I don’t really remember there being a show. I did like the books as a kid though, especially the little flip-book style ani-morph you see by the page numbers and flip through the book
I absolutely loved the show as a kid. It was far from perfect but I was obsessed with the books so seeing those characters on TV was fantastic. The acting/writing is surprisingly good for a kid's show, the effects are just dated and lacking.
The book series got surprisingly mature as it went on and I definitely wouldn't mind it getting a reboot at some point! Always wanted to play this back in the day but I owned a N64 and not a PS1 back in the day.
There was talk of Paramount rebooting it as a film franchise around the last Transformers movie but Power Rangers is all I've heard about and that sounds atrocious so they're probably purposefully keeping things secret because it's a shit show
I remember that there was another series called Megamorphs, and it was a lot darker than the first series. Like one of them died. Kinda reminded me of the Hardy Boys Case Files, which were similarly dark and I quit reading when Chet died.
@@revwroth3698Ah, Megamorphs isn't actually its own series--they're just a couple supplemental books to the main series, and they're a bit longer and have the characters trade off narration rather than have one narrator per book. They're not actually any darker than the main series, because it's just about impossible to be darker than the way the main series ends!
game seems fine. It certainly isn't good, but I can't believe they reviewed it a 0%. I don't see anything wrong really beside some clunky controls. Could have been fun back in the day
Fucking loved the books, I collected them all as a 12 year old and still they hold a place in my heart. That said every peice of media produced from those books that wasn't the books themselves was almost total crap as far as I've seen. edit: and 29:37 when i was a kid i definitely wanted to see marco and jake merge (kiss and maybe hold hands)
yeah was just thinking that I don't understand why that was. the toys were shit. the games were shit. the show...wasn't shit but it also wasn't the books. it's almost like Applegate needed to be involved or something
@@calumsanderson6741 yeah almost like she was a good author and the other spinoffs and products were pure cash grabs that didnt have the backing of actual quality haha. not that the books are perfect mind you
I read the books too, did you read the lore-heavy backstory, Andalite Chronicles? the backstory of the guy that gave the main characters their powers? Gwah I think I read every book
I've paused it so you might say this later but Ben goes "I want to know which one they turn into". The lore is any animal they've touched they can turn into, like they absorb DNA from that animal to enable them to morph. So technically they can morph into any animal they want. But...that's probably not how this game was developed. Dude, a, like, open world non-linear Animorphs game where you can change into any animal would be fun as fuck
All I remember about the animorphs books is creepy cover art and brain slug zombies, some kids stay transformed too long or something and get stuck *edit* nobody corrected me but I fixed the spelling of animorphs because alchohol isn't an excuse.
I think it’s you can only stay as an animal for an hour? Any more than that and you get stuck as that animal and theoretically can’t change back, this happened to to Tobias who spends a while in the series as a hawk but he meets space god who let’s him change back to human for two hours
Ben and Peter, I must say that I have been watching you guys off and on for what seems like a year or longer now- going back to the days you were at… ehhh… I’ll call them “What Ever.” 😆 And of course the Vidiots channel. Anyway, I just felt inclined to say that this series of Worst Games and Ben’s old school name of “S#!+ games for wankers” is the best and I absolutely hope you two keep it going as long as you are able. Your chemistry together and your individual personalities is top tier in my opinion, and I hopped on the Facebook bandwagon so that James can actually get paid for his amazing contributions early into you guys asking us all to do it despite the fact I can’t stand Facebook just out of support for your collective efforts and entertainment. Anyway, I just wanted to say that you two especially are amazing at what you do, and I could never get enough of your Worst Games series. Cheers Triple Jump.
You were not far off. Both Animorphs and Beast Wars toys were created by Kenner (part of Hasbro) and some figures that weren't made in the Animorphs toyline got a slight remold in the Beast Wars toyline.
Marco should have been a gorilla, that was his main morph. If I remember correctly, they all turned into rhino's in the 16th book. They all use wolf morphs in many of the books but Cassie's most well known unique morph is a horse so that wouldn't work since it isn't a predatory animal
I haven't played this game since 2007, but I remember that intro like I played it yesterday. I almost beat this game, but the Gardens stage was too difficult for ten year old me
I was going to say that you're showing your age by mentioning KwikSave but I've just found out that it's still in business?!? I thought that it was long gone like Netto... Who knew that watching a vid on animorphs would get me stuck in a rabbit hole of researching old-school UK supermarkets 😅
It's weird, but the song playing on the Dragonfly level sounds a lot like a band from the Futurepop genre, I'm thinking Colony 5 Code 64 or Apoptgyma Berzerk. Wouldn't be surprised if it is a real song.
They've never heard of Daily Radar? That's a surprise. They were the subject of some early Penny Arcades. I think Daily Radar's rating got counted as a zero because of their Direct Hit/Hit/Miss/Dud rating system.
Wait, you guys had book faires (fares? faeres? who knows) in the UK? I wonder how much classic grade school overlap there is in terms of weird nostalgia like this between the US and UK
I live in Brazil and I saw one of these books on a library on the "bargain bin" kind of place but I didn't buy it because I was on a rush and I was short on cash, it was months after I watched this episode for the first time :p
God, I loved the books when I was a kid. Only ever knew of the GBA Pokemon-style gMe though. Never knew this one existed. Kinda wish I still didn't now.
Wish I read the books as a kid, The Show and book covers looked really lame but doing research later it sounds brutal and something kids shouldn't have been reading which is pretty cool.
I actually have this game still. My grandma got me the game after she got me some of the books from the second hand store and I liked them. I don't think I played it much. I can't play it now because my PS1 is on the fritz. I need a new one.
Epic establishing shot for a future ‘Billy-goes-bad’ subplot should y’all circle the wagon back to puppetmastering. Generally open to writing gigs. Hashtag monkey business. 🙊🤦🏻♂️🖖
I've gotta be honest, as terrible as this game seemingly is, I have incredibly fond memories of the Animorphs series of books. When I was in Elementary (Primary, if we want to get UK about this) School, my friend Austin and I would compete to see who could read the books the fastest. Nobody won, because we started doing it when the first book came out, so it'd be like "I finished the book last night!" "Well I finished after school yesterday!" "Okay... so we wait for the next one to be released then, I guess?" Lol
The books are genuinely awesome! There are some bad ones in there, but the series as a whole is way better than everyone who hasn't read them assumes they are. Unfortunately, all of the ancillary media (games, TV show, etc.) have been pretty awful.
Oof; I knew it wasn't gonna be great being on this show, but considering how much I loved the books as a kid this one was especially rough to watch. To be honest, almost nothing Animorphs related outside the books was good(The Game Boy game was basically Pokemon?...), but even ignoring the obvious, "They never ran around moving platforms or collecting Ani-coins" stuff they used to make this a video game, there's just so much stuff as a fan of the book series that they did wrong... Bleh; that Animorphs subreddit might be a bit more active than you'd suspect, though. They've been releasing the books as a series of graphic novels, updated for current times. Hopefully if any good comes out of this other than being able to laugh at a crappy game, maybe somebody will check those out.
Being a fan of the books and somewhat of the TV show if I were the buy this game as a child today and cut this game on and see how it is I would be highly pissed ..... I would have honestly thought that my Parents must have hated me.
I had a number of the books while in school, starting when the series came out (until every place around us suddenly stopped carrying them) Because of my love of the series and RPGs, I played the GBC game... Play that next. You won't be disappointed. I know I wasn't... :;D
This IP has been released in it’s entirety online so you can read them for free.(the author did it) I would love to see a new show with today’s production value and follow the books in ways that the show obviously had financial limitations.
That green monster you keep fighting is called a Hork Bajir. They are a peaceful race enslaved by main enemy of the game (the Yeerks...the little brain slug things). Any creature with ears can be enslaved by a Yeerk. That blue guy it zoomed in on the kill screen is the host body of one of the leader Yeerks and is the main antagonist of the books. I loved the books and have read all of them. It's just so unfortunate that the TV show and games are complete horseshit. The books have a lot to draw from, but people just went low effort in other media attempts.
Man I'm AMAZED Animorphs didn't become the American Harry Potter. It was a long form of storytelling with deep characters who grew a lot. I remember that Potter and Animorphs both had a surprising amount of grit in their last books especially. Where's my Animorphs movie franchise? :(
I think Animorphs is pretty much unfilmable, too many thing about would be almost impossible to transfer to the screen, not to mention the absolute insane level of disturbing and violent moments.
Dunno about over in the En-guh-LAND, but in America: the books were a huge thing, and the show wasn't nearly as big of a deal. It wasn't quite to the same level as something like "Goosebumps," but it wasn't terribly far off. I think they were ultimately more of a fad than anything else as the book series took a nosedive in quality, and the adaptations/spin-offs were...frankly, mostly like this game.
I remember being monumentally disappointed with this game, as I was a huge fan of both the books and the show as a kid. Animorphs, as a concept, should be so easy to design a cool game around. Make a point-and-click adventure where you have to use various animal forms to solve puzzles. Do a Metroidvania where you have to find and absorb different animals to get past certain obstacles. Or, if you’re going to go the cheap route and do the bare minimum with a bog-standard 2D platformer, at the very least let the Animorphs… morph, outside of a few blink-and-you-miss-them enemies and mini games. I’m sure it’s more the publisher’s fault than the developer’s, but wow, what a letdown and missed opportunity.
Actually, what happened was that SingleTrac made a different Animorph game, but the tragedy of Columbine occurred, which led the game to shift its gameplay… Now I’m more curious on what the original concept of the game even was.
Idk, I feel like a lot of the appeal of this series is that they play really bad games that no one has ever heard of. It takes away a lot of the chame of the show, imo, if they just play really good games that everyone likes.
They were great! Written by a wife and husband team (with a bunch of ghost written books in the middle) where she brought the animal stuff and he brought the sci-fi stuff. It's a kids' book series but as they go on it explores how they have to handle the horrors of war and making really tough decisions like how to handle a traitor, just how many lives are worth sacrificing for your cause and when it comes down to it, are you willing to give up what initially got you into the fight in order to get that assured victory. ...and then dealing with all the consquences of the decisions you've made.

Books are classic TV show was crap not the worst but only probably able to get through maybe 2 episodes
I absolutely loved the show as a kid. It was far from perfect but I was obsessed with the books so seeing those characters on TV was fantastic. The acting/writing is surprisingly good for a kid's show, the effects are just dated and lacking.
Watching the show was the first time I saw Shawn Ashmore before he was on x-men
I heard that “what we do in the shadows” reference at 23:40 Ben! Nice. BAT! 🦇
The book series got surprisingly mature as it went on and I definitely wouldn't mind it getting a reboot at some point! Always wanted to play this back in the day but I owned a N64 and not a PS1 back in the day.
There was talk of Paramount rebooting it as a film franchise around the last Transformers movie but Power Rangers is all I've heard about and that sounds atrocious so they're probably purposefully keeping things secret because it's a shit show
@@calumsanderson6741 I heard talks of doing a comic book version at one point but idk much else or if that was just rumors.
@@edman4327 They've done that. They're in graphic novel format. My nephew has been reading them.
I remember that there was another series called Megamorphs, and it was a lot darker than the first series. Like one of them died. Kinda reminded me of the Hardy Boys Case Files, which were similarly dark and I quit reading when Chet died.

The Walkin impersonating throughout the beginning has been hillarious
16:08 "you've found an actual worthy adversary" which took a whole nine seconds to defeat
A Video tape of this show got stuck in my grandparents TV! I used to rewatch it all the time
Because it was stuck in the tv lol?
With the improvement of visual effects over the past several years, it might be time for Animorphs to make its way to the big or small screen.
It would be more horrifying than the cat musical if they followed the books closely enough
i'd love it!
No
Oh yeah, here we go, worst games time! I love to see a new installment of 'Shit Games for Wankers'
still wish they would've actually called it that!
I never read the books before despite the interesting concept, but I will surely be entertained by this terrible game.
Good luck, Benimorph!
Best part of this game hands-down was the swamp segment playing as the dragonfly. That song was awesome- i'd play it over and over.

Animorphs, as a concept, should be so easy to design a cool game around. Make a point-and-click adventure where you have to use various animal forms to solve puzzles. Do a Metroidvania where you have to find and absorb different animals to get past certain obstacles.
