4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for the whole family., February 14, 2003

By A Customer

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

A well designed and entertaining game for the whole family, with a great sense of slapstick.

This is a good alternative to VirtuaFighter, Tekken, and Dead or Alive, for the younger set as well as adults looking for something different. Playing very similar to the Dreamcast hit-series PowerStone, its simplified controls and interactive environments keep everyone entertained. It makes a great game for non-gamers, and those looking for something a little lighter.

The PS2 graphics are amazing, and reminds me of the 5 star "Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider" for the PS1 in terms of its quality and visual sense of humor. Floods, avalanches, and other wacky events constantly interrupt the fight, forcing gamers to stay on their toes. And, there are plenty of unlockable characters to bring you back for more.

As a dad who plays his fair share of "M" rated games after his kids go to bed, it is nice to see some quality efforts made for the younger crowd. I am a little surprised it is rated "Teen" - they should have appealed the rating to get an "E".

The only criticisms I have are with the high difficulty level, and the fact that it should have been designed for 4 players. Otherwise it is a great buy, especially if you find it in the discount bin.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings, November 13, 2003

By A Customer

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

Pros:

Interactive and fun battle environments
There are flames, sharks, and avalanches just to name a few
Characters
Includes a number of the characters you would expect to see and have always wanted to control
Weapons and Damage
The weapons are straight out of the series and the damage they inflict can sometimes be very humorous

Cons:

Menu System
One of the worst menu systems I have ever seen. There is very little help, very little interactivity, its as though it were just an afterthought
Attacks
There are very few attacks and nothing special to them. You can pick things up, punch things, and kick things, but that is it
AI
The AI opponents run around trying to pick things up...it seems like that is all they really want to do and yet it can still be difficult because when you hit them down you can't keep hitting them...temporary invulnerability
Arena Space
The arenas are much too cramped for the speed at which the characters are able to move...it doesnt allow for much in the way of strategy

Suggestions: Buy it used or rent it...not worth more than $15

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, June 22, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

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

This is a fun game for children about 5 to maybe 13 or 14 and I don't see really any reason that it should be rated Teen.

You can only be Tom and Jerry at the beginning, but you can unlock Tyke, Spike, Butch, Nibbles, Duckling, Eagle, Lion, Robot Cat, and Monster Jerry. The controls are pretty simple, you press triangle to punch, square to kick, X to jump, circle to pickup and drop items, R1 to block, and R2 and L2 at the same time to taunt and use your berserk.

I am 12 and love this game, but don't think that many teenagers over 14 would like this game that much.
