Not Worth Your Time Or Money....

I found this game quite by accident when looking for something to buy and play at Circuit City. Bought it, took it home, and started to play, thinking "Oh cool, I'll be able to morph into animals and fight aliens!"
I wish I had never came across this game.
The first bad thing about this game is the battle system. It mimicks Pokemon in every way, and when you lose the fight in a morph, you have to switch to a new morph. When all your morphs "die," you lose. Also, if you lose a morph, but win the battle in the end, you have to acquire that morph again. Also, attacks have a tendency to miss, so battles can last up to 15 minutes or more.... Another thing is that in order to acquire a morph, you have to fight the animal and defeat it before you can acquire and become it, although this is not true with some animals.
Another bad feature of this game is the fact you have little to no idea what you have to do. There are no tips or explinations on what to do, so you basically have to run around and figure things out for yourself.
Yet another thing is you cannot save your game and instead have to rely on passcodes to continue.
The last thing is the difficulty. I played this game when I was 14, and had the hardest time with it, not even able to beat the first Hork-Bajir I came across. (And I play games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Legend of Zelda, Golden Sun, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Tales of Symphonia! So I know it's not me, it's the game level.)
I'm telling you all right now, DON'T BUY THIS GAME. It's not worth the headache.
Entertainingly HORRIBLE!

This game was a real disappiontment for Animorphs fans. The graphics are smudgy and in the first level, you just wander around aimlessly.
Disappionting!

I am a big Animorphs fan, and as an Animorphs fan, I tried to like this game, I really did, but it was just AWFUL! The plot is fairly cheesey, the sounds and graphics are bad, even for Game Boy, and the game itself is just like a bad Pokemon game with Animorphs slapped on the cover.
Don't be fooled! Don't waste your money on this game, buy a few Animorphs books instead. This game is a WASTE OF MONEY!
Animorphs, great game.

This game wasn't very good, for one thing you couldn't save which you would think you could if you've played the games. the battles are quick and pointless and you can only go to the next level if you do every thing one way. All and all the game is not worth the money.
A great game!

This game is worth the amount of money! Even though I think it could have been better with graphics, it was still a worth-while game to buy and play!
Pointless

I really don't like this game! It's graphics are really OK, but the plot is very pointless. You go looking for....... well you don't even know. I 've had the game for about 1 year, and every time I pick it up, feeling I can beat the level, I can't. It's a real waste. Like I said, I'd give the graphics about a 4, but that's the only good thing about it that I can find.

My kids are fans of the series and do enjoy the game very much. Don't expect next generation graphics or play here, this is a typical gameboy color offering, it would be nice if they made and Animorphs for Advance, but for now, this is the best there is.
The worst game I've ever played.

This is the worst game I've ever played. I am a huge fan of the Animorphs books, however, the makers of this game obviously did not bother to read any of the book series. This game is a Pokémon rip off where you collect different morphs but leaves out important features such as experience points. This game is an insult to the intelligence of Animorphs fans and K.A. Applegate's talent as a writer.
Beware Of This Game!

I am an Animorphs fan, so I bought this game thinking it would be fun. I was wrong. The directions aren't clear so you don't know what you have to do in the first level, which is the level I am stuck on. I don't know what I have to discover or do to get to the next level. I can't do anything on it and it has become boring. Don't buy the game if you want to be entertained! Beware, Animorphs fans, beware!
