Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring was released in 2001 to coincide with the release of an animated movie with the same name. I can't say I'd ever heard of it before, although I suppose this is hardly surprising, given its poor reception. The movie was released straight-to-video, this game really should have been released straight-to-garbage, because that's about all it's worth.
The game is a very basic beat 'em up style game that's clearly aimed at a younger audience, but kids are just as discerning gamers as anyone else, and the game leaves a bad impression, regardless of age. The plot makes very little sense at all, and the mechanics are just dreadful. Neither Tom nor Jerry can do more than paw ineffectually at the multitude of enemies standing in their way, and the collectible weapons are equally rubbish, thanks to some really bad collision detection.
On the subject of collision, the Z axis calculations are really out of whack. It's possible to get hit by enemies and hazards halfway up the screen, and some of your own attacks, notably the bombs in the sewer level, actually damage the player when caught in the blast.
The only saving grace here is the animation which, admittedly, is pretty decent, but this alone fails to make up for the litany of failings elsewhere. Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring just isn't very good and is a game best avoided.

[@anticorporatists9959]

It would be funny to see Tom throw Jerry up in the air and hit em like a ⚾️

[@FridayNightStreamz]

One thing, why does the magic guy own so many cats that want to hurt Tom?

[@teddycaster248]

Wow, good game! Very interesting and not easy. And Mehano cats called “miu alert!” very scary. And I like cat combat, he-he 🙂🧸 I played in different “Tom and Jerry” game on PlayStation1 (game from same studio) but where be only Tom and Jerry, game depend for 2 players. It have single player levels but only play for Jerry.

[@Foofighter-j8t]

The fact that the game only lasts for 22 minutes

[@123stellac]

Yes but back then these games were literally harder than the standard of the present because the mechanic were different

[@starshehe-z9j]

The game is very cool to play, although I don't know how to play it. At least if I knew that.

[@KemgishaLynn-v5n]

Fun game

[@Tamaki_wife_love1415]

Best game ever

[@Wolfdragon92584]

You can tell this was an early GBA game; they couldn't harness the power of the system yet. Looks like a holdover from the SNES era. Weird how they made it a beat em up, and not in an especially appealing way.

[@Rafael49057]

O jogo teria que ficar em portuges

[@ferhat1983aydin]

Cat tom

[@ferhat1983aydin]

Tom ve jerry

[@gamingcrazy7013]

Was there ever a decent Tom & Jerry game? They all seem to be kinda stinky.

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

I owned Tom & Jerry: Hunting High and Low on the Commodore 64 and that wasn't very good either, so I think the answer is probably no...

[@gamingcrazy7013]

@AL82 Retrogaming Longplays I've played the Amiga version of that one. It's horrible!

[@deandremosley9190]

Tom and jerry war of the whiskers is a good game you should try that one it a decent game

[@busybody42luigifanxxx20]

The fighting games and tom and jerry chase are GREAT

[@yuppiecake9097]

Tom & Jerry on NES is fantastic. Fists of Fury and it's sequel War of the Whiskers are also good.
