Like
its predecessor, Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie, Ice Age is a "side"
installment in the Farm Frenzy series, where you concentrate on a farm
in one location, taking the time to master all of the animals and
rebuilding and restoring the facility as you go. Unlike American Pie —
where there was a distinct lack of anything pie related — Ice Age has...
well, a lot of ice. And snow. And polar bears. But we're getting ahead
of ourselves here. Let's start at the beginning.
The
heroine of Farm Frenzy is bored one day and just happens to read an
advertisement for a farm at the pole. Of course that's a good idea, what
are you saying? Just because it's a frozen wasteland doesn't mean there
isn't some good farming possibilities there. After all, there are the
penguins. And the walruses. And the wooly mammoth. Wait, what pole is
this supposed to be at again? Well, judging by the creatures and by a
special guest appearance, this is a pole that exists only in the
imagination.
The
gameplay will be familiar to anyone who has played any of the many Farm
Frenzy installments. You begin with a basic farm, a well that produces
food (in this case, an ice fishing hole that produces fish, not much
call for water in the frozen north), a budget, and a task. The task may
be to produce raw goods, or manufactured items from those raw goods, and
you have a limited amount of time, money, and fish to scatter on the
ground to feed your animals. Eventually you will move on to larger, more
complex challenges, involving several different types of animals and
goods, some of which you can produce, some of which must be shipped in
by helicopter. Frenzy is an appropriate descriptor, as eventually you
will be juggling a lot of different tasks at the same time, working
hurriedly to beat the clock.
It
starts with penguins, who produce eggs, which you can sell at the
market. However, it is more efficient if you set up a plant that turns
the eggs into powdered eggs, which can sell for more money. Then build a
plant that can turn those powdered eggs into cookies, then turn those
cookies into cakes, etc. Eventually other animals will be added: royal
penguins which produce feathers that eventually become clothing; walrus
who produce ivory (that can be turned into souvenirs); and eventually
those mysterious, supposedly extinct wooly mammoth, surprisingly not for
their wool, but for something else entirely. Danger appears in the form
of polar bears which can kick away your hard working livestock as they
stride across your stretch of farm. Fortunately, there are also helper
animals available which can drive off the predators or help you collect
products as they hit the ground.
Each
level is on a timer. Finish within a certain amount of time and win a
gold trophy, finish a little slower and win a silver. Even if you don't
manage to win a trophy, you continue until the goal is met. However, you
want to finish as quickly as possible for the bonus points, which are
needed to purchase upgrades to buildings and machinery. Those upgrades
are needed to move on to the next rounds, so you may have to repeat a
scenario a few times to proceed further. In certain cases, the linear
track you are moving on splits, giving you a decision of which direction
on the map to move, breaking up the linearity of the basic game.
Analysis: Ice
age is pretty much a companion piece to American Pie. Not as complex as
the main Farm Frenzy games, instead concentrating on perfecting one
farm, albeit a rather strange one. Playing American Pie, for instance,
could necessitate raising sheep for wool, which is turned into yarn,
then cloth. To turn the cloth into clothing you needed to import strange
feathered neckpieces. Well, in Ice Age, you are approaching the same
task from the opposite direction, as this time you are constructing the
feathered goods and need to import the cloth, presumably direct from
granny's farm in the Midwest. The combinations used to produce goods are
similar to those in American Pie, complex but not overly so.
As
usual we are looking at the standard Farm Frenzy art, cute cartoony
animals against a fantasy background. Unlike the usual farms though,
you're looking at a lot of ice and snow, making the whole game actually
feel a little chilly while playing. Eventually even the polar bears will
end up in snowsuits, so we're talking cold. A lot of the amusement and
fun of the game comes from the animals, the waddling penguins, the
amazingly cute walrus, the stalwart guard dogs, the elegant cats, and
the adorably poufy mammoth. Despite the climactic differences, this is
still a basic Farm Frenzy game.
It's
all becoming a bit... same, isn't it? The game is still wacky fun, and
progresses to some wickedly difficult levels, but it would be nice to
see some changes introduced, other than just substituting "new" animals
for a different location. Some of the goods and manufacturing processes
are different due to the animals involved, and the tasks involving the
mammoths (when you eventually get to that level) are cute and
unexpected, but the dynamic is still very much in the Farm Frenzy
groove. If you've played any of the series this will all
seem very familiar.
Despite
the similarities to the other Farm Frenzy games (or, perhaps, because
of it) Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age is still a rollicking good time. With tons
of trophies to win and lots of levels to conquer, you're still looking
at hours and hours (and hours) of casual gameplay and replay value that
is fun for a wide range of ages. So enjoy the cute animals, and look out
for an appearance from a very special guest star.
