GamerWeb SegaOne of those rare games that not only sucks you in, but pins you down and gives you noogies as time passes unmercifully.

Spank!Graphically the game is excellent, with crisp, clean characters and some very detailed textures.

Happy PuppyThis game is excellent, although its predictable and simple story combined with average character designs and dialogue prevent if from becoming an instant classic.
