    Filled with enough chaos and wicked humor to forgive the slight reliance on platform clichés, Whiplash really is a hell of a game. With a little more polish before release, this game could have been a true masterpiece.

    It's not insta-classic material, but it is a fun game that exhibits solid gameplay and a good sense of humor.
  3. G4 TV

    Its humorous tone and extremely satisfying random destruction really make it worth playing.
  5. 1UP

    It's addictive, funny, and will make you feel more than a little sad when it's over.

    Whiplash's style takes it a long way; hell, any title with the power to make PETA smile and fume at the same time has got something going.

    There are flashes of comic genius in Whiplash, but equally as many missed opportunities. While this game is good, it narrowly misses the mark.
  8. Play Magazine
    75
    Look past some simplistic visual designs and enjoy the bright, unique style the artists have worked into Whiplash and you'll find a solid game that entertains after you've had your fill with the holiday A-lists. [Jan 2004, p.66]

The gameplay is fun, the two main charactersOne of the most underrated platforming games of all time. really deserves more love than it gets. The gameplay is fun, the two main characters are an entertaining duo. although i remember little of what the game was like, when i first played it i do remember it being great. i wish they would do a sequel or at least remaster or rerelease the game for newer consoles. :(… Full Review »
