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.

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.

my 4yr old played it and liked it - rented it for a week - and so i think i could be something for a b-day gift - the cow walks around doing things all day, collecting food for recipes for the pig to cook, and money to go buy things from the gophers for the party in the barn at night....i agree that the mini tasks are a little hard for the kids but i got mine thru them.

This game is based on the movie 'Barnyard' and you play a new cow who enters a farm and befriends other animals by doing tasks for them and partying with them. There is a huge farm in which you can roam around and as in many other games, you gain access to different areas as you complete 'missions', some of them as dumb as just finding stuff around, as fun as squirting milk on other animals and targets and as active as mud jumping, bike races, chicken chase or apple shooting. None of the missions are seriously challenging, but quiet a few are fun for kids and beginners. If you are a serious action gamer, stay away from this game.

Some cons:
- The voice for characters is poorly done. They speak only the first sentence and the rest you have read by pushing the A button. I didn't like this and neither did my five year old.
- I think the controls could have been better or more options be given. For simple actions performed in this game, it is a bit too much to use both the wiimote and the nunchuck. There is no option (atleast that i know of) to use just the wiimote analog controls which would have been less strenuos on the little kid's hands.

Over all, it is a fun game for the price!

This is an excellent Wii game for adults and older kids. You name your cow which is a new arrival to the barnyard. You manipulate your cow through finding 16 recipies under rocks marked with an X. You accumulate ingredients found all over the huge farm. You tease the mailman without getting caught to earn more points. Theve p cow rides a bike to get over long distances which can be challenging. Barnyard games break up the quest for points. Take your cow into the kitchen to have pig make your recipes with the ingredients you provides. Hours and hours of challenging fun.

This is a fun alternative to the more rough games available out there. It is an adventure game with lots of missions to accomplish. The graphics are good and the visual aspects are very appealing. The most violent things involve shooting tomatoes at kids who are trying to tip cows and shooting coyotes and raccoons with milk to make them disappear. I recommend the game!

I picked this game up from Blockbuster as their used Wii games were buy one get one free. They only had this game and Shrek III which I bought for the unbelievable price of 14.99 for both.

I still haven't played Shrek because I can't get enough of this game! I'm a 26 year old female and it's a bit embarrassing to admit. There are so many different missions to do, things to collect, things to bake, mocktails to make and the minigames are always fun to play whenever. I even got my boyfriend hooked on the gopher golf (don't tell him I told anyone!)

Definitely worth the price as I've had HOURS of entertainment. Great for any ages!

I find my self playing this game at all hours (2:00 am to 4:00am) on a weekday. And I stll go to work early but not to tired. This game is very hard to quit playing. It may be a kids game, so I guess I'm a big kid.

This is such a fun game, not only for kids, but adults as well!! We loved watching the storyline develop as the game went on. My daughter has even become barnyard champion, which is an honor for her!!
