Garfield is very faithful to the spirit of Jim Davis' creation. There are plenty of references, both direct and subtle, to various episodes and characters from the comic strip. Speaking of characters, the designer ingeniously weaved them into the game's plot, and as a result Garfield fans will recognize many familiar faces, from the cook, the nurse, and many more. In contrast to most amateur adventure games, puzzles in Garfield are not painfully obvious, but remain logical and fitting to the atmosphere. Many of these puzzles require several steps or contain several smaller puzzles, and I find these the most fun. For example, at one point Garfield must disguise himself to enter a store with "no pets allowed" policy. This requires guessing what Garfield needs, and then finding the right material. Similarly, dialogues are well-written and are all faithful to the spirit of the comic.

Last but not least, Garfield is a commercial-sized game - by which I mean it is much longer than an average amateur game these days. It took me about 15 hours to beat, and that includes a number of hilarious cut-scenes that are interspersed throughout the game. Whether or not you love the yellow cat, or just point-and-click games in general, Garfield: Attack of the Mutant Lasagna is a wonderful labor of love and a solid adventure game that will put a smile on your face and glue you to the screen until it's over. Highly recommended!
