Maki: Paw of Fury

I mean, it's your standard beat 'em up, and that's all there really is to say about this game. There's nothing that particularly stands out about it good or bad, and the most I can say is that in the end the gameplay is kind of basic and it wasn't too long before I personally at least was kind of bored with the game wishing it was over since there was just nothing particularly special to make it interesting any longer, but my point is, I guess if I have to give it a recommended or a not recommended, it would have to be a not recommended, since I see no particular reason to suggest to anybody they play this, and it doesn't really stand out that much. [h1]Unlimited lives[/h1] This game has effectively unlimited continues, and technically you have a limited number of lives and if you run out it's game over, but... the game just asks if you want to continue anyway when you lose your last life, and if you say yes you're immediately thrown right back into the game at the exact moment you left like nothing happened and given a couple of extra lives, so at least that made it easy to get through and there was no dying 10 minutes into the last boss and having to go all the way back to the start of the level or anything. [h1]No level select[/h1] This game has no level select, and you can start a new game from the beginning, and you can continue on the level you were playing last time you quit, but if you're currently on level 4 and want to go back to level 3, for example, then your only choice is to start all the way over and get through level 1 and 2 again first. [h1]Some fun facts[/h1] This doesn't matter in any way, but during the cannon minigame, if you pause the game while inside a cannon, enter the settings menu (so as to not immediately unpause when you press B later), and then press the B button on your controller, the cannon will, I guess, fire while the game is paused, and your character won't go anywhere yet but you can see the cannon moving from whatever angle you had it aimed in back to the default angle while the game is still paused. Also doesn't matter, but it's possible to cheese one of the bosses by [spoiler]getting him stuck in an endless loop by hitting him just barely enough to stun him a little but not so much as to knock him down, and if you can hit Linksee at the right moment with light attack >> heavy attack >> stop, over and over while playing as Maki or light attack >> light attack >> stop, over and over while playing as Tincho (I wasn't able to get it to work with Maka. I also found Maka to be my last favorite character to play in general, but that's another story), he'll just barely get stunned for a brief moment, and although he'll exit stun right after, the amount of time between then and the next time you hit him doesn't seem to be long enough for him to fight back, meaning you can just repeat this until his health is gone.[/spoiler]

Cute beat em up with the polishing you would expect from a Garfield game...really wanted to like it but lack of combos and the design of levels and bosses forces you to button mash while waiting for the next stage.
