Game Summary:
Fur Fighters (titled Furrballs in early development) is a video game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Acclaim Entertainment for the Dreamcast in 2000, later for Microsoft Windows. The game was first announced as a Dreamcast exclusive in the January 1999 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, having started development in the summer of 1998. It was designed very much as a standard third-person shooter, but used a world populated by cute little animals as its setting. As a result, the game’s depiction of violence is very cartoon-like without losing any of its intensity. In 2001, an updated version for the PlayStation 2 was released as Fur Fighters: Viggo’s Revenge. On 20 July 2012, members of Muffin Games, ex-Bizarre Creations staff, announced a conversion for iPad, called Fur Fighters: Viggo on Glass.

Plot:
The plot of the game revolves around the Fur Fighters, a group dedicated to fighting against General Viggo, the game’s main antagonist. At the beginning of the game, Viggo kidnaps the families of the Fur Fighters, stranding their children around the game’s various locations and turning the spouses (or in Tweek’s case, mother) into robotic beasts. The story is rather loose, revolving around the Fur Fighters’ quest to rescue their babies, save their family, and stop General Viggo.
Gameplay:
In Fur Fighters, the player’s job is to rescue the tiny animal babies who have been taken from their families by the central villain, General Viggo. Viggo has scattered these babies all over the world, requiring the Fur Fighter families to explore, confront Viggo’s henchmen, and rescue all of them. The gameplay featured many unique aspects for a third-person shooter of the time it was released, most notably making each level an extremely large, expansive area that requires sometimes hours of involved exploration to locate the babies and get rid of the enemies. (Examples include a giant construction site and an entire section of a large city, complete with buildings to explore, including a complete museum of modern art.) Maneuvering through these levels often requires careful observation of the environment so as not to get lost, as well as solving puzzles to figure out where some babies might be hidden or how to gain access to more of the level. Unlike most action games of this type, Fur Fighters distinguishes itself by featuring a system where the player can, at many intervals on a level, switch between one of many animal parents. Each parent has their own advantages and disadvantages, with all of them holding their own special abilities allowing them to accomplish specific tasks. These abilities allow the player to maneuver through a variety of obstacles and courses within the players path, such as Roofus allowing the player to burrow in specific spots, Bungalow being able to jump much higher than other characters and Juliette being able to climb up walls. The game contains a variety of unlockable weapons with some of them sharing slots if they use the same ammo type, such as the Heavy Machine Gun, Plasma Blaster and Neutron Gun. The player also has a close range melee attack that has a unique animation for every playable character. The game received additional weapons and melee upgrades in its updated Playstation 2 release Viggo’s Revenge.
Characters:
• Roofus - Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Roofus is the natural born leader of the Fur Fighters. He is also the only member who can dig holes in the ground. After defeating Viggo years ago he gave it all up to settle down with his wife, Winnie and their children, until Viggo returned and kidnapped them. Roofus decided to battle for one last time to save them and get rid of Viggo once and for all.
• Chang - Born in Hong Kong, China, Chang is the smallest of the Fur Fighters and therefore is the only member who can get into small places. Chang is probably the most useful of the group as he has a scientific mind, is quick witted and is brilliant with weapons. His mission is to save his wife, Mai and children.
• Juliette - Born in Paris, France, Juliette is the only Fur Fighter who can climb up and down walls; she is also the only female in the group. Juliette is very athletic and can be very short-tempered and stubborn. She prefers to fight alone, but if persuaded she will stay with the group. Her mission is to save her husband, Claude and children.
• Bungalow - Born in Alice Springs, Australia, Bungalow is the only Fur Fighter who can jump high and far. Best friend of Roofus, Bungalow is rather slow and dim-witted; he does not realise his own strength or ability. He seems to be very happy to take orders from the other members. His mission is to save his wife, Esmerelda, and children.
• Rico - Born in Argentina, Rico is the only member of the Fur Fighters who can swim underwater. Rico is not the most serious or fully-focused member as he seems to think himself as a hero. He is also overconfident about his fighting skills and is a total daydreamer. His mission is to save his wife, Juanita, and children.
• Tweek - Born in Fur Fighter Village (presumably, as he is only a day old), Tweek is the youngest member of the Fur Fighters. He is also the only member who can glide. Tweek was born bigger and a different color than the rest of his siblings. His family was taken by Viggo, and Tweek was taken in by the other members who taught him how to use weapons, allowing him to help in the war against Viggo. His mission is to save his mother, Gwyneth, and his brothers and sisters.
• General Viggo - He is responsible for kidnapping the Fur Fighters’ families and trying to take over the world. Viggo is pure evil, yet well spoken. He leads his army of stupid bears against the Fur Fighters and he is also surprisingly strong.
• Fifi - He is General Viggo’s pet. A horrible little bald man and the only human in the game.
• General Bristol - Bristol is a ghost that helps guide and advise the Fur Fighters during their mission against Viggo.
• Sergeant Sternhouser - Sternhouser is the personal fitness trainer of the Fur Fighters who loves dancing and gives them better weapons.
Fur Fighter Bosses:
These bosses are the Fur Fighters’ families who need rescuing from different parts of the world.
• Gwyneth - Tweek’s mother and the real sixth member of the Fur Fighters—that is, before she was kidnapped and mutated by Viggo. She is now a metal dragon who soars the skies of New Quack City.
• Juanita - Rico’s wife. Ordinarily she keeps Rico in line when he says something... ”inappropriate”. She is now a giant penguin who contaminates the waters of Beaver Power.
• Claude - Juliette’s husband who is easily amused and a talented artist. He has become a gigantic creature in a space suit, who is destroying the main satellite of Cape Canardo.
• Esmerelda - Bungalow’s domineering wife. She has a habit of hitting Bungalow on the head with a saucepan. She is now a 200-foot-tall monster who keeps the lava nice and warm in the swimming pool at Dinotopolis.
• Mai - Chang’s wife. She is also small in stature, and is also a Firefox. She has become a quick and agile force to be reckoned with in the form of a slithery silver fox, and resides in the distant temple of Anatat Tatanatat, aka City of Fear.
• Winnie - Wife of Roofus who was kidnapped and thrown into a portal by Viggo. She is now an enormous and powerful force to be reckoned with in the form of a large, malevolent dog, and resides in the distant temple of Anatat Tatanatat, aka City of Fear.
