Product Description

Garfield's Nightmare is a 2.5D side-scroller that features platforming gameplay with gorgeous graphics. See your favorite fat feline, Garfield; trapped in lasagna, pizza and donut induced nightmares. A severe case of over-indulgence before bed leads to a dream so bad he can't wake up without piecing together his smashed alarm clock to free him from his fretful slumber. The goal for each level is to travel from one side of the game world to the other. In-between this, you'll need to collect various items and kill bad guys that generally pose little threat to your progression. Enemies and crazy challenges litter your path so think fast and play smart to save the day and night for Garfield. Help Garfield maintain his energy level by collecting lots of tasty food throughout the game including donuts, and of course, lasagna

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving it, October 3, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Garfield Nightmare (Video Game)

I love this game its fun and easy enough for someone who's completely horrible at games like I am to actually make it past the first level. Really good gamers will probably find this game an easy play but its so much like Mario and so much funnier in that you collect donuts and pizza that is should keep even them coming back for more. Nintendo magazine also rated it an 7.0 so I can't be the only one who thinks its fun with lasting quality.

A note for cat owners though, you might want to play the game with the cats out of the room or like me you'll end up with two kittens sitting on your lap trying to figure out how to get the injured kitten out of the funny box in your hand. It was cute but they got me killed quite a few times. ^_~

So you know, I am an adult gamer.

I was amazed how nice & colorful the graphics were. The backgrounds are pretty to look at. I've seen too many games in 2D so this game is in 3D so it was a nice change.

Garfield moves gracefully. At the beginning, they tell you how to make his moves, what to do and guide you through the level, helping you to get to know the game. You collect coins, pizza and donuts for lives. You also have to beat a boss at the end of each level.

There is absolutely no stylus usage in this game which is fine. Some games require it whereas this one doesn't. This game is 3D platformer like Yoshi's Island for the DS. There is only one direction he can go to. No confusion. Or maps to remember. (I have no sense of direction so this game is great for me) Just make Garfield go and collect items on the way from beginning to end of each level.

My sons also like the game too. (7 and 9 yrs old) So it is great for everyone. (even for adults like me who feel like playing an relaxing game) It's not highly challenging at all. A 5 year old could do it. I haven't gone far yet but I'm loving it so far!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not that BAD!!!!!, September 30, 2007

This review is from: Garfield Nightmare (Video Game)

I enjoyed this game alot. These sleeper hit type games always get released and nobody ever knows about it cause nobody ever reviews it or buys it. Well i brought it cause i thought for 19.99 you cant go that wrong. This turned out 2 be a good game and i enjoyed it alot. Its an action adventure game just like Mario. And its setup just like The New Super Mario game where its 3D characters but you only move 2D. Overall i am very pleased i brought the game and hope this helps other gamers shed some light on a game that most likely will go unnoticed.
