Fantavision: Man...This Is Pretty Lame.

by Alkaiser Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 19 '01
Pros: Um...First fireworks game ever?
Cons: No fun, no real puzzle in the puzzle game.
I had stayed far away from this game. I didn't need a firework game. My life before firework games had been pretty good, and I didn't feel the need for change.

I didn't like it when I thought it was a game for use with a light gun, and I...

Look mommy, I blowed it up!

by imprimis2 , Jul 07 '03
Pros: Nice vivid colors in explosions; greatly detailed backdrops in certain levels.
Cons: Game is overly simplistic; replay value is minimized by lack of variety.
Independence Day has come and went, and now all we can do is sit back and daydream about all those pretty fireworks we saw a few days ago. How they sparkled in the sky, caught our eye, brought a smile to our face, and made us squeal. Well, maybe not ...

A balance of lighting and low replay value

by hyundai_fan , May 09 '03
Pros: Easy to play, the background music, graphics.
Cons: Replay value, finished with all secrets in two hours.
When it comes to video games, everyone wants great graphics like in Gran Turismo 3 or like Rez. Even the non-gamers like it. Who cares about a storyline or hard controls, when they want to get to play immediately and with a lo challenge level?...

Give it some credit

by templeh , Nov 05 '01
Pros: Not as bad as everyone is saying
Cons: unless you've done everything in one player mode
Originally I was going to come in here and give this game a fantastic rating. Then I started to read some of the other reviews that people gave and I started to think. Sure, this game is good, but it's not great.

True, it isn't really a...

All flash, no bang.

by gem1 , Nov 02 '00
Pros: Great visuals, good music
Cons: Too short, bungled a great original idea, unfulfilling.
Warning: Overuse of cliches may be used to help enhance this review.

With all the hype surrounding the launch titles for the PS2, there is several people saw that looked odd. With 26 titles, not all of them could of been a great...

Light your own fireworks cool!!!

by RHGRT1 , Oct 26 '00
Pros: Graphics, The game, puzzles keep you going
Cons: Sound could be a little nerve wrecking
Playstation 2 is going to be a big entertainment console and to get it off with a start they release 32 games on launch day October 26. One of the many great launch games is Fantavision. This game is where you light your own fireworks over detailed...

Shortest game EVER!

by texcooper , Aug 26 '03
Pros: nice graphics and music, cool concept, easy to play
Cons: SHORTEST game ever! Rip off! should have been a free game
Fantavision is a game where you get to create your own fireworks show. You do this by capturing the ...

Launch Day Dud

by billservo , Oct 30 '00
Pros: Unique concept. Dazzling graphics.
Cons: Non-intuitive, poorly done- just not much fun.
I've been through every console launch that's ever been and I can't remember but one of them being launched with a puzzle game. The one was the Gameboy with Tetris- wildly successful. So on one hand you can't blame Sony for trying the same. But...

Do I have to give this game a star?

by LaughingTarget Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 06 '00
Pros: Lighting
Cons: Everything else imaginable
FantaVision is, uh, a really bad game. Yeah, I said it, the game is pathetic. Its somewhat like a graphical update of Missile Command, but with worse controls and a really freaky combo system. Its games like this that makes me wonder why Sony even...

2 player mode.

by Alacrity024 , Sep 26 '01
Pros: Fast-paced, keeps you on your toes.
Cons: Cutthroat tactics often lead to saying things you later wish you hadn't said.
This review will only discuss the two player mode of Fantavision, because I don't feel like I should get into an argument with the handful of people who just think it's a horrible game and either aren't willing or aren't interested in delving deep into...

FantaVision. Tough love.

by rheaton , May 24 '01
Pros: Fireworks are great. Fast gameplay.
Cons: Hard to learn. Can be frustrating
I put it off. Then I put it off some more. Then I read the reviewsand was glad I had put it off. Then I saw it on sale for $29 NEW and I was thrilled I'd put it off. Then I saw it USED for $10 and decided that this has to be the worst game ever made....

just when I was getting into it...

by sirtayls , Apr 11 '01
Pros: non violent, good graphics,
Cons: ends too quick, high scores already set.
...it ended... (you'll see...)

Fantavision has a great premise, almost a mix between tetris and missile command. Your objective is to catch firework flairs and explode them into beautiful cascades of colors. Catch three in a row of the same...

Isn't Fanta cheap Soda?

by Sarcasm1014 , Nov 07 '00
Pros: Nice firework explosions
Cons: Everything else
All right, I tried to be neutral when I played this game. After all, I bought my Playstation 2 from Circuit City where they made you purchase this game as part of a package deal. But, since I didn't preorder, I figured this was a good pennance. Not to...

A different kind of missile command

by T-Loco , Nov 10 '00
Pros: Great VS mode
Cons: Not too impressive for such a high quality station
When I was first told about the concepts of this game, being compared to Missile Command except using fireworks, I thought it was pretty odd and lame. I rented this game along with the PS2. The thing is, you need to really understand all the concepts...

It's the 4th of July every night.

by chrisell Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 02 '02
Pros: Addictive 80's style gameplay.
Cons: The cut scenes and intro movies are kinda camp....
Way back when I was deciding which console to buy, two of the "must have" games I put on my PSX2 shortlist were Gran Turismo 3, and Fantavision. Being cheap, I wasn't about to pay full price for Fantavision so I waited. Last weekend, my local...
