Funny, but FULL of weird glitches and problems

You know, I really think that all the professional reviewers of this game couldn't have gotten more than a quarter of the way through it, or they wouldn't have given it such favorable reviews. (From what I can tell, on average, it got about 4 stars out of 5, amongst professional reviewers outside amazon.com).

In the early stages of the game, it is both very fun and very funny. Is the humor offensive? No. But it's very politically-charged and anti-corporate. It's funny to see such a strong anti-corporate message in a game developed for a SONY game system (and who makes video games anyway? Not the government!)...but hey, the anti-corporate thing sells to college kids.

I played this game to within ten minutes of the end, at which point I ran into such a severe glitch that I am unable to finish the game! I'm 10 hours into it, and I literally have less than a half an hour to go, and I have to abandon it and start the game over! Why? A cutscene that was supposed to be activated once I completed an objective never happened, and the next event was never triggered, and no matter what I do I can't GET it to trigger, and there we are. But it's typical of this game. If you play this, you'll find yourself falling through solid floors into blue nothingness, killing enemies and having parts of them (with sound effects) floating in mid-air, and getting stuck inside boxes that are supposed to be solid! And you know how you can charge up the bunny with different things? Once, I charged the bunny up with electricity, and then I got on an elevator...and the electricity remained on the ground floor when the elevator went up, but the bunny continued to bounce around as if he were electrified. I can't say it enough, this thing is chock full of TERRIBLE BUGS.

Also, you would need a doctorate in cartography to make any use of the in-game maps. It's ridiculously difficult to see where you are in relation to where you're trying to go, and panning and zooming to different parts of the maps is badly controlled and awkward. You will CONSTANTLY find yourself trying to complete objectives with no idea where you need to go or what you need to do. Towards the end of the game, you have to backtrack through EVERYWHERE you have been so far without any guidance as to what you should be doing.

I was really looking forward to this game before I got it. I thought it would be funny and different. What I got was a glitchy platformer that is so frustrating to play that it makes you want to throw your ps2 out the window, and which contains a STUPID political message. Rent, do not buy.

CUTE!

This game is too cute for words! On some sites they say that this game is not for everyone and is offensive, but I think it's GREAT that there is a game out where animal test subjects not only escape, but are on a mission to free all the animals and put the company out of business! Freeing the animals there, from hamsters to monkeys to eels is part of each mission. Along the way, you beat up evil humans and break stuff. When you break stuff, it calculates the damage you're causing the company! The weasel, Spanx is adorable and so is Redmond the bunny. Spanx uses Redmond as a weapon because they are chained together, but Redmond doesn't get hurt(cartoon style). Instead of losing a life, you get "caught". The characters are funny and they even mention PETA. The game itself is platform and there are many puzzles to figure out. I have only had it(I rented it) for a day and a half and I love it. I'm going to buy it and the strategy guide! The box really should have better cover art, something cuter, colorful and clean. It gives you the wrong impression of the game. I haven't loved anything this much since Spyro!
BUY THIS GAME and get out there and start attacking those evil humans. This isn't a kid's game, but with supervision, definitly sends the right message to them!
I hope they make a sequel, but how can they? Hmmm...

kinda junky

featuring very few enemies, you'll find yourself running to deactivate something most of the time. there are only around 40-50 enemies in the game, and compare that to ratchet and clank's 100s

"Omigod! It's the guy from the movie trailers!" One of the many quotes that are in Whiplash that made me crack up. This twisted platformer puts you in the place of Spanx, a Weasel that got electrical testing, and Redmond, a rabbit with hairspray that made him indestructable. The two are chained together and Spanx gets to whip Redmond around. You'll crack up in the first five minutes with Redmond griping about stuff (getting whipped around by a crazed weasal isn't so bad),hamster cannons,chimps that beat up scientest,and obese guards that "Remember the Aleemo". And thats just the first level! For fans of Earthworm Jim, and everyone else!

Whiplash rocks

Whiplash is a hilarious, fun, challenging game for the ages. The humor of the rabbit and weasel is enough to sending you to saying the game rocks. And the challenges is an adventurous journey. So Me and my siter both think this game is the best of all times!!!!

Good old family fun game!

Sure its not the best graphic PS2 has to offer but its still fun and funny. My wife bought the game to play it on our sons PS2 and I thought the idea was kinda corney at first but once we started playing with it it turned out to be fun and I can see how some of you serious gammers wouldnt wanto put it on the best sellings list because of the antics and graphics of the game but if you looking for something family oriented, fun and funny then Whiplash is the one for you.

incredible game - couldn't stop playing...

Whiplash takes the best parts of the Platform genre and layers in some really clever new twists. Combine that with some of the coolest characters and genuinely funny story and you've got a winner!

I quote this game in my daily speech it's so hilarious.

I must start by saying that Whiplash's humor may completely leave some people clueless. Think in the style of Space Ghost/ATHF/Sea Lab/Animaniacs/Spike & Mike stuff. Some of the jokes are incredibly random, but I love that stuff. Me and my buddies grab some food and take turns playing through the game looking for the next cutscene or humorous event. Gameplay is entertaining too, it really grabs the child in me that wants to create chaos by swinging an unbreakable bunny at everything. My buddies leave to work and school or wherever, and when they come back they're disappointed that I've played hours into the game without them. So I'm constantly playing the game over, or watching it again, and it's just as funny if not funnier the second time around. PEANUT BUTTER! lol

Great Game But For The Glitches

"Whiplash" is a truly entertaining and creative game. The graphics are detailed and the sound effects, including the voice work is top-notch and quite amusing. The controls are easy to learn and there are plenty of areas to explore to keep the gamer's interest.

That was the good, now for the bad: This game is so filled with glitches that the frustration factor is off the scale. It locks up constantly and you are left resetting time and time again. This problem totally ruins the game. Rent it before buying.

READ THIS FIRST!!! Then make your decision....

FIRST OFF, I HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME YET.
Second off, I rated this game based on what its average rating was in the first place, in order to keep from changing its status.

THE ONLY REASON I AM WRITING THIS NOW IS SO YOU MAY REALIZE THAT THIS GAME IS RATED 'T' FOR TEEN.

**NOT THE 'E' FOR EVERYONE THAT THE PRODUCTS PICTURE SHOWS.**

I will write another review after I have had some time to play the game, and decide if it is appropriate for my 2 kids (8yrs, and 11yrs).
