The smaller characters always move faster than the larger ones. Spike, Tike, Duckling, Butch, Nibbles, Eagle, and Lion can all be unlocked. Obviously Tom and Jerry are playable characters but there are several others you should recognize from the cartoon. By beating the game with every character you unlock Monster Jerry and Robot Cat as playable characters in the Quick Game and Tournament modes.

Robot Cat can spit fireballs or spin around in a circle while breathing fire. He can shrink and enlarge himself again by drinking green potions found in the arena. Monster Jerry is just a giant muscular Jerry. The final arena always pits you against one of two final bosses – Monster Jerry or Robot Cat. To win a match you need to win two out of three rounds and then you proceed to the next fight. By beating the game with each character, you unlock new characters. When you first fire up the game I would highly recommend you play through the Challenge mode.

As you keep kicking your opponents’ ass, your Berserk meter begins to fill and once full you can enter Berserk mode where you do even more damage for a limited time. They need to either be stunned or ducking and you only have a limited time to throw them, once picked up. However, now you can pick up opponents and chuck them across the arena. Just like in Fists of Furry you can still catch objects thrown at you if you time it right and you can still duck to avoid thrown objects and ducking is also the equivalent to blocking. Every now and then a question mark will appear and if you acquire it you’ll either obtain a shield that prevents you from taking damage for a limited time or poison gas that will slowly drain your health. No matter what weapon or object you pick up you can charge up your attack for more damage.

You can beat your opponents over the head with a fish or maybe throw some TNT at them and watch them comically turn black from the blast. To help you kick your opponents ass are various weapons and objects that will spawn in the arenas. Sadly, you can just spam these attacks throughout an entire match to easily win. These special attacks do major damage and normally cause your opponents to drop health that you can pick up. Your basic attacks consist of punching and kicking but if you double jump and press either of the two attack buttons you can perform a body slam or homing attack. The basic idea is to beat the shit out of your opponents to win. War of the Whiskers obviously has a multiplayer focus but to unlock all of the characters you will need to beat the Challenge mode with each character. The only difference between Quick Game and Tournament is that Tournament lets you decide how many matches a player or team must win to be declared the winner. You can choose your character, handicap, costume, and battle it out in any arena of your choosing. Quick Game and Tournament can be played either solo or with up to four friends. Challenge is the single player mode where you choose a character and fight opponents in five arenas, with the final arena consisting of a boss fight. There’s three modes to play – Challenge, Quick Game, and Tournament.

There really is no story here, just classic cartoon antics. For this review I played the GameCube version. The GameCube and Xbox versions were released in November, 2003. Developed by VIS Entertainment and published by NewKidCo, Tom and Jerry in War of the Whiskers is the sequel to Fists of Furry, released for PlayStation 2 in October, 2002. Unfortunately, the game is too easy and really lacks any form of depth. It was all about beating the shit out of your opponents accompanied by cartoon visuals and an excellent soundtrack, both of which perfectly matched the source material. Back in 2000, NewKidCo developed Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry, an arena style brawler that really captured the heart of the classic Tom and Jerry cartoons.
