Farm Frenzy 3,
Russian Roulette you'd think that Russian
Roulette would bring something new and interesting to the popular time
management series. Instead, the game delivers more of the same, with little in
the way of surprises, and lacks even the simple visual change made byits
predecessor.
After feeding people across
the world, in Russian Roulette series heroine Scarlett sets her sights a little
higher: outer space. She decides to take on a new account feeding hungry
astronauts. As per usual, the story is mostly superfluous, serving only as a
set-up for the actual game. What's disappointing though, is that the new scenario
doesn't really add much to the experience. While the series' previous release
Ice Age played much like the rest of the Farm Frenzy games, it at least added a
new and interesting visual style. Russian Roulette doesn't even have this,
instead going back to a traditional farm setting.
The game looks and plays
exactly like the rest of the series. You have a number of different animals
that need to be fed, each of which produces a different item. Geese lay eggs,
sheep make wool, etc. These items can then either be refined and used to make
other items, or sold for profit. Each of the game's 90 stages gives you a
different task to complete, from collecting a specific number of eggs to baking
a specific number of cakes. Usually you'll have more than one objective to
complete per stage, and at times it can get pretty hectic trying to juggle them
all. You'll also have to watch out for pesky bears who will scare away all your
livestock. Expect to do quite a bit of clicking.
Beating each stage earns
you stars, and the quicker you complete it the more you earn. These stars are
then used to unlock additional stages. What's great about this system is that
it works no matter how good you are at the game. If you're constantly getting
gold trophies and earning lots of stars, you'll breeze right through the
campaign. If not, you can go back and replay stages to earn the stars you
missed out on. This helps ensure that you'll never really get stuck.
Basically, if you've played
any of the previous Farm Frenzy 3 games, the set-up will feel intimately
familiar. In fact, the only real difference between the games is the goofy new
storyline and a few new buildings and products. However, while these look
different, they essentially play the same roles as in previous games. There's even
a brand new super unit similar to the robot from American Pie: the oil bear,
who drills for oil if you feed it honey. Like the robot, the oil bear is
incredibly expensive -- costing five times as much as the next highest animal
-- but produces a very valuable commodity.
Russian Roulette maintains
the cheerful, cartoon like visuals the series is known for, with bright and
colorful animals that animate smoothly, though the variety of backgrounds on
display leaves something to be desired. There's also an upbeat, catchy
soundtrack to match. Overall, the presentation is great, though it doesn't
really do much that you haven't seen in the series already. The only real
annoyance is some of the sound effects, which repeat a little too often:
hearing one goose quack is OK, but 30 at once is more than a tad irritating.
But while you've already
seen most of it before, there is quite a bit of content in the game. The 90
levels provide hours of gaming time, and that's even if you don't have to
replay any of them (which you probably will). On top of that, because the game
is time-based, there's plenty of incentive to back and replay levels in order
to try and improve on your scores.
Russian Roulette is now the
fourth game to bear the Farm Frenzy 3 name, and it does little to differentiate
itself from the rest of the series. If you've already played the previous three
games and are aching for some more levels to play, Russian Roulette will
provide exactly what you're looking for, with a lengthy campaign and very
familiar gameplay. But if you're looking for something different, you'll be
sorely disappointed. Let's just hope that Scarlett is able to take a nice long
vacation after this latest adventure, as the Farm Frenzy 3 formula is starting
to wear thin.
