Meh, at least it's good on paper. Likely never beating this one.
The Good:
- The soundtrack is really damn good, especially in the Windows version.
- Garfield and the cast of various wacky characters are animated really well, not to mention, the Glitch character has a really cool design.
- Garfield has a different outfit, and different weapons for each level. As Garfield would say, "Nice touch".
- Controls are pretty good, not the best in a platformer, but still good.
- Level design is good in most levels.
The Bad:
- Every time Garfield gets hurt, there's an animation of him getting hurt, which is fine, BUT every time this animation plays, you cannot move. Which is rather annoying at times.
- The "Catsablanca" (ha, ha) level is an absolute mindfuck on your first go, but you'll soon learn the path to get to the end.
- Most of the bosses were a bit bland. The only one that was really a challenge was the final boss.
Overall, Garfield: Caught in the Act is a good game. Not a great one, by any stretch of the imagination, but a good one. This is probably the best Garfield game I've played (which is not that high of a bar, to be honest). If you love retro platformers and love Garfield, check this one out.
