    Just ignore all the ironic positive reviews and DO NOT by any means play this game (except for emulation purposes). I could say so much about this that its not even funny. Besides, the movie of the same name this was based off was already mediocre to begin with, as with every film ever made based off the Garfield comic strip series.

    Some reasons include this game being near unplayable    Just ignore all the ironic positive reviews and DO NOT by any means play this game (except for emulation purposes). I could say so much about this that its not even funny. Besides, the movie of the same name this was based off was already mediocre to begin with, as with every film ever made based off the Garfield comic strip series.

    Some reasons include this game being near unplayable in terms of its controls on some of the levels, the game is so unfair in the platforming stages that one HIT kills Garfield and forces the player to start all over from the beginning of the level with not a SINGLE checkpoint present, the levels themselves are incredibly lackluster, the scoring system is complete ass, and the dancing level is straight up unplayable unless you search up a tutorial on how to do it.

    This game is so bad, it makes me wish I tossed the game out the car window I was in when I played it upon losing the studio level for the millionth time.

    No, in fact, I hate it so much I wish to track down every remaining copy of this game in existence (spare my original copy to remind myself of how far gaming had fallen since then) and destroy them all (I already bought 1 more copy of this game in my possession for this purpose).    … Expand

    Some decent variety in the mechanics and a fairly amusing premise aren’t enough to save Garfield Gets Real from its monotonous and absurd level design. Very young devotees may find it a briefly amusing adventure, but this really feels more like an advertisement that someone is expecting you to pay money for.

    The music is simple, though repetitive and the graphics are actually pretty good compared to the game play. If I was a little kid and my parents bought me this game, I’d get a few good days of play out of it before trading it in for a well made game… or any game really.

    Garfield Gets Real isn't a good game and is one of the worst licensed titles I've played this year so DS owners, Garfield fans and gamers in general will do well to avoid this one. There's nothing remarkable or enjoyable about the gameplay, so you should avoid this one at all costs and not give into the budget price.
