PlayStation 2 Critic Reviews

Filled with enough chaos and wicked humor to forgive the slight reliance on platform clichés, Whiplash really is a hell of a game. With a little more polish before release, this game could have been a true masterpiece.

It's not insta-classic material, but it is a fun game that exhibits solid gameplay and a good sense of humor.

Its humorous tone and extremely satisfying random destruction really make it worth playing.

It's addictive, funny, and will make you feel more than a little sad when it's over.

Whiplash's style takes it a long way; hell, any title with the power to make PETA smile and fume at the same time has got something going.

There are flashes of comic genius in Whiplash, but equally as many missed opportunities. While this game is good, it narrowly misses the mark.

Look past some simplistic visual designs and enjoy the bright, unique style the artists have worked into Whiplash and you'll find a solid game that entertains after you've had your fill with the holiday A-lists. [Jan 2004, p.66]

Only a single player game with not much to offer in comparison to better known platform franchises.

It hits the nail on the head in terms of entertainment. It may be very familiar, it may not be the best of its genre, but it is excellent mindless fun.

While I love Whiplash's over-the-top concept and humor, its gameplay and graphics languish in a sea of averageness. [Jan 2004, p.128]
