The alternate opening cutscene in which it shows off various things, gameplay, meeting the fur fighters, video game entertainment. Comic mischief crude humor abound.

Fur Fighters is a video game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Acclaim for the Sega Dreamcast in 2000, then later for the PC.
The game 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.

Gameplay summary
In Fur Fighters, the player's job is to rescue the tiny animal babies who have been taken from their parents by the central villain, General Viggo. Viggo has scattered these babies all over the world, requiring the animal parents 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 many having special abilities allowing them to do certain things easier. This switching-out system also makes it easier for players who are low on hit points or ammunition to switch to a more playable character.

Critical reaction
While Fur Fighters was not a tremendous financial success and went almost unnoticed by the majority of gamers at the time, critically the game was almost universally praised for its size, scope, sense of humour, and attention to detail. The fact that mindless violence was not the sole gameplay element impressed many, and the game went on to become a sort of cult classic. In an attempt to take the series further with a larger audience, a new version of the game entitled Fur Fighters: Viggo's Revenge was released in 2001 on the PlayStation 2. It met with mixed success as it was simply an update of the original game with a few minor features included (such as cel-shading and real voices for the characters). Notably, the first level of the game is the "World Quack Centre", a play on New York's World Trade Center. Some people wondered if the level would be removed from future copies of the game after the events of 9/11, though that never happened. This may have to do with the fact that the game's storyline relies on each and every level to make sense.

Had this on Dreamcast, loved it a lot, got it on the ps2 later but one of my old friends stole it from me... Still this game was amazing and I'm totally getting it again. The memories even watching this fffff.

[StoneMonkWisdom]

@Anophis If you have a PS2, you could also find a copy of Fur Fighters: Viggo's Revenge. Though I imagine it's a very rare game at this point.

[Anophis]

@StoneMonkWisdom Yeah that's the one I had on the ps2 that got stolen. I still have my dreamcast version though. Was a fun game!

[StoneMonkWisdom]

@Anophis I picked up this game on a whim just because I wandered into BEst Buy one day several years back, Both my cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Though one time, he wasn't patient enough with navigating the menus nor reading that he created a new game over my farthest save file.. Otherwise, I view it as a fun and underrated game.

@Anophis where do u get the ps2 one i want one

please!!!!!!

[StoneMonkWisdom]

@kevincoker43 eBay is one possible source to find copies of the game...

[Birthnote]

I have to get this game back...

[N0KHturnal]

Muahahahaaa I love this game!!!

vote Chang 4 president lol!!

[3jesstin]

Ahh the memories

[Anophis]

@kevincoker43 Like Stone said, Ebay is one good way. There might be some game stores near you with some second hand game selling services, you never know what rare gems you might find there.

[Anophis]

@StoneMonkWisdom Aww lame. My dad had a habit of just going and deleting my save games without asking me which ones I wanted to keep, because we both share the same memory cards on ps2. If he deleted one I got reeeeally far in, it's hard for me to motivate myself to try and go through it all again. But I do remember this as being an awesome game, was really unique.
