Gameplay

Garfield: Lasagna World Tour is a platformer, in which Garfield puts on a variety of outfits to gain new abilities. [2] Players can use Odie in platforming and, at certain points, rides on the dog's back in chases. [3]

Plot

Garfield learns about a treasure hunt, "The Lasagna World Tour", in which the winner gets a lifetime supply of lasagna. [3] Unbeknownst to Garfield, an unnamed gray cat and his dog Brutus are set on stopping Garfield and Odie, and they are battled multiple times throughout the story. [1]

Reception

Reviewing the game for IGN , Sam Bishop was highly negative, giving the game a score of 2.5/10. He found that despite its "initial charm", the experience was "driven well into the ground before the game is close to over", adding "Lasagna World Tour is a pretty bad game". He was also highly critical of the sound and visuals, which he called some of the worst he'd heard in years. [2] Ben Dutka, for PSXextreme, thought that the game was "prone to many drawbacks and errors, and [it was] just not all that entertaining". [1]

A review in Random.Access thought that for "what it was meant to be" it was not horrible, and that it would appeal to its target market. [5]
