Garfield the search for Pooky

The game is great fun. The service from Amazon was not! They offered $10.00 off for being the last game in stock and then didn't honor the $10.00 off and refused to do anything about it. Next time I'll buy my game from someone else!

Ugh. Please pass this game up!

This is the worst Garfield game I have played. You have to collect mice because they have stolen Pooky, but the mice don't put up any fight at all. You collect one mouse, take it to the cage, get another mouse, take it to the cage. It's the same thing throughout the whole game, but they switch it up so you have to take Odie to a hole and have him dig. The game play is exactly the same though. Very annoying, very repetitive. If you want a good game for the DS, Garfield's Nightmare is good. A good game on the Game Boy Advance is Garfield and His Nine Lives. This game should be passed up because it really is HORRIBLE. Even after I read the reviews, I still purchased it from Game Stop and thankfully I bought it used and I took it back and got my money back. The negative reviews are right! Bad!

Like the pie to Garfield's face, this game is KERSPLAT!

I am a HUGE fan of Garfield. I have read EVERY single comic strip of Garfield, since day 1 it has been out. I recieve emails on Garfield comics everyday, since it updates everyday with one comic strip. When I saw this game, I thought this would be the cutest game, and perhaps fun. My boyfriend and I tried it out, and we thought it was the DULLEST game out there. It was no fun at all. All you do is collect things and put into cages and make sure you eat things. The jumps he does are HORRIBLE. It is either over-simplistic, or just plain lame. I was obviously very disappointed in this game, coming as one big fan of Garfield's. I immediately sold it back to EB games.. I didn't even want to wait for ebay bids--I wanted it off my hands ASAP. This game? DON'T BUY IT!

Goodie! And here's the GARFIELD GAME history!

This is the first garfield game for gameboy advance! I bet if I get this for christmas, I'll play it every half hour!
I'm serious here, even if the price is high for this game, you still should buy it, because it looks really fun!

This game is fun to play! You are searching for pookie, the mice have stolen it! First level you have to catch all the mice in the house before john lets you out then the next level your outside in the yard with odie digging up the yard to see if the mice buried him the the yard! You do have opticals in you way to get through in the first level it's bees in the second it's butterflies cause you have to get rid of things that will distract odie from digging!!

Just for Kids...

I'm a big fan of Garfield and Pooky, so I thought this game might be a fun way to pass the time.

Unfortunately, it's just way too easy and not a lot of fun to play. I played it for about 20 minutes and then it was up on eBay.

Basically, you play the game as Garfield- one annoying thing right from the get-go is that the intro-movie has to be manually paged through by pressing a button. I'm used to automated movies and found this to be a tad annoying.

When you finally get to the game, the first objective is to collect the mice on each level/room of the house. The levels are set up like most 2D games where it's a forward linear movement with some multi-level spots (where Garfield can jump onto platforms/shelves/etc.)

When you collect the first mouse (which is not challenging at all, since they don't run from you- you just walk right up and grab them) you have to take it back to the cage at the front or back of the house. Sounds good so far... but wait.

You then have to go find the next mouse- again, not a challenging catch- and now you have to walk ALL the way back to the cage again (which can take a few minutes depending on your position). Garfield walks pretty slow, so this process is about as boring as it gets. I understand that it wouldn't be factual to have Garfield jogging across the house, but this part of the gameplay ruined it for me.

After catching all 4 or 5 mice on the first level, you then advance to the second level (the kitchen.) Well, now you get to do it all over again. Ick. This is the point where I popped the game out of my DS.

Overall, this game might be fun for kids, but for adults expecting something a little entertaining, look elsewhere.
