THE GAME ENTHUSAIST
Sean Wembleton "The Game Enthusaist" rated this in October 1, 2017, this is his perspective


 * Story - 62% (Neat)
 * Gameplay - 49% (Bad)
 * Graphics - 76% (Great)
 * Music - 93% (Legendary)
 * Replay Value - 57% (Okay)
 * TOTAL: 67.4% (Neat)
 * His final remarks: Actually not so Great, but in my opinion it's satisfactionary, if you want a good 3D low poly game about a cat, you should stick with this game, but unfortunately this is one of the weakest Cat Alexander games in the main series, next to Winter Quest 1, there are much better platformers in it's time but i gotta say, Alex did a decent effort transitioning to 3D unlike Bubsy or Earthworm Jim despite it's flaws, luckily the two games after is way better than the decent first

Unlike Bubsy 3D, reception has been mostly mixed now and then

Trivia

 * The Japanese version had the same release date with PaRappa The Rapper
 * The Team was only given 37 weeks or roughly 8.5 months to develop the game
