The classic comic strip character Garfield is back – just as fat, lazy and lovable as ever! The cynical orange cat loves lasagne, coffee, and his remote control as well as his owner, the long-suffering Jon Arbuckle and the sweet but dumb dog Odie. One evening just before bed time Garfield goes on one of his beloved eating benders. That night he faces the consequences as he endures a night full of strange dreams. These dreams and, in some case, nightmares, take Garfield and the player on 9 unique adventures based on the cat's 9 "lives"!

Garfield and His Nine Lives is a simple platformer that may entertain younger players with its colorful graphics and recognizable characters. However, the repetitive gameplay, clunky controls, and lack of challenge make it a forgettable experience for most.

Despite having the same name as a Garfield comic compilation and a tv special based it, this game has nothing to do with either one of those.

Most likely the best Garfield game that exists. It doesn't really have a story and the Garfield sprite is one of the better ones that I've seen. The music is very catchy and really well done. Each level has you collect a certain item or items to move on to the next level. Garfield himself just has a jump, kick, dash, and elbow smash (instead of a ground pound). The platforming is very solid and will have you break walls, break the ground, climb, and crawl under things.

The game is very short and sweet. I only played it for about an hour. It's pretty fun for the short time you play it. If you're a big Garfield fan, then you should play this. But, this is also just a very competently made licensed game in general.

If all the enemies didn't either have a small hit box or an easy projectile attack, this would be a lot more decent but every time you lose a life it's straight back to the beginning and man does that get annoying

Good level design, nice graphics, and a kick-ass OST make for a fun but cool time waster
