Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Gather around my friends for a fascinating tale about a pair of the most unlikely heroes...

It was a bright sunny day...outside. Inside the high-rise walls of the massive Genron Corporation, however, it was quite a different story. In fact, it was a very cold, dark day. For you see, Genron is a high-tech lab where innocent animals are used to test human products. Deep inside Genron lies the dreaded "Genetic Recombinator," the final destination for animal test subjects who have outlived their usefulness.

On this particular day, Spanx, a crazy, electro-shock tested weasel and Redmond, a know-it-all, makeup-tested rabbit, are chained together, thrown in a locked cage, and sent on their way to the Genetic Recombinator. The plan is to fuse them together into a new, rather freaky, half-rabbit/half weasel creature--a "Weasit" or perhaps a "Reasel."

As their lives begin to quickly flash before their eyes, a miracle happened. Somehow, Spanx and Redmond escaped from their cage at the very possible last second. Now, this weasel-rabbit duo are on the loose, attempting to break out from Genron. There's one small problem however--they're chained together.

• As Spanx, you will use Redmond (much to his dismay), as your tool and weapon of mass destruction.
• Defend yourself by using Redmond in hilarious ways including the Flaming Fur Ball, Radioactive Rabbit, Hare Clog and more.
• Demolish everything in the company from computers and test equipment to soda machines, plants and treadmills. Break it all and you'll drive the evil corporation into bankruptcy.
• Knock out the cruel lab staff with loads of super-charged attack combos.
• Release other caged animals that are being used to test new people products such as the Self-Operating Table and "Hair-Go" Hair Removal Kit. Once free, they will help you fight.
• Battle a band of baddies including a crazy cafeteria lady, a dirty surgeon, crooked rent-a-cops, and of course, the demented company president.
• Use Redmond to chain whip attackers, to swing over hazards, or to helicopter to areas unreachable by foot.
• Destroy security cameras, sneak around laser sensors, and access areas too small for humans to avoid detection by the ruthless security crew.
• In your attempt to flee this gigantic building, you will encounter a genetic research lab, a toxic sewer system, fancy executive offices, and much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Demented and Twistedly Fun!, October 12, 2003

This review is from: Whiplash (Video Game)

First of all, this is a completeley original game. Don't be fooled by it's dark and deranged outer shell, because Whiplash is a fun and inovative platforming/action game. The story goes like this. There is a evil, huge mega corporation that use animals to test new human products. It just so happens that Spanxs the weasel,( who was experimented on with electricity, ) and Redford the rabbit ( who was experimented on with beauty products, ) are chained together and are about to become fused together for the rest of thier lives. Yet they escape the grap of the scientists, and must elude capture at all costs, as well as free all of the other test animals. The only catch? They're chained together.
It does sound wierd, but it is completley addictive and fun. You use Redford, who is indestructable because of a hairspray test that gave him an impeneterable shield, as a whip and can give him many funny and useful powerups. These include on that inflates, another that lets him electrify gaurds and other enimies, plus at least a dozen more. Or you can simply whip him about. The graphics, while not the best, are very unique and have a griddy/saturday morning cartoon look about them-not bad at all, and they stay at a very constant framerate. The sound is great, with a mix of bizzare sound effects and catchy music. The game is however not as long as it could have been, roughly about ten to fifteen hours depending on how good you are at it, but nevertheless, it is still well worth the forty dollars. I recommend Whiplash to everyone, so don't miss this clever and original game when it comes out the seventh!

4.0 out of 5 stars Such a great game....why the glitches??, July 11, 2004

This review is from: Whiplash (Video Game)

This game is sooo good. Right up there with Spyro! Very funny especially the bunny Redmond who is your sarcastic weapon. Problems started for me when I started to collect the security cards. The blue balls in the ceiling are supposed to drop so you can swing up and they never did. I started over, and this time, in "waste", the second lock to the incerator wouldn't open even after i pushed the button. I started over again and when it happened again, i kept hiting the button and finally the incinerator opened. Finally, I got to tha part where you race to turn off the alarms. There are 3. I forgot where the third one was and din't reach it in time. It started me over with one to go, but no matter how many times I pushed it, it didn't work. Then, times runs out and life over. That's when I got angry. I see that this happened to someoen else, one other person in the reviews. I had been wondering if my game was defective. I am going to e-mail the company. I REALLY love this game and I am sad that I can't finish it without glitches.

This game is so bizarre! I got it because I liked the cover, but I have to say it's the funniest game I've played in a long time... The writing and story are great, the gameplay is addictive and fun, the object of the game is to break stuff and bring down the man! I wish I could give half points, because it looks like the game could have used some polish, but it's still really fun and well worth forty bucks.
