Oh Boy, Do I Remember This One...

Okay, back when I was a younger teen, I was pretty dumb. Frankly, no one in my house or that I interacted with knew anything about computers or computer games; so I grew up thinking that games like these were cool. It was a real smack in the face to learn that, even in a pastime where time-wasting is a problem, I had really wasted my time with these games. Look, as an interesting little game, getting one of the Farm Frenzy games is okay and kind of fun. Don't get all ten of them. Instead, go play Minecraft, Geometry Wars, a Mario game, or chess. Better yet, go find some friends and play a pickup game of soccer, or go ride your bike to the edge of town and do dumb stunts like your parents used to.

What’s It About?

FARM FRENZY FOREVER is a compilation of 10 different Farm Frenzy games, including titles like Farm Frenzy Madagascar, Farm Frenzy Ice Age, and Farm Frenzy Gone Fishing. Each one of these games is functionally identical but has a different setting -- one is set in the arctic, another in the jungle, etc. -- and vary slightly in which farm animals are presented. Although it is advertised as containing 10 different games, they are all fairly small in scope, making this compilation seem more like one game with 10 different levels.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1):
Kids say (2):

The games included in Farm Frenzy Forever are competent, standard time management games. However, there is little to differentiate them from the many other titles in the "time management" genre. Players end up repeating the same steps over and over again, making it seem like more of a grind than a game. There are some mini-games to mix up the experience a little, but as far as the central gameplay mechanic goes, there are several better titles in this genre.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
