Frenzy followed the basic paradigm set by Berzerk: the player must navigate a maze full of hostile robots. The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible and score points by killing robots and travelling from room to room. The game has no end other than the player losing all of his or her lives. The player has a gun with which to shoot the robots, and simple intelligence of the robots means that they can often be tricked into shooting one another. If the player lingers too long in a room, a bouncing smiley face (known as "Evil Otto") appears, and relentlessly chases the player. Evil Otto will destroy any robots in his way, and can move through walls. Read less

Berzerk Sequel Is, Well, Berzerk Plus Some New, Basic Gameplay Tweaks

Look: 7/10 Good enough, very similar to its predecessor Berzerk! Felt a bit redundant, consequently.

Play: 8/10 Oh it's a sequel to Berzerk, that's why it's so similar duh, ha. Another fun game like Berzerk, indeed; I like that you can shoot away some of the walls. And lol that the ricochet bullets can kill you. A lot of fun …

Play: 8/10 Oh it's a sequel to Berzerk, that's why it's so similar duh, ha. Another fun game like Berzerk, indeed; I like that you can shoot away some of the walls. And lol that the ricochet bullets can kill you. A lot of fun again like its predecessor.

Feel: 8/10 Fun, simple, worth a play. Nothing exhilaratingly special, but I find this genre fun and innocuous.

Attachment: 8/10 I'd probly replay this one over Berzerk just cuz of the additional features (really just the ricochet and shooting the walls ha) and whatnot, but also maybe just short play of Berzerk. it's good stuff but not one of the striking arcade genres imo.
