From the Manufacturer

Based on the highly-anticipated feature film from DreamWorks Animation, Over the Hedge is a wildly adventurous game that takes players on an interactive adventure beyond the story seen in the film. Assuming the roles of RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle, Hammy the squirrel, and Stella the skunk, players turn a suburban neighborhood loaded with dangerous obstacles and traps into their own personal playground. Numerous puzzles and mini-games keep fans busy as they switch between two of the four main characters or engage in two player co-op with friends.

Features:

• The only game that lets players relive movie moments and beyond: In over 30 mission-filled levels, gamers can switch between two characters on the fly, or select multiplayer mode to join forces with a friend. Gamers interact with all characters from the film, as well as all-new characters that live only in the game. The fast-paced adventure takes place in more than 10 new locations not featured in the film including the exterminator's lab, the sewers, and the wild Western theme park.
• Players experience the camaraderie and wacky adventures of four woodland creatures as they take over suburbia: In an attempt to free captured friends and rob the humans of their beloved food, players master each character's special moves and learn how to use them to work together. Special moves include: RJ's "golf ball barrage," Verne's "spinning shell attack," Hammy's "Hammy time", which allows him to streak around and overcome opponents in the blink of an eye, and Stella's "stink." Players move on to gain new abilities that allow each animal to perform advanced combo attacks as well as pick up hidden tools and armor.
• With an exciting multiplayer mode, players work together to survive the suburban neighborhood: When playing with a friend, gamers go on multiplayer co-op quests to fill their wagon with food. They barge through closed windows, fenced-in yards, and laser-guarded homes, performing the ultimate heist in order to locate and free captured friends.
• Fast-paced minigames add to the challenges of a suburb gone wild: gamers can unlock fast-paced mini-games like "Golf Cart Derby," "RC (radio-controlled) Car Racing," and "Suburban Mini Golf" as players take on side challenges to win energy-filled snacks or powered-up weapons and items.

Product Description

Meet a group of woodland creatures on a mission to take back the neighborhood. When a housing development intrudes on their woodland habitat and an opossum is kidnapped by an evil exterminator, three wise-cracking rodents and one very neurotic reptile invade the ‘burbs in a quest to rescue their friend. Battle the exterminator and his army of mind-controlled mammals, and save the forest (and your own hide) from the world’s peskiest critter – man.

4.0 out of 5 stars This game is pretty good!, April 10, 2007

A Kid's Review

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Over the Hedge (CD-ROM)

I got this game just recently and think it a very good game - not the best, but very good. It's very challenging at points, but I didn't hear any bad language in the game, Madmom! Anyway, I don't think (at least I didn't notice!) that there was bad language in the game! It's a game that keeps you going and once I thought this game would never end! But, it's a very good, long, funny and challenging game! I recomend this to somebody, who's ready for a real adventure!

This review is from: Over the Hedge (CD-ROM)

What a disappointment. We purchased this game thinking it would be something like Ice Age II, and it most definitely is NOT. There is nothing apart from hitting, beating, blowing things up, and thanks for teaching the kids to us "damn" and "dammit" ... just what every mother needs...


Awful, simply awful.

I thought this game was going to be easy. It can be very difficult in the kitchen trying to get food, but you can figure out where you should throw the food. The graPHICS WERE pretty good,the gameplay can be fun,and the length of the game is perfect. there are 35 missions in this game. BUY THIS GAME!! IT WLL KEEP YOU BUSY
