This review is from: Barnyard (Nintendo Wii) [Nintendo Wii]

My two girls (8 & 10) play this a fair bit (almost as much as Mario Party). Doing wheelies everywhere on the bike is a favorite. Some of the mini-games are initially "too hard", but eventually they get through them, and are very pleased with themselves.

It has exploration, collection, cooking, slapstick, and puzzles. You have to "get past" the milk-squirting imagery, and the fact that both genders have udders, but that was inherited from the movie itself. It works best to use the nunchuck, but there is a wii-mote only option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Fun Game to Play, December 13, 2006

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I rented this game from Blockbuster last week and both my daughter and I have enjoyed it. She is only 4 but loves to watch me make the animals talk and run around kicking things.

As with any game this price range I reccomend you try it before you buy it if you have a local video store that rents games. There have been games that I have brought back within hours wondering what I was thinking but on this game I have enjoyed it so much we are going to purcahse it for ourselves.

I rented this because of the fun-looking games on the back of the box...little did I know how the next 2weeks of my life would change. We play ALL the time. The missions for the cows are so exciting. Some are challenging, which make it very frustrating, but oh such a feeling of accomplishment when you finish! The music is great and the scenes are beautiful. I have to go now to play, sorry.
