Twisted game

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.

Great! Funny! Bizzare!

Jak 2? Ratchet and Clank? Do they have a crazed weasel chained to an indestructible bunny bestowing havoc on an evil animal testing corporation? I think not, but Whiplash! certainly does.

So you've just been set loose in an animal testing facility after three long years of experiments, the catch is your a weasel and you have a loud mouthed bunny chained to you. What do you do? Well you destroy everything in sight! Scientists, security guards, and hazmat hunters in your way? No problem just start swinging around that bunny and presto problem solved. What better way to get back at the corporation that performed countless experiments on you? Destroy EVERYTHING! Sending them into bankruptcy and freeing lots of other animals. Just to add to the fun, a lot of the freed animals help you by attacking their
former captors. There is just something fun about beating people and the surroundings silly with a rabbit, that keeps it from ever getting old or repetitive.

The graphics are well done, by keeping a cartoony feel to the game. The animations are also very nice, and the attack animations never cease to bring a smile to my face. The sound effects are top notch, as you can hear every footstep of the maniacal weasel exploring and destroy the facility. It even has a neat background musical score, complete with 'real' elevator music. While the visual and audio effects are not especially stunning, they do compliment the humor and fun of the game fantastically.

What really makes this game great, is it is hilarious. The cinematics are at times hysterical. Many times I found myself extremely excited to trigger another cinematic, because I couldn't wait to find out what zany humor would come up next. Redmond's (the rabbit) wise cracks throughout the game are always entertaining, and they did a good job of not being too repetitive.

The gameplay is excellent, mainly because breaking things with a weasel and a rabbit never gets old. It's also very cool using the rabbit in very interesting ways (there's a couple instances involving a toilet!) to solve puzzles and progress through the game. Basically the bunny is quite an amazing creature, that is constantly tormented by the psychotic weasel in their desperate attempt to escape.

Overall, an excellent choice for purchase. There isn't another game out there like this one. So if you like to be entertained by slightly zany humor, and the idea of causing mayhem with two very unlikely heroes interests you, pick this game up.

Best game ever!

The only complaint I have about this game is the glitches. But being stubborn, I went back and saved alot, keeping a few files. If you do that, you shouldn't have any problems. It's non-stop comedy w/ Redmond the sarcastic bunny - in gameplay and during the cutscenes. The more you break, the more the damage amount goes up, so break EVERYTHING! A great message for everyone to knock out those nasty animal-testing humans. Save alligators, eels, monkeys, skunks, a chihuahua, hamsters, it never ends. Beat up security guards and scientists and stomp on them! This company needs to do a follow up -(doesn't even have to be same characters!). This is a must buy. I'd buy everyone a copy if I could!

"Omigod! It's the guy from the movie trailers!" One of the many quotes that are in Whiplash that made me crack up. This twisted platformer puts you in the place of Spanx, a Weasel that got electrical testing, and Redmond, a rabbit with hairspray that made him indestructable. The two are chained together and Spanx gets to whip Redmond around. You'll crack up in the first five minutes with Redmond griping about stuff (getting whipped around by a crazed weasal isn't so bad),hamster cannons,chimps that beat up scientest,and obese guards that "Remember the Aleemo". And thats just the first level! For fans of Earthworm Jim, and everyone else!

I quote this game in my daily speech it's so hilarious.

I must start by saying that Whiplash's humor may completely leave some people clueless. Think in the style of Space Ghost/ATHF/Sea Lab/Animaniacs/Spike & Mike stuff. Some of the jokes are incredibly random, but I love that stuff. Me and my buddies grab some food and take turns playing through the game looking for the next cutscene or humorous event. Gameplay is entertaining too, it really grabs the child in me that wants to create chaos by swinging an unbreakable bunny at everything. My buddies leave to work and school or wherever, and when they come back they're disappointed that I've played hours into the game without them. So I'm constantly playing the game over, or watching it again, and it's just as funny if not funnier the second time around. PEANUT BUTTER! lol

Demented and Twistedly Fun!

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!

Such a great game....why the glitches??

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.

Fun and funny, interesting play

I'm not much for platform games, but Whiplash definitely grabbed my attention. Most games try to be funny, but fall flat. This game is extremely rare in the humor department and had me laughing over and over again! Although the game can be quite difficult in some areas, but then again, it is definitely keeping the spirt of 'run jump and die' style games, and you will be doing A LOT of that in the later levels. Thankfully, there are plenty of free lives to find and you have ample oppertunities to get through an area before you run out of all your lives.

The artwork is definitely on the 'cartoony' side of things which is why I didn't give this game 5 stars. It's very colorful, but the textures are a little flat, but the level design makes up for a lot of that. Plus being able to destroy practically everything you see is tons of fun, and a great way to vent some anger!

This is definitely a game for anyone of any age who likes a good challenging platform game. Although younger folks might not understand some of the humorous banter, I'm sure they will get a chuckle out of all the other stuff they can catch and the weasel is just too darn funny even tho he never says a word!
