GARFIELD PURRS BACK TO THE BOX OFFICE
THE GAME FACTORY ANNOUNCES THREE MULTI-PLATFORM VIDEO GAMES BASED ON GARFIELD'S 2nd FEATURE FILM
New titles offer gaming for PlayStation®2,
Nintendo DS and PC platforms
Brabrand, Denmark - (May 9th. 2006) - THE
GAME FACTORY today announced that it will release its new
title, "Garfield 2", across the PlayStation 2, PC, and
Nintendo DS platforms. Based on "Garfield 2" - the sequel of
"Garfield the Movie"- the title will allow gamers of all ages
to interact and play through some of the most exciting scenes
of the movie.
The lazy, lasagna-loving, cynical cat named Garfield was
created by Jim Davis in 1978 and has appeared in over 2600
newspapers worldwide, garnered 4 Emmy awards and starred in
numerous cartoon shows. In 2004, Garfield had his debut on
the big screen, and "Garfield the Movie" became a $200
million international box office success. The sequel,
"Garfield 2" is planned for release this summer. Garfield's
vast empire stretches into 111 countries, and includes a
popular web site, www.garfield.com.
"Garfield the Movie was one of the top 25 highest grossing
films of 2004 so we are confident that a worldwide audience
of fans will welcome the chance to play video games based on
the upcoming sequel film," says Henrik Mathiasen, Chief
Executive Officer of THE GAME FACTORY. "We are thrilled to
continue our productive partnership with Paws, Inc."
Delivering a high-quality gaming experience across all
platforms, "Garfield 2" will be available as:
Garfield - (PlayStation®2) - Garfield
has managed to take a trip to London, by hiding himself in
the luggage of his owner, Jon Arbuckle. Players are asked to
help Garfield overcome obstacles and finish exciting missions
while fighting opponents, solving puzzles, and participating
in racing and flying challenges! Fun tempo missions ask the
player to listen to the music and help Garfield dance to the
rhythm. Varying levels of difficulty allows players to enjoy
hours of re-playability. Ages 7+;
Garfield - (Nintendo DS) - The
game takes full advantage of the newest Nintendo DS abilities
such as the Dual Screen and the microphone. Game play is a

by using the First Person View, or even compete in Timed Mode
to beat their own or record level time. Ages 7+;
