Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring is a simple side-scrolling beat-'em-up featuring the iconic cat-and-mouse duo. While it captures some of the slapstick humor of the cartoons, its repetitive gameplay and uninspired level design make for a relatively forgettable experience. However, young gamers or die-hard Tom and Jerry fans might still find some enjoyment in its short length and chaotic cartoon action.
Had this game when I was a kid. Funny story, I put in a random password that came to me in a dream (6718) and the game put me in this fucked up level where Jerry was floating in space and had to run from the all-consuming green void, and I kept repeatedly dying despite my efforts, the level just seemed to go on endlessly
Scared the shit out of 5 year old me and nearly made me tell my mom to give away all my games (including my Pokemon games). I wonder how much more successful in life I'd be if that actually happened, but at least now I still own those $300 worth of Gen 1-3 Pokemon games

This is the worst beat em up I've ever played
I can't believe I wanted this game for my birthday... I liked the movie a lot, so I asked my mom for the game unknown to its quality and wow it wasn't good. Bare bones beat 'em up, with some whacked out vibes which isn't surprising considering it's from the Urban Yeti devs, yet it also has this unhinged Amiga ass soundtrack, which isn't surprising either.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind trying it again just to see how I'd truly feel about the game now. Seems like an inevitability to come across some weird games here and there, if you're at least somewhat enthusiastic about the medium.

Bruh, I hated this game as a kid.
I've been obsessed with the soundtrack for this game for a long time. It's so haphazardly manic, ambitious, barely related to the gameplay tone wise outside of being "energetic", in a broad sense. Some of the melodies go so overboard on the chiptune prog, it's awesome. Same composer as Urban Yeti^, another eclectic work of tech music genius, fitting for perhaps the only avant-garde GBA game in existence (one of very few in the general console space). Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring on the other hand is a fairly average, unfortunately licensed, just ever so slightly tweaked out, belt-scrolling beat-em-up, which only makes its auditory audacity stand out even more. Time signatures, who needs 'em.
^oh, and of course the score for the beloved Spider-Man 2 by Treyarch. Randy Wilson, highly underrated... guy.
