Who would have thought that you could make a game out of all the hard work that happens on a farm? Well, here is the third installment of the Farm Frenzy series. Farm Frenzy 3 builds upon the proven formula established by Farm Frenzy, Farm Frenzy 2 and Farm Frenzy Pizza Party.
Farm Frenzy 3 brings a lot of new gaming experience to the table with its 95 levels and five global locations. Whole new experiences come with the various locations like penguins eating fish in the cold arctic climates to loins showing up in the Africa areas.
One really nice change between Farm Frenzy Pizza Party and Farm Frenzy 3 is, no more “recipes”! While recipes did add a new dimension to the game play, I personally did not like the complicated recipe system that Farm Frenzy Pizza Party introduced to the series. Farm Frenzy 3 is more “back to the basics” with its gaming style, starting you off with the basic chickens and feed, gathering eggs to store in your warehouse, and finally loading up your truck to sell your goods in town to earn money for upgrades. As the game progresses you will be introduced to new buildings and new animal types, each of these new buildings and animals offer you higher profits from the products you can produce.
Besides the solid, entertaining game play, Farm Frenzy 3 also upgraded the visual aspect of the game by enhancing the rich buildings and animals with more dimension and shadows. Everything in the game is now very dimensional, from the animated buildings to the more detailed, 3D looking animals. One drawback to the upgraded graphics is that the game does require a little more “horse power” from your computer to render the graphics smoothly. If you’re running an older computer, you may notice some slowdowns (or GUI lag) when fast action is occurring like predators dropping from the sky while having a large amount of activity occurring on your farm.
Final thoughts: I was very happy to see the simple game play come back into Farm Frenzy 3 like it was in the original Farm Frenzy, but also there are enough new places, new animals and new building to make this a highly addictive game. The massive number of levels (95!) gives you a ton of game play that will keep you happily farming and entertained for hours! Good luck and happy farming!
