A video game based on The Cat in the Hat film was released for PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC and Game Boy Advance in August 2004. The plot of the game is completely different from the movie; instead of Conrad unlocking the Cat's Crate, Larry Quinn unlocks it and steals the Lock to it. Playing as the Cat, the player must go through thirteen levels through the transformed house and chase down Larry, who is collecting the released magic from the Crate for himself, and defeat him to get back the Lock (called the "Crablock" in-game) and re-lock the Crate before the children's mother returns home. The game received critically mixed reviews (except for the PC version, which received negative reviews.) The video game was banned in Brazil, due to copyright issues.

Famous quotes related to video game:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
