Basically, in Frantic you run around with a little ship and shoot down other little ships that drop power-ups and money. The only real difference between Frantic and other shoot-em-ups is that the game is more simple and refined (none of those fancy-schmancy multi-colored powerups). Plus there are more bullets and explosions.

Anyways, after a minute or two, one of these guys appears:

They aren't as intense as those crazy Japanese arcade bosses (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=68646), but they're still pretty fun.
Eventually, the boss pops, money spews out, and you're sent to a shop:

One problem with the game is that there's no real difficulty curve; if you have an easy time with level 1, level 10 basically the same thing, BUT the game is still fun as a mindless shoot-em-up.
A major problem, though, is the "adrenaline" system. I think this picture pretty much sums it up:

pewpewpew

One shot = 1/3 of the boss's HP is gone. Just pretend it doesn't exist and never use it.

Other than that, the game is pretty addictive. Once you get the hang of it it's not really all that hard, but hey, it's fun blowing stuff up, right?

haha pretty awesome, the learning curve is pretty flat I msut agree. The homing laser is weak, don't get it.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

BE STILL MY HEART!

How long more did you want me to wait for you??

Damn I've been trying to find a game like this for ages. I got Raystorm for PC on CD-ROM but apparently I can't play the game because the gay "Gota shut down programme thing" always pops up whenever I open the programme. This comes really close!

Really easy game, but sort of fun too. There probably won't be any challenge in it unless you set yourself goals like not losing a life, not getting hit or maybe not buying any upgrades.

I thoguht the yellow balls were attacks so I avoided them for the first 2 minutes. Then I realized that they were starting to be unavoidable (and their collision size was unusually bad) with all the ships on the screen too and found out they were money or something.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

After the third level the sound cut out, and the game seemed to stop progressing? My ship is just sitting there firing. (the little stars? in the background are not moving)
yea, the game is pretty easy. I haven't lost a life yet and have barely taken any damage.

Compared to 'Crazy Game' the dodging is easy.
