Garfield (2004)
Makes Garfield Caught in the Act look like a teddy bears picnic
I would like to list all the ways this game absolutely sucks but I would go way over the limit. I'll stick to the most common ones:
1. Glitches galore Tornadoes that come out of Garfield's every single orifice, controls that like to throw themselves in reverse every ten minutes, lip-sync fails. The Attic is the worst offender. Something in that room was badly programmed and the game is pretty much unwinnable. Odie likes to bump into you everywhere you go pretty much and nothing works as it should. The vacuum is at least semi-effective, that's probably the only good thing about this entire game. The VAs sound nothing like Thom Huge or Lorenzo Music (and to be quite honest I am glad none of them donated their voices to this horrible pile of crap.) It's difficult to find places for objects or even place them where they should go. Collision detection is extremely mediocre if it's there at all.
I'd buy this if you like playing half-finished games that no sane person would, else I'd just stay away.
Aladdin (1992)
Great movie to make light of
Awful, awful movie. Bought the VHS release for 50c at a thrift shop some years ago and was damned glad to get rid of it for $2. Worst animated film I have seen. The animators were quite obviously trying to save money so they took any shortcuts they could. The actors must have been paid more than the animation budget to voice this awful parody of Aladdin. A good movie to make MST3K-style commentary about on a rainy day.The production values on this also remind me of any low budget animation I've seen. The sound quality is also poor, and it is very difficult to pick up on which character is voiced by which actor/actress, even though most of us may have seen some of their other work. The idea is there, but not as well executed as you may think. Final Score: 1/10.
