Synopsis[]
After Arlene is captured and taken to the pound, Garfield and Odie venture to save her, with numerous tasks along the way.
Plot[]
Garfield is asleep on the couch in the Arbuckle house, and is soon awoken by Odie. The cat kicks Odie off the couch, claiming that the latter has no respect for his naps. Garfield then hears a truck, and finds it to be from the "Animal Annihilation Facility". Garfield then sees Arlene in the back of the truck, and along with Odie, decides to save her.
The two go through the gardens, and eventually catch up to the truck, before Odie falls into an open manhole. After Garfield gets no response from Odie, he jumps down to find the dog. After the two get out of the sewers, they decide to go through the gardens again. After Garfield jumps into a building, he finds it to be that of a clock factory, and navigates through it without Odie. Near the end of the clock factory, Garfield finds Odie, and claims he is too tired to be mad at the dog, but is glad to have found him.
The two leave the factory, and find themselves back in the sewers. After getting out, they see the truck drive past, and follow it through the gardens at night. The two find the pound, and Garfield is initially reluctant to go ahead, but it convinced by Odie, and the two enter the building. The building proves large, and after several tasks, they find Arlene. After reaching her, Odie wakes Garfield up, meaning the whole adventure was a dream. Garfield hears the same truck, and decides to send Odie after it, while watching his favorite television show. The story ends as Odie is driven off to the pound.

Trivia[]
- Despite the fact that the game is a 3D platformer and all in-game characters use 3D models, Arlene is the exception, being represented as a 2D animated texture.
- At the end of the credits, the player is told "Try this during the game! Left Left Left Left Up Left Left Left Left Down". Inputting this code on the D-pad during the game results in Garfield cycling through wearing different hats. These hats do not appear to have any effect on gameplay. They were later reused for the multiplayer costumes in Garfield: Lasagna World Tour.
- Yapping Yards and Dubious Dusk are the only two levels in the game to have different names yet share the same music.
- Outside of educational games, mobile games, and crossover games, Garfield: Saving Arlene is currently the only Garfield video game to receive a direct sequel.
Differences between platforms[]
- The PS2 contains title cards for each level whereas the PC version has none.
