Don't be fooled, Animorphs fans!

I am an Animorphs fan so I bought this game, but this game is not much like Animorphs at all. It is more like a cheap copy of Pokemon! You battle aliens and other animals with different attacks. The attacks can lower defence, lower accuracy, lower attack power, or weaken the alien. The attacks will almost always miss, so battles could go on for hours at a time! This may seem like a strategy game, but there is almost no stragtegy involved! You can morph anywhere you want and you don't even need to worry about the two hour time limit! Besides that, the game is really hard to save and the directions aren't clear. On the first level you have no idea what you are supposed to be looking for! The manual says almost nothing and the game doesn't even tell you what anything about the level! I have had this game for over a year and I still don't know what to do on the first level! Trust me, wandering around aimlessly is incredibly boring after the first few minutes! Saving is very frusturating and it takes so long it isn't even worth it! And unlike the Animorphs books, this game has a terrible storyline! Don't let the name fool you, every aspect of this game stinks!

The books are great, but the game should be burned

This RPG wannabe is not worth the money you pay for it. Once again this is one of those games you're better off burning your money on than purchasing. If you've ever wondered how bad a game could possibly be, all you have to do is play this game. Because it's just not bad, it's abyssmal. The horrible RPG set up results in you either getting killed far too easy, or not knowing what you're doing. I never thought I'd see a game that I'd actually despise with every ounce of my being. But this is one of them.

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.

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!

Not as good as the book

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.

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.

Not awful, but truly disappointing.

As a die-hard Animorphs fan, I really, really wanted to like this game. Unfortunately, the game just has too many flaws to make it worthwhile.

First, and perhaps most importantly considering the license, this game just doesn't feel or play like an Animorphs game; it plays like a fairly bad Pokemon clone that had the Animorphs license grafted onto it at a late stage of development. If you want to acquire an animal morph, do you do it by sneaking up on it in human form and touching it? No; you do it by beating the tar out of it in morph form, just like you would a Taxxon or Hork-Bajir. If you get the tar beaten out of you while in morphed form, do you die? No; you revert to human form (and must immediately morph into something else to continue the fight), and you lose the ability to ever use that morph form again, unless you can find and beat up a different animal of the same species. If you lose all of your morph forms in this way, the game is over. This isn't Animorphs, Ubi Soft; this is Pokemon--only the Pokemon games got the mechanics much, much better.

The plot isn't actively bad, but it's certainly uninspired. The graphics and sound are at least passable for a Game Boy game. But the game contains one simply unforgivable technical flaw; there's no battery backup system--instead, you must write down and re-enter sixteen-character passwords to save your progress. Hello, Ubi Soft? The 1980s are over. Please join us in the 2000s at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your cooperation.

Animorphs fans will find this game to be a major letdown, and non-Animorphs fans will probably find it simply pointless. You'd be much better served buying Pokemon Gold or Silver along with a few Animorphs books.

Don't Be Fooled!

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!

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.
