Feeding Frenzy Characters
Invasive species are devastating the Florida ecosystem. Whether it's pythons and boa constrictors in the Everglades or destructive lionfish on the coastal reefs, non-native animals are causing untold damage to the environment. A scientist, calling himself Dr. Catalyst, has a plan to combat these animals. He's going to create his own genetically altered super predators to halt the spread of the invaders.
Emmett Doyle doesn't want to be in Florida. But his dad is a scientist and he's been called from their home in Montana to assist Dr. Rosalita Geaux, the Everglades National Park Superintendent, to find out why birds and other animals are migrating out of the Everglades in record numbers. What he discovers is shocking. Someone is releasing genetically engineered animals into the Florida wilds.
And when Dr. Feeding frenzy truck. Doyle gets to close to Dr. Catalyst's work, the deranged environmentalist takes him hostage. Emmett and Calvin Geaux must venture into the heart of the Everglades in an attempt to rescue Emmett's dad. And together they must try to stop a madman from unleashing environmental havoc.
“This is the ideal series for reluctant readers, especially boys, with easy to read short action-packed chapters, terrifying encounters with hybrid gator monsters, crazy escapes and plenty of science. The author effortlessly weaves themes of single parentage, grief, starting over somewhere new and eco-terrorism into the plotline. Future volumes in the Killer Species series promise more of the same.”

Feeding Frenzy is an arcade-style aquatic video game written by Sprout Games, and published by PopCap Games. With an initial debut on February 11, 2004, it saw a re-release on the Xbox Live Arcade service, with versions for both the original Xbox and the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 version, released on March 15, 2006, was the 17th most popular Xbox Live Arcade title for 2006.[1]
In February 2006, the sequel to this game, Feeding Frenzy 2 was released.[2]
In 2016 Feeding Frenzy was made available for Xbox One backwards compatibility and is free to members on EA Access.
Gameplay[edit]
In Feeding Frenzy, players control a hungry marine predator intent on munching as many other fish as possible. During the course of the game's 40 levels, they switch off between 5 marine animals. The last level is where they attempt to dethrone a large shark, the 'Shark King', using Orville the Orca. The player takes on the role of different aquatic species each trying to move up the food chain. As smaller fish are eaten, the player's own fish grows in size and becomes capable of eating somewhat larger fish.[3] By the end of each level, the fish is sufficiently large enough that it can eat almost anything on-screen. Players must be vigilant for hazards which include depth charges, larger predators, naval mines, irradiated fish, and jellyfish.
If the player eats a sufficiently large number of fish in a short period of time, a score-enhancing Feeding Frenzy is initiated. If the player continues to rapidly consume other fish, a further Double Frenzy can be achieved. These both end when a short period of time without further rapid consumption elapses.
The full game includes both a normal mode and a 'time attack' mode.[4]
Creatures[edit]
Playable[edit]
- Andy - The first playable fish. He is a red Annularis Angelfish. His only ability is a quick dash, or burst of speed.
- Leon - The second playable fish. He is a strong orange Lionfish. While playing as Leon, the player unlocks the suck ability.
- Eddie - The third playable fish. He is a strong orange Anglerfish. The creators made a mistake in saying Eddie was a male, as only females grow that size, possess a lure, and live that lifestyle.
- J.D. - The fourth playable fish. He is a John Dory.
- Orville - The fifth and last playable character. He is an orca. Orville is also the only mammal in the entire game (playable and predator).

Reception[edit]
Feeding Frenzy Download
A review by IGN criticized the title's simple mechanics and overall lack of depth, resulting in a score of 6.6 out of 10 for the Xbox 360 version. The review suggested that additional online elements could have helped with the title's otherwise limited lasting appeal.[7] The TeamXbox review also commented negatively about the game's difficulty and replayability, suggesting that it may be better suited towards children. Nonetheless, despite being somewhat shallow, TeamXbox concluded that the game was still accessible and fun, awarding the Xbox 360 version a 7 out of 10.[8] Eurogamer stated that 'Microsoft's Live Arcade offerings are generally well worth the asking price, but Feeding Frenzy, sadly, isn't one of them.', giving the game a 3/10.[3]
