2.0 out of 5 stars Not awful, but truly disappointing., November 16, 2000

As a die-hard Animorphs fan, I really, really wanted to like this game. Unfortunately, the game just has too many flaws to make it worthwhile.

First, and perhaps most importantly considering the license, this game just doesn't feel or play like an Animorphs game; it plays like a fairly bad Pokemon clone that had the Animorphs license grafted onto it at a late stage of development. If you want to acquire an animal morph, do you do it by sneaking up on it in human form and touching it? No; you do it by beating the tar out of it in morph form, just like you would a Taxxon or Hork-Bajir. If you get the tar beaten out of you while in morphed form, do you die? No; you revert to human form (and must immediately morph into something else to continue the fight), and you lose the ability to ever use that morph form again, unless you can find and beat up a different animal of the same species. If you lose all of your morph forms in this way, the game is over. This isn't Animorphs, Ubi Soft; this is Pokemon--only the Pokemon games got the mechanics much, much better.

The plot isn't actively bad, but it's certainly uninspired. The graphics and sound are at least passable for a Game Boy game. But the game contains one simply unforgivable technical flaw; there's no battery backup system--instead, you must write down and re-enter sixteen-character passwords to save your progress. Hello, Ubi Soft? The 1980s are over. Please join us in the 2000s at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your cooperation.

Animorphs fans will find this game to be a major letdown, and non-Animorphs fans will probably find it simply pointless. You'd be much better served buying Pokemon Gold or Silver along with a few Animorphs books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mission:Animorphs, December 1, 2001

The Animorphs game is challenging so I would recommend this to people who are 8 and up or to those who have long attention spans. This game has 5 challengeing levels In which you have to defeat the Yeerks,Tiny Alien Slugs Which crawl into your brain and take total control over you,and thier leader Visser Three.{The only yeerk ever to obtaine an Andalite body.} In each level you play as one of the animorph characters Cassie, Jake, Marco, and Ax.{An Andalite. It has a humans upper body, a scorpions tail, a deers body, and it has no mouth because They eat with thier hooves. they also have two almond shape eyes and have two eyes on stalks.}Another member of the group is Tobias, you wont get to play as him because he is a nothlit, a person trapped in a animal body,But he does give you helpful hints and clues. Which reminds me there is a time limit to morphing,Two Hours, if you stay in morph past the time limit you will become a nothlit and the game will end, But you don't need to worry because Tobias will let you know when your time is almost up. In the game you have to acomplish tasks to get Animal morphs such as, you have to get the snake before you can get stronger morphs such as the lion and the elephant. As I said before it's challengeing but it's worth it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Be Fooled!, December 30, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Animorphs (Game Cartridge)

I am an Animorphs fan so I bought this game, but this game is not much like Animorphs. It is more like a cheap copy of Pokemon! You battle aliens with different attacks. The attacks can lower defence, lower accuracy, lower attack power, or weaken the alien. Besides that, the game is really hard to save and the directions aren't clear. Don't be fooled Animorphs fans!
