FantaVision

A decent puzzle game.

Strengths: If you like puzzle games, you'll probably get a few fours out of it.

Weakness: Lacks the addictive qualities of great puzzles.

This was the only game Sony put out when they launched their PS2, and for a game so early, it sure is pretty. If you're a fan of fireworks or puzzle games, you'll have some fun with it, but the problem is, once you're done, you're done. There's really nothing to unlock or any reason to try to improve your score.

puzzle type game

Strengths: some will be entertained

Weakness: others will not

I wasn't too thrilled about this game. Its a puzzle type game in which you shoot fire works. The concept and gameplay really didn't entice me. In my opinion this game was a waste of time.

FantaVision

Strengths: Nice stlye, unique idea for a puzzler

Weakness: I find myself with more success mashing buttons than using puzzling strategy

This game caught my eye in the discount bin. "Oh!" I thought, "A music game?" Not quite. The Box tells me its a Firework Puzzle Game! With music! Well, that sounds like something to try for such a cheap price! From a wordy in game tutorial, I learned the basics of the game. In this game you make fireworks go off by jumping the cursor from flare to flare. Link colors of flares and make sure you...

FantaVision

Strengths: Very Different

Weakness: Not much to it

This game is actually kinda cool, but very basic. There isn't very much to it but it's very different. You kind of play with fireworks and try to beat the other team. I didn't like it all that much, but I can see why others would. Rent it before you buy it.

FantaVision

Strengths: Pretty graphics, easy to learn, intuitive control.

Weakness: Just not addictive.

A puzzle/action game with fireworks and cool graphics. Too bad it's not as compelling as it sounds. "Fantavision" was a launch title for the PS2. Unlike some launch titles, it doesn't feel rushed or incomplete. "Fantavision" seems to be a well-thought out package, with good design and high production values. The point of the game is to detonate fireworks that are launched. String together combos...

FantaVision

Strengths: Nice graphics, fun puzzle challenges, easy to get into

Weakness: A bit repetitive

Fantavision is a simple puzzle game, where launching fireworks into the sky to make explosions and combination explosions, scoring points. It's sort of like Tetris in a number of ways, though set up in a reverse pattern, going upwards. The fireworks and explosions look nice, and it's an easy game to get into, though it can get a bit repetitive at times. Puzzle fans should look at getting this...

FantaVision

Strengths: PS2's first puzzle game, pretty graphics, fireworks without the missing fingers, now inexpensive to purchase

Weakness: Game play gets old quickly

Back in the Fall of 2000, Sony Computer Entertainment America struggled to get all of its gaming genre bases covered for the launch of its new Playstation 2 hardware. Unfortunately, the only software support that Sony itself put out for the PS2's North American release was Fantavision, a relatively lackluster puzzle game. Marketed as a "fast and furious puzzle game taken to new heights,"...
