You are everyone familiar all-mighty hungry cat called Garfield. You're somehow trapped in your TV, that's what happens with too much TV watching. Go and find all remote-control pieces to get out of that box, and check the fridge for a change.

Garfield makes the leap from the comic strip to the videogame with Garfield: Caught in the Act. One night, while watching late-night TV, the fat cat gets sucked into the television set and finds himself the star of a bizarre adventure. Now it's up to you to help our feline friend get out of this mess and back home, all before Jon wakes up! There are several different levels that will test Garfield's skills: you'll have to lead him prehistoric times in “Cave Cat,” wander the streets of “Catsablanca”, escape from “Cleofatra's Pyramids,” and survive a haunted mansion coming face-to-face with “Count Slobula”. Sharpen your claws and get ready for a wacky adventure with Garfield: Caught in the Act.

Garfield is trapped in the television and Odie and he must go through a series of magnificently created zones to get out from the disastrous television. In certain levels, you will find Odie becoming the evil character and you must attack him. Also, every level will have its own time. Example, in the beginning, it will start with the Stone Age meaning that weapons and enemies are all stone-type. Certain bosses and levels can only be got through with strategies. If not, you will probably be stuck at that particular place forever. Variety of enemies is awaiting you in each level, teamed with traps that are hazardous to Garfield. The innocent Odie will look really funny in his evil form. The game is smooth with no glitch or problems. There are also secret levels that has dozens of items for you to get to top up your lives and other things.

Garfield: Caught In The Act features:

• The comic strip favorite comes to the Genesis
• You play as Garfield the cat
• Lead him through all kinds of weird adventures
• Utilize your cat skills

Garfield has good sound effects. From the electrical buzz coming off of the possessed television set on the title screen to the “chomp chomp chomp” of the chattering teeth inside the TV set that gobbles you up everytime you, um, bite it, you'll find that the aural effects do the trick to convince you that you've entered the Garfield dimension (scary thought, huh?). Stand out sounds are the growling, grumpy old man in the window in Catsablanca, the “cheesy” landing sounds you make in Cave Cat, and the heavy breathing sounds of the tongue outstretched, resting, almost dead Garfield. You can tell that Sega's got some very talented people working in their audio departments. The music changes to fit the theme of each level.

The graphics are used nicely at every parts of the game. The colours are used in variety to make that certain place look more dangerous or scarier! Backgrounds are okay with the normal colours and other stuffs that are used in almost every action game like this. The animations are definitely superb! How Garfield moves and attacks and other enemies and characters animate is really cool!

A superb action game starring Garfield and friends! This game is definitely fun!
