	Donald Duck Quack Attack "Its great to see that Disney Interactive have finally got their act together with this platform style 3D adventure starring none other that that quack-pot himself, Donald Duck. If you're crazy about Crash Bandicoot types of games then this might just be right up your street."

PSone REVIEW:   With all the high profile characters at their disposal you would think that at least a couple of the very best games would include a name associated with the famous Disney franchise. Sadly, apart from a below average platformer charting the adventures of Mickey Mouse, there has been diddly squat! So even though it\'s been a long time coming, its great to see that Disney Interactive have finally got their act together with this platform style 3D adventure starring none other that that quack-pot himself, Donald Duck. If you\'re crazy about Crash Bandicoot types of games then this might just be right up your street. With star reporter Daisy Duck being kidnapped, Donald must kick, jump and punch his way through 20 stages in order to rescue her. I\'m sure that most of you have played this style of game before, but I\'ll run through the basics for the new kids on the block. Each of the levels are packed with pits, traps and a multitude of parading baddies. To pass by these hazards Donald must jump over or on top of the offending obstacle in order to advance. There are many stars to collect along the way with the accumulative total of 100 being rewarded with an extra life. Levels are grouped together and accessed via a teleporter and once each set is complete a Boss character must be defeated to proceed. Similar to Crash Bandicoot the viewing angle regularly changes adding a further dimension to gameplay. For example the Bonus Stages usually involves a creature of some description chasing your character towards the screen, while avoiding several pits and obstacles along the way. The following level could be viewed from a side perspective and the next from behind Donald Duck. The characters have been superbly animated, while the set designs not only look good, but also are entirely playable. Which is just as well because there\'s nothing more hated than a platform game where the characters demise is due to poor programming and bad animation. Quack Attack includes every whizz, bang and crash of a quality cartoon, which is simply the icing on a very nice cake. Overall Quack Attack is very pleasing to the eye, features quality sound effects and measures nicely up against rival games from this genre.

	Martin  "Wow, Quack Attack really surprised me. Most other Disney tie-in\'s (Dinosaur, Mulan) fall way short of the mark when it comes down to computer games and are often considered to be an \'easy cash-in\'. Donald Duck steps into the shoes normally worn by Crash Bandicoot for a platform game that has all the fun and frustrations usually associated with this genre." Graphics  15/20 Playability  44/50 Sound  7/10 Lastability  13/20 79% This is a good solid title that should still appeal to those who like this type of game.

SUMMARY OF FINAL RATING (%) 00 - 59 This makes your console seem like an older machine.

Either way, it should not be missed and is an essential purchase in our opinion. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: It is very important that you are aware that the criteria we use to obtain review scores on the PS2 is very different to that used for games on the original Playstation (PSone). The Processing and Graphical power of the two consoles are vastly different and as our reviews are graded against what we estimate is the achievable potential of each system, it does not mean in any way that a game scoring 80 percent on PS2 is worse than a Playstation (PSone) equivalent which scores 95.
