Despite what you might have heard this game is a must if you like Disney Cartoons and simple Jump And Runs. While the graphics look a bit dated and the sound is not always fitting, the gameplay and the funny main character make "Going Quackers" an instant classic. Within seconds you know exactly what to do and Donald's reaction is always on time. Especially casual gamers and younger players will enjoy this game. My girlfriend, who isn't interested in videogames at all, played this one for hours at a time and although I would consider myself to be a pro-level-gamer I also enjoyed beating some of the bosses. While "Going Quackers" doesn't offer any real challenges for the controller-veteran it is still fun to watch Donald on his mission to save Daisy. Yes, it is a "Crash Bandicoot"-clone, but one well-made. The low points are the absence of any cool extras. There is one item that turns Donald into Super-Donald, but if you expected the beloved cartoon character to change in appearance during that process, you will be disappointed. He merely becomes invincible for a couple of seconds. The gameplay is classic stuff. Star Collecting for points and bonus-lives and runnung through 20 levels in 2D and 3D perspectives is pretty much all there is. The funny bosses might take a few attempts to beat, but after about five hours most people should see the ending sequence. After that there are only time challenges left and even those won't last very long. A rental for most but a must-have for Disney fans and younger players.

My 5 year old boy absolutely loves this game. We just rented it, and he's been playing it nonstop. It's just hard enough for him.I don't understand all of the bad reviews. I even love to play this game!!We have lots of fun with it. And it's not SO easy that ir's boring. It's just challenging enough.

My son is 8 1/2 years old. Luckily we rented this game before we bought it. He finished the entire game in about 3 1/2 hours of playing time.

If your kid is good at these games, rent before you buy.

I'm a big Donald Duck fan, which is why I like this game. So, take this review with a grain of salt. The game itself is fun, but not super great. It's not a hard game, but sometimes the camera views can make the game harder than it is. Donald himself looks, and acts really cool. When he gets hit watch out, cause he's going to get mad. But, what else is new? My cousin and I found this game to be more fun than we expected it to be. However, I think that if your not a big Donald Duck fan, you might not like the game too much. It's not super hard, but it can be fun. I suggest that if your not familiar with the game that you rent it first. I did that, and found it fun enough to want to buy it. Now I return to it every once in a while when I want to have a good time with Donald Duck.

First things first. DO NOT BUY THIS FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS A KIDS GAME. The entire design of the game is for kids. An adult will finish this game in 3-4 hours. There is almost no difficulty for adults. For kids, jumping and hitting will get a tiny bit difficult if your kids are 5 and under. All of that said, the game really does nothing bad. It is a pretty fun little romp through donald's world with cameo's of various villans and Donald relatives. Decent platforming.

Bottom Line: Is it fun? Ok mindless fun for an adult. Extasy for a young child. Will I keep it? My kids already beat it. Is it for kids: Definately.

How can anyone review it if it hasn't been released? Its realease date is March 22 2002, so you should wait. On PS2 its amazing and Game Cube is better than PS2 so why shouldn't it be good on Game Cube?

I got this game when I was 7. It did not take me long to beat the game. It is very fun, but level three is hard.

Love it! I love Disney games and I just had to pick it up. It looks like a Crash Bandicoot look-a-like, but it is still fun to play. I'm thinking on getting the Dreamcast version.

This is game is fun for kids but can be diffucult for younger kids to figure out. There are no helpful directions on how to play any of the levels and the passwords don't always work. We love watching Donald have his tantrums and some levels are fun but I would say it was for kids older than 6 yrs.

OK, when this first came out for the n64 probably only like 34 people bought it. UbiSoft could've left it at that, but they redid the graphics added a minigame and rereleased it for the GCN, thereby wasting more precious pages in Nintendo Power than they already did with the n64 version. I think this rivals Crazy Taxi for GCN as holder of the World's Suckiest Port Award®, hopefully not NP's newest voting category when they come out with the 2002 Nintendo Power Awards.
