comment |
Garfield: Saving Arlene is a 2005 3D platformer, developed by Eko Software and published by Hip Games and Titus Interactive, which was released on PC and PlayStation 2 (but only in European regions).One sunny day, the fat orange cat himself, Garfield, is woken up by Odie from a nap. Upon hearing a vehicle outside, he investigates and finds Arlene being carried away in an Animal Annihilation Facility truck. Initially too lazy to get up and do it himself, Garfield sends Odie to save her, but then decides to get up and rescue her himself.The game was followed by a sequel, Garfield: Lasagna World Tour, a year later. |

| | Garfield: Saving Arlene (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2 |
comment |
Super Drowning Skills: Zig-zagged; Garfield loses a life if he falls into water, but he can still stay afloat just fine, if a little grumpy about it. Odie has no qualms about floating in the water, however, and Garfield can use him as a floating platform, as well as a moving one if Odie is going towards a bone. |

Power-Up Food |
| | Garfield: Saving Arlene (Video Game) / int_422f23f9 |
comment |
Power-Up Food: One of the main mechanics of the game is that Garfield can collect ingredients to make food that gives him extra abilities. Lasagna: made with tomato, meat, and cheese, this Italian meal restores Garfield's health. Big Kicking Burger: a bun, meat, and cheese combine into a burger that grants Garfield the power to kick Odie very far. Cheesecake: mixing sugar, cheese, and milk gets Garfield a dessert that lets him do a floaty, extended jump. Vanilla Milkshake: combining vanilla ice cream, milk, and sugar creates a dessert that lets Garfield briefly dash. Chilli (sic) Con Carne: beans, meat, and spices let Garfield make a hot, hot meal that lets him breathe fire. |

Distressed Dude: Odie is on the receiving end of this multiple times; Odie falls into a sewer at the end of the first stage, requiring Garfield to detour into the sewers to regroup with him. During the third stage, he gets locked in an alarm clock factory, mandating another deviation from the main adventure by Garfield. In the game's ending Odie gets captured by the Animal Annihilation Facility. Garfield can't be bothered to go and help him this time, and would much rather just get back to relaxing. |
