3.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled, this game is brutal, March 4, 2009

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Barnyard Blast (Video Game)

Barnyard Blast is packaged like a kids game on the outside but once you start playing you'll find a hardcore old school platformer in the style of the earliest Castelvania game for the NES with the difficulty and frustration level that rivals Mega Man 1. I give it 4 stars for fun beacuse it really is fun but only 3 stars overall because it looks to be marketed towards kids but is extremely challenging even for an old video game veteran adult like me who grew up with the NES and the frustrating games of that era and system. You want something that will challenge you? Are you nostalgic for a side scrolling platformer? If you answered "yes" to either question then you just might like this. Just be warned, it ain't as easy as it looks.

3.0 out of 5 stars authentically geeky, May 21, 2010

This review is from: Barnyard Blast (Video Game)

Barnyard Blast is an incredibly geeky homage to the Nintendo Hard era of gaming, with not a few references to internet memes thrown in. The game is designed for a niche market of gamers: specifically, those who grew up during the 8- and 16-bit era of gaming. While I really appreciated the game's humor and references, I didn't much care for the unforgiving difficulty (something I was glad to leave behind, frankly).

It is notable that Barnyard Blast can be played not only in English, but also in French, Portuguese, and Spanish. This makes it one of the very few DS games (that I know of) where Portuguese is a language option. You can choose your language from an in-game menu. All language is text, as there is no voice-acting.

I like playing this game and so does my 6 year old. Some of the games are a little challenging for a smaller child, but it is a fun game that is different from the standard Mario.
