I'm renting it, not bold enough to just dive in, and wasn't too impressed by the demo. I'd promise to post impressions when it arrives, but who knows how long that will take, my queue is getting huge.

I bought the first one from the bargain bin and it's good fun with four players, so the same will happen with this one.

review is up on teamxbox.com

gameplay 6.5
Eighty percent of the included games are fun. The other twenty percent are just plain difficult to play and uninteresting.
graphics 6.4
audio 5.9
Five lines of dialog repeated until your head pops like a pimple. Sound effects and soundtrack bots are at least tolerable.
Longevity 7.0

Innovation 6.3
Overall 6.6

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1285/Fuzion-F...

from last page of review:
The online portion of Fuzion Frenzy 2 basically mimics the offline area, as both tournament and single matches can be played with up to three other gamertags. Matches can be open to everyone, or all of the slots can be made available to friends only. Slots that are not filled by human players are filled with bots, with the same ability to change their skill level as the offline game. Quick, custom, and user-created matches are available from the busy online menu interface.

Gameplay-wise, the action of Fuzion Frenzy 2 is what you might expect from a party game. The controls and activities are simplistic, but for the most part fun as a quick shot of gaming adrenaline. We are glad that Hudson Soft included forty-plus games though, as many of these are pure duds. Most of the melee games suffer from poor hit detection and camera angles that make for more luck than skill. Most of the games built around piloting a fast-moving vehicle are worthless too, as it’s hard to react quickly enough to obstacles. It seems as though a handful of these games were designed to be dominated by the CPU, which is okay provided that you a) like losing or b) always play with human competition. The moral of this story is stay far away from hard bots on Turbine Jumper. The difficulty of some of these events against the CPU is no real surprise to us though - Hudson Soft is the evil empire behind Bomberman: Act Zero; one of the hardest games ever to hit the 360.



There’s a pretty slick futuristic look to the entire presentation of Fuzion Frenzy 2 that at least makes it seem worthy of the Xbox 360’s power. Colors are crisp and vibrant, resolution stout enough for a party game, and character models competent without being overly cartoon-y. The audio, on the other hand, is overly cartoon-like to the point that it’s annoying. The voice work is like listening to a repetitive game show host and an episode of Power Rangers at the same time. The sounds effects and music are a bit canned as well, but a bit more bearable than the voice work.

The hardest part to stomach about Fuzion Frenzy 2 for gamers might be the price. Fifty bucks for a game that wouldn’t have too much trouble on the old Xbox is a bit steep. There are forty-plus games here, which does aid Fuzion Frenzy 2 in the replay value column, but it’s easy to see how thirty a pop could be more easily stomached. Besides, you can buy a butt-load of helium balloons, noise makers and red-devil’s food for a real party for the asking price of Fuzion Frenzy 2.

Shame on anyone who was looking forward to DoAX2 for reasons other than the titties who isn't also interested in this game. Why...because you obviously lied about the titties not being the reason you bought it or wanted to buy it.
