Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

This is an action adventure game based on the characters from the book and TV series. Earth is being taken over by an alien race called the Yeerks, who are using cockroach-like bugs to control human minds. Visser Three, leader of the bad guys, uses a weapon with an ultra-powerful crystal that explodes and shatters reality. Players' task is to lead the Animorphs, a group of animal-morphing teenagers, in their quest to save Earth by piecing reality back together. Game play consists of jumping over obstacles, collecting coins, and morphing into an animal to fight off aliens. Despite nice quality graphics and smooth action, the game can get pretty frustrating. Also, getting past some of the obstacles requires precise timing, which younger children generally can't provide. Testers told us that in spite of their frustration, they want to see what happens as the game unfolds. All of these kids (aged 10 to 14) would buy the game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rachel, Jake, Cassie, and Marco really come to life!, January 12, 2003

It's great. Although it is a platform game that is basically side-scrolling (very little 3-D action) it is really fun. But I guess you have to be a fan of the best-selling book series to get into it and understand it. But it's great. The voices are great and the animation is great. They got the morphs down packed and K.A. Applegate should be proud. I love the game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Animorphs, June 16, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Animorphs: Shattered Reality (PS1) (Video Game)

First of all I love the Animorphs books. Though I didn't like the way it ended. I read all of them. I did love all the action and comedy that was told very well. I loved the fact that there was going to be a video game. I was worried that it would be like the TV show which I thought was terrible. It thankfully was like the books. Great animation in the movies. They showed what before I could only see in my mind. It also showed hork-bajar tougher than andalites fixing a problem with the books. The levels had good graphics. They were fun and chalenging with lots of action. Now for the problems with the game. You didn't get to play as Ax or Tobias. There were not enough levels and they all took place on earth. Many of the aliens you fight never were in the books and made no sense. The biggest problem is you can't morph at will. The game morphs for you. Why are you always jumping around as a human instead of morphing bird.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Animorphs: Shattered Reality (PS1) (Video Game)

As a fan of the animorphs book series I was a bit disappointed with the new animorphs game for playstation<shattered reality>.Although the game kept the player interested it didn't quite give justice to the animorphs story and lacked a certain ingredient to make the game complete.I was disappointed to find out that the player could not choose when they wanted to morph. The graphics were good though.Although it wasn't as good as I had expected I still enjoyed playing it and would not discourage anyone from buying it.I encourage buyers to get information on the game and understand what it includes before purchasing it in a hope that future buyers will not be disappointed if it doesn't have what they thought.
