Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Gather around my friends for a fascinating tale about a pair of the most
unlikely heroes...
It was a bright sunny day...outside. Inside the high-rise walls of the
massive Genron Corporation, however, it was quite a different story. In fact, it
was a very cold, dark day. For you see, Genron is a high-tech lab where innocent
animals are used to test human products. Deep inside Genron lies the dreaded
"Genetic Recombinator," the final destination for animal test subjects
who have outlived their usefulness.
On this particular day, Spanx, a crazy, electro-shock tested weasel and
Redmond, a know-it-all, makeup-tested rabbit, are chained together, thrown in a
locked cage, and sent on their way to the Genetic Recombinator. The plan is to
fuse them together into a new, rather freaky, half-rabbit/half weasel
creature--a "Weasit" or perhaps a "Reasel."
As their lives begin to quickly flash before their eyes, a miracle happened.
Somehow, Spanx and Redmond escaped from their cage at the very possible last
second. Now, this weasel-rabbit duo are on the loose, attempting to break out
from Genron. There's one small problem however--they're chained together.
As Spanx, you will use Redmond (much to his dismay), as your tool and
weapon of mass destruction.
Defend yourself by using Redmond in hilarious ways including the Flaming
Fur Ball, Radioactive Rabbit, Hare Clog and more.
Demolish everything in the company from computers and test equipment to
soda machines, plants and treadmills. Break it all and you'll drive the evil
corporation into bankruptcy.
Knock out the cruel lab staff with loads of super-charged attack combos.
Release other caged animals that are being used to test new people
products such as the Self-Operating Table and "Hair-Go" Hair
Removal Kit. Once free, they will help you fight.
Battle a band of baddies including a crazy cafeteria lady, a dirty
surgeon, crooked rent-a-cops, and of course, the demented company president.
Use Redmond to chain whip attackers, to swing over hazards, or to
helicopter to areas unreachable by foot.
Destroy security cameras, sneak around laser sensors, and access areas
too small for humans to avoid detection by the ruthless security crew.
In your attempt to flee this gigantic building, you will encounter a
genetic research lab, a toxic sewer system, fancy executive offices, and
much more.

First of all, this is a completeley original game. Don't be fooled by it's
dark and deranged outer shell, because Whiplash is a fun and inovative
platforming/action game. The story goes like this. There is a evil, huge mega
corporation that use animals to test new human products. It just so happens that
Spanxs the weasel,( who was experimented on with electricity, ) and Redford the
rabbit ( who was experimented on with beauty products, ) are chained together
and are about to become fused together for the rest of thier lives. Yet they
escape the grap of the scientists, and must elude capture at all costs, as well
as free all of the other test animals. The only catch? They're chained together.
It does sound wierd, but it is completley addictive and fun. You use Redford,
who is indestructable because of a hairspray test that gave him an impeneterable
shield, as a whip and can give him many funny and useful powerups. These include
on that inflates, another that lets him electrify gaurds and other enimies, plus
at least a dozen more. Or you can simply whip him about. The graphics, while not
the best, are very unique and have a griddy/saturday morning cartoon look about
them-not bad at all, and they stay at a very constant framerate. The sound is
great, with a mix of bizzare sound effects and catchy music. The game is however
not as long as it could have been, roughly about ten to fifteen hours depending
on how good you are at it, but nevertheless, it is still well worth the forty
dollars. I recommend Whiplash to everyone, so don't miss this clever and
original game when it comes out the seventh!

Whiplash is a hilarious, fun, challenging game for the ages. The humor of the
rabbit and weasel is enough to sending you to saying the game rocks. And the
challenges is an adventurous journey. So Me and my siter both think this game is
the best of all times!!!!

Jak 2? Ratchet and Clank? Do they have a crazed weasel chained to an
indestructible bunny bestowing havoc on an evil animal testing corporation? I
think not, but Whiplash! certainly does.
So you've just been set loose in an animal testing facility after three long
years of experiments, the catch is your a weasel and you have a loud mouthed
bunny chained to you. What do you do? Well you destroy everything in sight!
Scientists, security guards, and hazmat hunters in your way? No problem just
start swinging around that bunny and presto problem solved. What better way to
get back at the corporation that performed countless experiments on you? Destroy
EVERYTHING! Sending them into bankruptcy and freeing lots of other animals. Just
to add to the fun, a lot of the freed animals help you by attacking their
former captors. There is just something fun about beating people and the
surroundings silly with a rabbit, that keeps it from ever getting old or
repetitive.
The graphics are well done, by keeping a cartoony feel to the game. The
animations are also very nice, and the attack animations never cease to bring a
smile to my face. The sound effects are top notch, as you can hear every
footstep of the maniacal weasel exploring and destroy the facility. It even has
a neat background musical score, complete with 'real' elevator music. While the
visual and audio effects are not especially stunning, they do compliment the
humor and fun of the game fantastically.
What really makes this game great, is it is hilarious. The cinematics are at
times hysterical. Many times I found myself extremely excited to trigger another
cinematic, because I couldn't wait to find out what zany humor would come up
next. Redmond's (the rabbit) wise cracks throughout the game are always
entertaining, and they did a good job of not being too repetitive.
The gameplay is excellent, mainly because breaking things with a weasel and a
rabbit never gets old. It's also very cool using the rabbit in very interesting
ways (there's a couple instances involving a toilet!) to solve puzzles and
progress through the game. Basically the bunny is quite an amazing creature,
that is constantly tormented by the psychotic weasel in their desperate attempt
to escape.
Overall, an excellent choice for purchase. There isn't another game out there
like this one. So if you like to be entertained by slightly zany humor, and the
idea of causing mayhem with two very unlikely heroes interests you, pick this
game up.
