Varmintz Deluxe 1.0f

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This humorous game places the safety of a wacky crew of raccoons in your hands. In Varmintz Deluxe, you guide five furry creatures through an obstacle-packed maze while collecting as many golden eggs as possible. Along the way, you must dodge enemies such as evil birds, rabid dogs, cowboys, and joggers, a task that requires your undivided attention. However, we were surprised to find we had no weapon to fight off foes, although you can drink a magic potion that makes you immune from attacks. The graphics, music, and sound effects perfectly reflect the game's lighthearted tone, but the characters appear to move in a fashion we find rather primitive. It's also tough to see your raccoon at times, especially when it's motionless. You can deactivate the sound and music and choose the screen size, but other than that, the feature set is slim. All told, we think Varmintz Deluxe will please younger gamers but probably won't satisfy the more experienced crowd.
