"This game is far from a Nightmare"

INTRO
Garfield the cat is back. Not that he has made that many games, but the few that are out there aren't bad at all. This one is very nice. It is cute and adorable. I think this game is meant for Garfield fans mostly. I will be honest it is easy and fun. I think it was made like this so people can take their time, play it, enjoy it, and giggle at Garfield. This is not a hard game what so ever, even the bosses were easy except for the last one. You need to think of how to beat him.

GAME PLAY
This is an action platform game. The story is obvious here. Garfield is having nightmares and you are trapped in his world. You need to go threw 4 levels with 5 boards in each of them. So you do have plenty of board to go threw and enjoy them with Garfield. Once you cleared them you are out of his nightmare. It is not really a bad nightmare, it looks like more a cute one. All four levels are unique with it's own theme. You controls are easy you don't need the pen for this game. Your control pad moves Garfield. Then you have a jump button, and a pull or push button to move things around. Your main way of killing off creatures in your dreams is to jump on top of them or on top of their heads. So you do need some kind of good aim.

APPEARANCE
This is a great looking game. Even thou it only uses one screen as the play area it is nice looking. The other screen is your inventory area. Garfield looks just like he should look like. All the levels in this game show up really great with all their unique appearances. You can't get any better then this. After all you do expect nothing but top of the line graphics from the DS. The music and sound of this game are nice. Every level has its own music, so it does show some type of difference from the other ones. A job well done by the developers.

OVERALL
Don't know what else to really add to this game. One thing for sure if you are a Garfield fan, then this is a must have game for you. If not you still going to find fun and interesting things in this game you would expect from a Garfield game. The value of this game is great, I got it for 20 bucks new, which you can't beat for a DS game.
