y los efectos de sonido están bastante bien, siendo un buen complemento los utilizados por el móvil. También destacan los personajes controlados por los jugadores y el narrador, que son bastante carismáticos. El uso del móvil en Frantics lo veo muy desaprovechado, ya que se podrían haber implementado mecánicas e interacciones que habrían justificado su uso. Como conclusión, no puedo recomendar este juego para jugar con la familia o los amigos sobre otros juegos multijugador, ya que seguramente sean más entretenidos e interesantes que este. 5,3/10

    Instead of being a true fun and accessible Mario Party-like game, Frantics remains an inconclusive attempt to make us laugh. Correction. We laugh, but at the game, not with it.
