Whiplash is a platformer video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox where a long-tailed weasel chained to a rabbit must work together to escape from a product testing corporation known as Genron and putting the fat boss out of commission . The game is a basic platformer, with Spanx (the weasel) as the main character, and Redmond (the rabbit) as more of a tool.

A 3D platform game starring two animals, Whiplash features the unusual twist of being shackled to the second character at all times. After escaping from a cruel product-testing lab where they were subjects of humiliating and painful experiments, Spanx and Redmond seize the opportunity to free other imprisoned animals and to disrupt the corporation responsible for their captivity.

The only catch is they are unable to break free from the chain that binds them together. Guiding the feisty Spanx, players must learn how to control the reluctant Redmond while being linked as one. By swinging both characters in different directions, players can solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and fully explore their environment.

There are two lesser objectives in the game as well as the main one of escaping:

  1. Free other animals using the character's abilities with the chain; The animals tend to also help by attacking humans in the vicinity when freed.

2) Damage and break as much equipment and objects as possible, doing so increases the expense to the company causing them to lose money until they are left with nothing.
