What we fear, however, is that the minigames won’t sell 360 owners on Frenzy 2 either. As diverse as they appear on the surface, our hands-on time grew awfully repetitive awfully fast. In Debris Field Derby, four of🍷 us free fell through space, dodging the asteroids that blazed towards us while trying to shove each other into those same rocketing projectiles. Then, in Coin Drop, we dived down a vertical neon-lit tunnel, hurtling our bodies towards the floating coins that littered our descent.

But although that may sound extremely exciting, in tr𒁏uth, both activities consisted o🧔f nothing more than gently movingthe controller'sleft analog stick. This, despite the sparkly onscreen fireworks and breathless commentary by lord-of-ceremonies DJ, who's constantly screaming "I’ve never seen a battle this crazy!"

Other minigames are equallysimple in their current forms. At least three are built around the concept of pressing the X, B, Y or A buttons when🎐 a prompt appea𒈔rs on screen, while several others involve fighting and blocking, but can be won merely by pressing the "punch"button over and over. Yeah, there's a lot of button mashing.
