Fantavision for the PS2 is a puzzle game where you get to create your own fireworks show. You do this by capturing the rockets in midair and then detonating the colored combinations. You can have up to three combinations, such as; three orange, three blue and three yellows. The more combinations you detonate, the higher your score and the better the fireworks explosions. And that is what is all about. The graphics are colorful. The screen will pan through several backdrops such as a cityscapes, space stations, and other interesting places to put on a fireworks show. The particle effects look cool- they really look like actual fireworks in the sky. The music consists of new age, pop jazz and light rock, which fits into the mood of a show. The sound effects are also good, but simplistic. If you know what fireworks sound like then this is what it is in the game as well. The controls are very easy to learn. You use your analog stick to aim, then the controller buttons to capture and detonate the fireworks, it only takes a few seconds to learn. There is an in-game tutorial
which clearly explains everything if you don't understand the game.
It excels in the "novalty" part of fireworks into a playable game, that is easy to get into. Although frantic at times, the game play is still fun. It is also one of the most unique puzzle games available for the PS2 system, but it also happens to be one of the shortest puzzle game for the PS2 (or possibly any system)! It takes me about 45 minutes to finish even in the hardest difficulty. Once you finish, you can replay the fireworks shows you created and view it from multiple camera angles and special effects. You will also unlock a few challange modes, but other than that, the game has very little replay value. Fanatavision is just begging for extra levels. And shame on its creators for making it so short; with only nine (9) levels of gameplay. This fact alone ruins its potential to be one of the best puzzle games to come along since Tetris.

Rating: - Fun and Relaxing
The game is quite fun. It's like a "chill-out" game where you can play and have fun and enjoy the cool music, graphics, and pretty fireworks :) Trying to get as many chains of fireworks as possible can be a challenge, if you choose to do so. Enjoy!
Rating: - Awful game with no point.
This game is as boring as it is short. All it is is just a fireworks show. I love fireworks, but not virtual ones. I should sell this game. Maybe someone will pick it up for $20.00. LIke I said, pointless, boring, unexciting.
Rating: - Awesome!!!
This game rules, it is fun, but short. Great for a rainy day or any other day. Definitely worth more than $5.
Rating: - Boring game
This game is soooooo boring i fell asleep playing it! The only thing good about it is it's replay feature which lets you sit and watch a firework show, but other than that this game has no objective. I never thought fireworks could be this boring.
