“Get FRANTIX and get ready to go” the blurb says... “Challenge yourself in the first character-based 3D puzzle-solving adventure for the PSP" Still awake? - "But careful, the obvious path is not always the best solution and each level is filled with devious characters, unique obstacles, dangerous hazards, and deadly traps along the way”… If this description doesn’t set your pulse pounding in these days of hi-def home console gaming then you’re not alone – it didn’t exactly grab me by the collar either, but man is this an addictive little number…

A very simple game is Frantix, although it has its own unique feel, there’s nothing complex or weird to get used to. Different coloured gems (how original) are scattered through the myriad levels set in the game’s different worlds. The object is to collect all the gems and get to the exit portal before the time runs out. Finish the level quickly enough and you get a bonus Gold gem. Some levels have gems with different colours, which you can use to open doors of the same colour, opening up new sections of the world. Simple. Yep, simple, simple to play but fast and complex enough to make your brain work overtime - and addictive as hell to boot.
