4.0 out of 5 stars TONS OF FUN AND COOL GRAPHICS., November 14, 2000

By A Customer

This is a good game for everyone, especially for Tom and Jerry Fans. This game is really a good choice because it is very funny, and have very cool graphics. You have to help Jerry to not get chased by Tom doing a lot of crazy stuff like the famous mouse tramp in Tom's tail or cutting Tom's mustach. It's worth the money you'll spend on this game. Don't hesitate to buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tom & Jerry on the Nintendo 64, March 15, 2001

By	retrowens (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a Tom & Jerry game with all the characters from the cartoon such as Tom, Jerry, Spike, the duckling, etc., so it's just a game made for kids right? WRONG! Even though it is a game that will appeal to mostly kids who like watching the Tom & Jerry cartoons, this game can be fun for anybody who likes playing unique fighting games from time to time. It's unique because its main fighting moves don't involve punching, kicking, and special powers. You can punch and kick, but it's the weakest way to fight against your opponent. The main thing you do to defeat your enemies in this game is to throw items such as boxes, chairs, bombs, tomatoes, and even a washer at your opponent. Anytime your enemy throws something at you, you can either run for your life, duck, or catch it and throw it back at them. You can also kick an item across the floor, and there are graphical effects in the environments that can hurt you such as fire and falling pots. Not to mention that there are powerups to help you out in the form of a yellow question mark, such as invisibility, contagious measles, double the power, etc.

The fighting arenas consist of places you've seen in the cartoons themselves such as an alley, the kitchen, a farm, etc. There are 10 levels in all, some of which you must earn by making your way through the single player game. "Tom & Jerry: Fists of Furry" is a lot of fun, especially going up against a friend, but it's not perfect. One of the bad things about it is that there are only 2 playable characters to begin with: Tom and Jerry. To earn the other players you have to beat the game over and over in single player mode. That takes me to my only other complaint: For the most part, the challenge is well-balanced, but even on easy mode, most of the bosses, especially the invisible Tom, are extremely hard. This means that it can get real frustrating, but it's still a lot of fun and once you get all or most of the characters, it'll always be fun to play against someone else if you're in a fighting mood.

"Tom & Jerry: Fists of Furry" is a fun game and it's easy to learn and get used to the simple controls. Just try not to get real frustrated while you're playing the one-player game.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Brainer.... :-), December 28, 2000

By	"franticgamer" (Lost in Cyberspace ;-)) - See all my reviews

Blood, guts, gore? Ha! That's exactly what you won't see in this great title. It's more like, squeaks, barks, quacks, pops, bangs, and all those other great sounds you'd expect to hear in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. This game stays true to the show from the slapstick reactions to the weapons and things used to overcome your opponent. The gameplay is fast and furious, guaranteeing that you'll stay hooked and keep those fingers banging on the buttons. The level of challenge is very good no matter what setting you put it on. The characthers (I beleie nine or so in all) are funny and directly from the show. They even include their own pre-fight taunts! At the end of however many carachters you face there is a sort of boss. The boss is something like a giant Jerry or an Invisible Tom, depending on which characther you play with and are very challenging. This title is great for any age from experienced gamers to little tots. (Well, 4 or 5 at least.) If your thinking about buying this game and don't know if you should... It's a no brainer! Don't hesitate and buy it! It's definitley worth the money!
