Summary: Great gameplay for younger Animorph fans
Review: 'Animorphs' is a popular book series by Katherine A. Applegate, and this game is an action-style game based on that series. A group of teenagers gains the power to morph into various animals, and must fight the Yeerks, which can control humans.

The game is much like various Playstation games - Legends of Legaia, Final Fantasy VIII. You move all four players at the same time - Jake, Rachel, Cassie, and Marco, through a nicely rendered world. Tobias acts as your guide.

If you touch an animal, you can now turn into that animal. Each animal has its own abilities, and with the wide variety of animals you have to choose from, it makes for interesting puzzle solving. Do you fly to get out a window? Jump over the pits instead?

The graphics are very nice - again, it's shape-oriented rendering much like console games. Combat is a bit tedious, but it's slow pacing makes it easier for younger gamers to get their combinations in before their turn is up. Unlimited inventory means you simply pick up whatever you find, and figure out where to use the items.

There are nice training areas to teach you how to do the action sequences (running down paths jumping over tree trunks is typical) and how to fight. The gameplay itself is very easy to follow - you are given clues to help move you along from location to location.

If you know younger gamers who love the Animorph series, this is a perfect game. A good level of complexity, but not incredibly challenging or gory.

Summary: On the better side>>
Review: Animorphs is a good game. It has great graphics. If you are a fan of animorphs or like action, then get this game. You can be 1 of 4 characters and switch any time. YOu start of with base morphs and can aquire others such as a squirrel, a coackroack, and a gold fish. The are different challenges and battles. Yhe only bad point about this game is it leaves you hanging at the end. I'm sure there is another game sometime, though.

Summary: The Coolest Game this Side of the Andalite Homeworld
Review: Animorphs, Know the Secret is SO COOL! Even though I've only got the demo, I know this game is a winner. You can do whatever the characters in the books can do even though there are one or two mistakes. One of the mistakes is the fact that Rachel morphs the gorrilla (which is Marco's best morph). But hey, who cares? I think that the battles are especially cool and intense, particually against loads of Hork-Bajir because it is easier than you'd expect to get killed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very cool game!
Review: As the Animorphs, you'll jump right into the Animorphs world, exploring your surroundings, acquiring DNA, and morphing, fighting controllers and aliens as you attempt to defeat the Yeerks. It is just like jumping into the book series and the TV show. Special Features * Play as the main characters of the show. Control the entire squad at all times. Tobias acts as a helper in his hawk morph form.

* 13 total Morphs using proprietary morphing technology.

* Over 9 huge and detailed 3D environments to explore.

* Multiple fast-paced action sequences. Fly, swim, run, jump and sneak past obstacles.

* Tactical Combat sequences. Turn-based style of combat with 13 animals to create a tactical combat party.

* Characters will talk to other characters.

Summary: Looks like an excellent game, but.............
Review: Even thought all I have is the demo, it looks pretty cool, up until the battles. It's a painful reminder of Final Fantasy for Playstation. That's probably the only drwaback. But if the rest of the game continues that way, I wouldn't buy it. I'd probably wait for that Animorphs game for Playstation come out and buy it after the price drops. Well, that's my recommendation.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I enjoyed it very much! I like to play it at many times of the day! On the days when I play it, I am always playing it very much! The graphics are good for watching, especially the morphing tecnology! I hope there is a sequel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this game is the bomb
Review: i just got through downloading the pc game demo of animorphs from thier homepage. the demo was so good that i'd decided to get the real game on the next day. once i put the cd in i was blasting with adventure. on the first board they gave you the basic rules and you had your first battle with the hork-bajjir. Animorphs know the secret is an ausume game for everyone. that's why i give it five thumbs up. p.s. it never gets boring. sincerly ricky

Summary: Great game (demo)

Summary: Animorphs- Know the Secret
Review: I've just had this game for a day, but I already know it's going to be great! The graphics are really good, not fuzzy or grainy, and the characters move around easily. Some parts are quite challenging, (I've made good use of the hint button!) but very fun. I expected the battles to be very graphic, like the books, but they're not, it's not a game about blood and guts, nor is it just about killing. There are puzzles as well as the fighting scenes, and a lot of races against the clock. It's really good! I definitely recommend it to Animorphs fans, as well as people who want a fun, challenging game to play!

I just have one little question. In Chapter Two, the rooftop action scene, how do you jump up from the area following the the three fans to the building above it? I can't get it! If anyone knows, could they please post it here for me? Thanks so much!
