Tom's melodramatic scream, Jerry's catch-me-if-you-can attitude, Duckling's pitiful quacking voice.well, you've been warned, but my opinion is that the fun-factor takes a steady plunge as soon as the game is started.
Expect a halt from passers by, since the immediate charm is unavoidable. The initial reaction to Tom & Jerry: Fists of Furry, admittedly, entices at least a smirk. Don't smile yet, there's a catch, as I can't stress the claustrophobia that becomes so apparent after nearly an hour of playing this game in single-player mode. The levels are recognized from the cartoon these include the kitchen, the backyard, the farm, and pretty much all of the settings that you can remember from the show. The game's difficulty is of an even greater concern, but enough of this vagueness. The game starts and ends exactly the same - except at the end, you have one more character unlocked (out of ten). I was a bit disappointed by the confined feeling that becomes so obvious in later stages of Fists of Furry. It's a port from the console version, so it plays best when mimicking this system.
#GAME TOM AND JERRY PC PC#
PC folks are strongly advised to get a couple of game port controllers for the kids, as this game gives little to keyboard and mouse input. Sounds like the makings of a good game.Ī good console game, that is. In this case, the characters are, if you haven't guessed, the entire line-up from the Tom & Jerry series, including Tom, Jerry, Butch, Duckling, Spike, and Tuffy. fighting genre that hasn't but dominated the children's fighter on console, Tom & Jerry: Fists of Furry subtly mocks this 2D combat style with an almost simpler 3D representation. This and other factors might leave one to wonder just how much NewKidCo actually put into Fists of Furry. The sound bytes were in good quality (meaning if they were taken directly from the cartoons, I couldn't tell), but there is absolutely no music. I will say that I played the game with several others and got no disappointing remarks about the primitive graphics from any of them. The graphics aren't impressive, but then do they need to be? The cartoon's simple colors were merely mapped onto polygons and shipped as is. Now, we get to see the grey kitty get the upper hand every once in a while. The ancient battles between cat and mouse were finally made for our video gaming pleasure by NewKidCo - developed for the N64, and now a year later its been ported to PC. Televisions for decades have tuned into the cartoon that many children (and adults) have acclaimed as their favorite: Tom & Jerry.
