Again, something that was quirky fun in an earlier title ended up slowing down the game in an unpleasant way this time around. As a dog lover, I found this irritating, and I ended up not buying dogs unless I absolutely had to. In another strange design decision, the helper dogs blow themselves up kamikaze style when they attack bears, instead of just barking to build cages as they did before. I was annoyed every time I came back to the map. A woman from Antarctica says things like "Me vote for you." The African farmer on the map is a bad stereotype from a 1930’s children’s book, complete with a bone through his nose. And the depictions of people from other countries vary from strange to offensive. The add-on story slows things down further, with cut-scenes that seem like a clone of every other "plucky young girl takes on corporate bad guy" plot. Buy nine penguins or get attacked by four lions and everything just stops while the screen slowly redraws itself. First, the more complex graphics really slow down rendering, particularly when items are falling from the sky. Each type of animal eats differently, and watching a penguin flip a fish into the air to catch it is impressive.īut the game itself falls flat compared to earlier versions. Graphics are more sophisticated, dropping the 2-D cartoon style for 3-D character drawings with shadows and highlights. To increase variety, you play on ingredients different continents, so although there’s an egg layer on each farm, the animals vary from Geese to Penguins. Most products have only two ingredients, and even the most complex is easy to learn. Even the most dedicated FF fans had to play with recipe cards stacked by the side of the keyboard, because no one could remember exactly what went into each flavor.įarm Frenzy 3 has dropped all that. That moved a little away from the "think fast, click fast" fun of the original by adding very complex recipes. You had to really push yourself to get a gold on every level, and studying subtle points to shave a few more seconds off was an incentive to play some levels seven or eight times, stretching an already long game into a master course that could take weeks to finish.Īfter Farm Frenzy and Farm Frenzy 2 came Farm Frenzy Pizza Party. The best part about it was the replayability. Farm goals were easy to understand, and every level offered a choice of strategies that kept things interesting.

The graphics were simple and the animals were goofy, but the gameplay was great.

I’ve liked the Farm Frenzy series from the beginning. It’s still a playable game, but it lacks the charm of earlier titles. Sadly, though, the result is also a step backwards in fun. The previous Farm Frenzy Pizza Party may have gotten too complicated for some players, and Farm Frenzy 3 takes a big jump backwards in gameplay, while adding more of a story and some international locations. Alawar’s Farm Frenzy 3 is the fourth title in the Farm Frenzy series, a time management game where you have to meet different, and sometimes conflicting, goals like owning five goats or baking 10 cakes.
