Back in 2002, I saw the fist XBOX ad of my life, and it was for this single game. Later, one of my relatives bought an XBOX for me and I was happy to see this game. I quickly started playing this game and it grew on me fast. I mamaged to get to the midway point of the game without too much hassle, then the game became basically one of, iif not THE hardest games that I have ever played.



As for the concept, it is absolutely brilliant. It was very innovative to see a platformer where you control time and shoot items at enemies. The graphics and sound are very cutesy and very appealing to a child.

I wouldn't say the storyline is very original though. This cat who tends after time falls in love with a human princess in a universe under attack, and despite advice just to let the universe fall apart, he runs in and fights to save her.

The overall gameplay is also very fun. You go through a level defeating enemies with youir vaccum cleaner before 10 minutes expire. You suck items up and shoot enemies down. There is a homing system to make sure you hit the target. When you defeat all the enemies, you rush to the end of the level and get out of the area. Along the way, you pick up powerups and secrets.

There are different maps each iwth 3 levels and 1 boss and shop. After clearing a map, you advance to the very next map. You can shop at stores for powerups using money collected during levels and bosses.

The game is very original and creative, but it's too unbelievably hard after a certain point.

Overall, I would say this game is up for grabs, but DO NOT BUY IT FOR YOUR KIDS BECAUSE IT WILL FRUSTRATE THEM SO MUCH!
