In Garfield's Defense: Attack of the Food Invaders, extraterrestrials have invaded Garfield and Jon's home to steal all the food and convert it into tasty-looking weapons.
The aliens resemble ridiculous meatballs, but the threat is no laughing matter. Fortunately, the invaders may have bitten off more than they can chew, because the world's most famous fat cat will never allow a single scrap of innocent lasagna to fall in the wrong hands.
Players control Garfield himself, leading the domestic defense in dashing armor - an inverted pot - while armed to the teeth with frying pans, rolled-up newspapers, forks, and more. Garfield's army includes various characters from the Garfield comic strip and TV series including slobbering sidekick Odie, Nermal the cute kitten, Wade the duck, Garfield's girlfriend Arlene, Squeak the friendly mouse, and many more including (of course) Garfield's owner Jon Arbuckle.
All characters possess special abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Players can upgrade any character and forge an invincible fighting force able to repel the assaults of the evil Food Invaders and safeguard the integrity of the refrigerator.
