This review is from: Tom and Jerry: War of the Whiskers (Video Game)

This game does suck in the beginning, but doesn't when you get all the characters and stages. This game is nothing like Super Smash Brothers Meele, because you hardly have any room to run and when a character punches you, you lose the weapon! How disapointing! The game is super easy and is more designed for children. I unlocked every character and stage within about 3 hours! This game is a total iffy, so I am just warning adults not to buy this item if you are an expert player ( Never mind the Teen rating, there is hardly any rough violence in it!) but for kids, this is an excellent game.

This review is from: Tom and Jerry: War of the Whiskers (Video Game)

Tom and Jerry War of the Whiskers is actually a cute game that has the T rating, although you would never notice it. It is also released on both systems: GameCube and PS2. Of Course, both versions are the same.

The Pros:

WOTW (War of the Whiskers) is a fun fighting game that allows you to play as characters from the beloved 'Tom and Jerry' series (You start out with only Tom and Jerry, and unlock the others as yo go) There are also different areas based on the series, (With cute area names such as "Sinking Feline") and 75 different weapons to use. You can customize everything including the difficultly of the game, which increases on its own pace eventually. The graphics are cute and cuddly, and smooth as the series. The voices are fairly done aswell, and the enviroments of the areas have nice detailings. There are also 2 bosses in this game : Monster Jerry and Robot Cat. Both eventually become playable in any mode except for the main mode.

The Cons:

Although there are 75 different weapons, they all have basically the same effect and power. Also, the characters you unlock are basically skins of the orignal characters ("Spike" and "Tyke" for example, and "Tom" + "Butch"...they all have the same moves and movement styles) There is also absolutely no replay value here: Once you've went through the main mode and unlocked all the characters, there is basically nothing to do but play 2-player mode with a friend. The challenging difficultly can sometimes be annoying, also. Be sure to set the game in easy mode during your first play-through.

You should only get this game if you are a fighting-game type fan, and if you are a big fan of the classic "Tom and Jerry" series.
