5.0 out of 5 stars A solid gaming experience, June 11, 2001

This review is from: Fur Fighters: Viggo's Revenge (Video Game)

All things considered, this is probably my favorite PS2 game so far. It's a fantastic 3rd person, 3D shooter with game play that might remind you of the N64 game "Jet Force Gemini". The graphics are a quantum leap over the Dreamcast prequel. The PS2 has a new, "cartoon" look that really is quite amazing. The still screen shots can't do it justice. You need to see it in action. It really feels like you are walking around in the stark, minimalist world of an old-time cartoon. The control is just great. It takes a while to get used to, but once you do, it really clicks. Both analog sticks are usied for walking and looking, respectively. The D-pad switches guns and the shoulder buttons fire and jump. That's it. Brilliant in its simplicity. It felt a little odd at first, but it has "look-spring", meaning that your looking-direction returns to normal when you release the "look" stick. This is exactly the sort of thing that would have made games like "Unreal" and "Red Faction" more playable. I also find it a lot easier to get you bearings in the 3rd person POV. The music and sound effects are a nice touch, really imerssing the gamer in the cartoon world. The characters are genuinely funny, becuase despite the fact that they are plush animals, they take themselves very seriously. It really is one of the funnier games I've played. In a sense, this game has it all. Some of the best graphics on the system, great control, cool weapons, a pretty long quest (you won't beat this in a weekend)and TONS of secrets and cheats. But, you might be turned off by the silly style and look. I'd imagine it's going to be love or hate. Despite the game's merits, some gamers will not be able to get into the childish style of the game and will wind up missing out on an original, wonderful take on the shooter/adventure genres.

I had this on the Sega Dreamcast but couldn't quite get into it. Call it the "dreaded" DC controller meets "subpar" visuals. But Acclaim and Bizzare Creations have really done it on PS2. This game is unusually stunning but at the same time unnervingly difficult. The game with its cartoon "cel-shaded" looks may give the wrong impression, this game is tough. Not one for real little kids; unless they stay in the BEAUTIFUL Fur Fighters Village where all is safe. Fur Fighters on the PS2 also has a delicious sense of humor (read the various signs and billboards posted around the city, FUNNY!) I took time away from the game (hehe, partly because I'm stuck!) to check the reviews and to my surprise this game had 2 additional reviews with 5 stars! In a world being swept away by the seriousness of Gran Turismo 3 and Metal Gear Solid 2, it's nice to know there are others who can appreciate the slender of cartoon escapism. Buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 star game at discount price, December 10, 2001

This review is from: Fur Fighters: Viggo's Revenge (Video Game)

OK, I've put in more hours than I will admit to on GT3, and I found myself needing a change of pace. I picked up Fur Fighters because it was cheap. I haven't touched any of my other games since. FF is a completely original take on PS2 gaming. I never played it on another console, so I can't compare it to its previous editions. The graphics are fun, the action is intense, and there are so many different types of challenges to the game, you just can't get tired of it. It's a shooter, a platform, and adventure, and a puzzler. The only thing it isn't is an attempt at virtual reality, and that is what makes it an excellent change of pace for the system. Definitely worth $20-$30...I'd have gladly spent the normal $50 on it.
