'Animorphs' is a popular book series by Katherine A. Applegate, and this game is an action-style game based on that series. A group of teenagers gains the power to morph into various animals, and must fight the Yeerks, which can control humans.

The game is much like various Playstation games - Legends of Legaia, Final Fantasy VIII. You move all four players at the same time - Jake, Rachel, Cassie, and Marco, through a nicely rendered world. Tobias acts as your guide.

If you touch an animal, you can now turn into that animal. Each animal has its own abilities, and with the wide variety of animals you have to choose from, it makes for interesting puzzle solving. Do you fly to get out a window? Jump over the pits instead?

The graphics are very nice - again, it's shape-oriented rendering much like console games. Combat is a bit tedious, but it's slow pacing makes it easier for younger gamers to get their combinations in before their turn is up. Unlimited inventory means you simply pick up whatever you find, and figure out where to use the items.

There are nice training areas to teach you how to do the action sequences (running down paths jumping over tree trunks is typical) and how to fight. The gameplay itself is very easy to follow - you are given clues to help move you along from location to location.

If you know younger gamers who love the Animorph series, this is a perfect game. A good level of complexity, but not incredibly challenging or gory.

As the Animorphs, you'll jump right into the Animorphs world, exploring your surroundings, acquiring DNA, and morphing, fighting controllers and aliens as you attempt to defeat the Yeerks. It is just like jumping into the book series and the TV show. Special Features * Play as the main characters of the show. Control the entire squad at all times. Tobias acts as a helper in his hawk morph form.

* 13 total Morphs using proprietary morphing technology.

* Over 9 huge and detailed 3D environments to explore.

* Multiple fast-paced action sequences. Fly, swim, run, jump and sneak past obstacles.

* Tactical Combat sequences. Turn-based style of combat with 13 animals to create a tactical combat party.

* Characters will talk to other characters.

This game is awesome! You get to play as all of the characters at the same time. Also each person can morph into many different animals. There are a ton of different levels. Some levels you walk around as Jake, Cassie, Marco, or Rachel. Then others you can morph into different animals to use their special abilities to get past tough areas. The fighting is unbelievable. I personally love the final fantasy style fighting. You get to pick what animals you want each of the guys to morph into then control them to beat up Hork-Bajir, Taxxons and all our other favorite baddies. The fighting is really cool because each animal is unique and has different moves that you can pull off. The best thing about the game is that it is really long and has many different parts. I am only half way through and I can not stop playing! From what I understand, this game is completely different then the playstation version, so you are going to miss out on one great game if you just get that one because you think they are the same.

I've just had this game for a day, but I already know it's going to be great! The graphics are really good, not fuzzy or grainy, and the characters move around easily. Some parts are quite challenging, (I've made good use of the hint button!) but very fun. I expected the battles to be very graphic, like the books, but they're not, it's not a game about blood and guts, nor is it just about killing. There are puzzles as well as the fighting scenes, and a lot of races against the clock. It's really good! I definitely recommend it to Animorphs fans, as well as people who want a fun, challenging game to play!

I just have one little question. In Chapter Two, the rooftop action scene, how do you jump up from the area following the the three fans to the building above it? I can't get it! If anyone knows, could they please post it here for me? Thanks so much!

This game is awesome! You can be Jake, Marco, Cassie, and Rachel. There are a couple flaws in this game, and this is one: you can't be Ax or Tobias, although Tobias makes his appearance in the game to look out for you. There are lots of levels, if you want to call them levels, and can aquire diferent morphs for each person. And, of course, the Yeerk pool and Yeerks make their apperance! Here's flaw number two: when your battling, four or three (and one time, FIVE) creatures spread across Visser Three, Taxxons, and Hork-Bajirs will line up and you four Animorphs are on the other side. But, these flaws are minor, and this game is awesome for Animorphs fans. On a final note, the graphics are so good, they require a graphics accelerator to handle them!

This game is absolutely amazing! It gives you plenty of hints(by hitting the "h" key) and is a great game. There is violence, but no blood, gore, or bodies. The screen is extremly detailed, and you can move around all the characters at once. Ax isn't in the game, but Visser Three is. I spent 5 hours sraight on the game, and I still wasn't finished, so this game does take a while, but the ending is AMAZING! I won't tell you what the ending was like, so you'll just have to play it yourself.

i just got through downloading the pc game demo of animorphs from thier homepage. the demo was so good that i'd decided to get the real game on the next day. once i put the cd in i was blasting with adventure. on the first board they gave you the basic rules and you had your first battle with the hork-bajjir. Animorphs know the secret is an ausume game for everyone. that's why i give it five thumbs up. p.s. it never gets boring. sincerly ricky

THIS IS GREAT I ONLY HAVE THE THE DEMO BUT MY FANTASTIC DAD BOUGHT THE GAME .I LEARNED THAT IN A BATTLE PRESS 0 AND ENTER AND YOU CAN DO AN A ATTACK THAT COULD KILL VISSER 3

REMEMBER<TOGTHER WE FIGHT>

Animorphs, Know the Secret is SO COOL! Even though I've only got the demo, I know this game is a winner. You can do whatever the characters in the books can do even though there are one or two mistakes. One of the mistakes is the fact that Rachel morphs the gorrilla (which is Marco's best morph). But hey, who cares? I think that the battles are especially cool and intense, particually against loads of Hork-Bajir because it is easier than you'd expect to get killed.

This game is one of the best games I have EVER played before. It has great action, an awsome story line, and is fit for any age groop. I suggest you order it today!
