Introduction:
Feeding Frenzy 2: Shipwreck Showdown, a colourful action game in which you become part of a marine food chain. Playing as one of several different fish, your goal is to eat species that are smaller than you while avoiding those that can swallow you whole. Typically, you start out as one of the smallest fish in each level, so avoiding predators is often more of a priority than chasing after the small fry early on. Your goal on almost every level is the same but regardless of its shortcomings, Shipwreck Showdown is a worthy sequel to Feeding Frenzy in so much as it improves upon almost every aspect of that game. Even the modest cartoon-style visuals look significantly better than those in the original game when you see them side-by-side.

Abbreviated Walkthrough:
The game introduces many new gameplay features and multiplayer modes to the mix: Single player (Story Mode, Story ‘Lite’ and Time Attack! multiplayer) and Co-op (Story, Co-op ‘Lite’, party games and Frenzyfest). In addition to the 60-level Story Mode, which you can play solo or cooperatively with up to three friends on the same console, and comfortably beat in under four hours, Shipwreck Showdown features an easier "Lite" mode with fewer levels that's suitable for young children, as well as 10 different multiplayer games designed for up to four players.

There are many power-up items that you can collect in each level. In the first game, there were a few different power-ups that afforded you speed boosts, allowed you to temporarily stun enemies and that kind of thing. These return in Shipwreck Showdown and the arsenal has been expanded to increase your odds of survival against predators that are considerably more intelligent than their counterparts in the previous game. Picking up a mushroom will also magically shrink any fish larger than you to make it edible. You can even have up to three tiny "shield fish" swimming alongside you that will automatically dart into a predator's mouth in your place when you're about to lose a life.

Multiplayer:
The game only offers local couch multiplayer as I can see and also offers up to 4 players.

Mop-Up:
There should not be much of a mop-up by the time you have finished playing Story Mode and Time Attack, but if you do need to do anything then there is level select.

Conclusion:
Overall the game is not hard at all and with just 12 achievements the game should only take around 4-5 hours to complete. There is not a tutorial but the controls are very simple to pick up. You use to move, to dash and to inhale.

Show secret achievements

There are 12 achievements with a total of 200 points

  • Come first in a Frenzyfest Tournament

    Frenzyfest tournaments consist 3-9 rounds involving multiple players racing to finish the task for each round as quickly as possible. Most involve eating the most fish or bubbles, but there are also tasks that involve flipping in the air more than your opponents and also a tail biting contest. Simply win the majority of these rounds and you'll get this achievement.

    The points you earn in Frenzyfest tournaments also count toward the Life Of A Party achievement.

    This can be unlocked in Local, Player, or Ranked multiplayer.

  • Accumulate 5000 fish in your food bank

     
    You need to obtain 5,000 fish in your food bank for this achievement. After each level, your score will be shown and tallied up.

    If you do not have this by the end of the game, you can replay levels. Bonus levels give a lot of points too.

    Can be done in Single Player and co-op mode, the points are cumulative.
  • Complete Time Attack!

    From the main menu, go to Time Attack Mode and complete it for this achievement.

    You have limited time and infinite lives, so dash around and try and complete each level as quickly as possible. Many bubbles can help you, so try and grab all bubbles if and when you see them.
  • Compete in Party Games to accumulate 1000 Party Points

    Each time you complete a round in Frenzyfest or just a single match in multiplayer, you earn Party Points. If you win the round you earn 100 points, but you also earn a small amount of points each time you lose. The quickest way is to win 10 rounds. This can be done alongside the Frenzyfest Master achievement (i.e. Play a 7 round FF tournament, then a 3 round tourney and win all rounds to get this achievement).

    You should easily have this after a short while, since points are so easy to come by. If you can't find a friend or a match online, just hook up another controller and grab the easy wins.

    This can be unlocked in Local, Player, or Ranked multiplayer.

  • Rapidly eat fish to max out the FRENZY meter in a single player game

    There are 5 different levels on the FRENZY meter, which is situated at the top of the screen. "Mega Frenzy" is the final level.

    Each fish or bubble eaten goes towards it, so keep swimming and try to continuously eat them.

    This achievement can easily be gained on Bonus Levels, as there are no enemies. Also, the button is very useful, as you can suck in whole schools of fish.

    FF, Feeding Frenzy, bubbles make this achievement a lot easier, so grab them when you see them.
  • Accumulate three simultaneous fish shields

    As you progress through Story Mode, you'll notice reddish bubbles. These are Shield bubbles. When you eat one, a small fish joins your side and the next time a large fish tries to eat you, it dies in your place.

    Simply collect three of these bubbles in one level so that you have three shields at the same time, and you'll unlock this achievement.
  • Score a 'Barracuda Bonus' by biting a barracuda's tail four times in a row

     
    You need to bite a Barracuda's tail 4 times in a row and eat it, without it leaving the screen, to unlock this achievement.

    You know when a Barracuda is coming as a yellow warning sign flashes on the side of the screen it will appear from.

    Be quick to bite its tail, then retreat, as it turns quickly. Be patient and look for an opening, because as long as you're close to it, it will keep turning and stay on the screen. Then rinse and repeat 3 more times to shrink it. Once shrunk, gobble it up.
  • Eat 500 entire schools of fish, or swarms of bugs

     
    Once you are introduced to schools of fish and swarms of bugs early on in the game, you can start working towards this achievement.

    If you do not have this achievement by the end of the game, simply replay levels until you get it.

    The button is very useful for swallowing whole schools of fish in one go, and it is an extremely efficient method.

    When you see the words "School Bonus" on screen, that means you have added 1 school to the 500 needed.

    This is a cumulative achievement as Time Attack and Story Mode both count toward it.
  • Complete a Quadruple Flip

    Once you are taught how to jump out of the water to catch bugs, you can unlock this achievement on any level where there is a surface.

    This achievement requires you to flip four times while in the air (with the button).

    This isn't usually possible unless you have grabbed a Speed Bonus bubble (bubble containing Lightening Bolt), so once you've gotten one, get a nice charge up toward the surface and press five times as quickly as possible once you're at the top. The first press lets you jump out of the water, and the final four each correspond to a flip.

    Odds are it'll take you a couple tries to get this, but it's rather easy once you've gotten used to jumping out of the water and doing a couple flips casually.
    Remember to press the button five times and as quickly as possible, and you'll have it.

    This can be done in Story Mode, Time Attack, and any multiplayer games that allow you to leave the surface of the water.
