Frantics is an action party game where you battle friends and family in quirky mini-games. It's played like a game show, only here each round involves a little video game. The twist is that you can sabotage the other players in various sneaky ways. Although it's a PlayStation game you control things with your Smartphone so you don't need a PS4 controller for each player.

The rounds vary from racing a go-karting to skydiving cows, balancing chickens or rocket-powered wildfowl. Like other PlayLink games, it's all controlled by swiping, tilting, shaking and flicking with your Smartphone. Along with being able to sabotage other players' screens you also get calls on your phone to tell you secret missions like ensuring another player loses. A final nice touch is when a player is out, they can still target other players to slow them down or cause them problems and stop them from winning.

The result is a surprisingly entertaining party game. The clever use of the Smartphone features makes it feel fresh and novel. But there is also a really solid PlayStation party game driving the action as well. It's a light-hearted (and cost-effective) way to get four people enjoying some video games together - without needing to buy 4 Dual Shock controllers.
