This game is awesome. First off, it is based on the movie Over the hedge by Dreamworks animation. Play as RJ, Verne, Hammy, or Stella and battle rats, gophers, robot bunnies, and moles in 7 destructible environments. You can also play mini-games. There are:
RC Rally: Drive an RC car racing on a race track
Range Driver: Swing your golf clubs at all of the enemies.
and
Bumper Carts: Drive a golf cart around a course and smash into the other players. FUN!
In the missions you try and get food for RJ's wagon for Vincent. Also you rescue Heather the possum from "The Verminator". One thing I don't like is that you can't control the camera. I also don't know why this game is rated E10+ just for "violence". The weapons are fun. RJ and Verne have golf clubs. Stella has a plunger (weird), and Hammy has a boomerang. Pick up power-ups during missions to refill your health and energy bar. When your energy bar has bars filled, do your cool energy attack. Overall, this game is cool. Also, rent this game before buying it.

My son (just turned 6) rented this game from Blockbuster with a gift card. He has played it every day for a week. He really loves the characters and the action. I only gave it 4 stars because there are parts where you don't know what to do and if you can't make it through to the certain point then you start all over which requires listening to the characters talk (like part of the movie). This gets a bit tedious. It might have helped had the game included the booklet.

Anyway, I would say, overall, that it is really fun for kids.

At first I feared the worst about this game because I thought it was going to suck like most licensed games. Who the hell would figure I that I would actually have fun with this game considering my horrible reviews for games such as The Bible Game and Casper: Spirit Dimensions? It is really fun to play with a friend because of all the different missions you get to play through. There is also an overabundance of weaponry like golf clubs, snowball guns, and more. The missions, enemies, protagonists, and mini-games are a bit over the top but it's a lot of fun. There are also a ton of things you can destroy on the game which makes it already more fun. The mini-games you unlock on the way include a golf cart demolition derby, a remote controlled car race, and target practice. The issues that prevent this game from reaching truly great status are it's squirrelly camera, some timed button press sequences, some stupid enemies, and it is much better to play with a friend than by yourself. These issues are minor in comparison to the fact that it's a lot of fun to play for both kids and adults. I really enjoyed my experience with this surprisingly good game which somehow managed to get me to like and not pan it scores wise. Overall, I have no trouble recommending this game in comparison to kids games that I've panned, because of how nicely assembled it is. So if you're looking for a game for your kids this one should have no trouble keeping them entertained, take it from me, a guy who enjoys M-rated games, and if I'm somebody who usually hates kids games but somehow managed to enjoy this game, you have to figure that there is something good about this quirky game. Also worth mentioning is how good the voice acting is in this game... and it's done by imitators who sound just like the actors from the movie (it's kinda freaky how good they are).

My son is 6 and he loves the game. Fun game for the whole family. Would recommend it to friends and family.

This game is alot of fun! We can play it together because it is for multiple players. We love to beat stuff up with different items and it is fun to collect the hats in the game.

First let me start off by saying Im 24 and my husband an I LOVE video games.I bought this game for my husband (whos 32) he LOVES adventure games. This game def got his attention so now he stays up late to play the game when he gets off work (hes a manager at our local KFC)so he gets home around 11pm and hes been staying up since the day we got the game its relaxing and fun to watch (since thats all i can do)no matter what ppl say this game is def not childish at all its actually pretty cute and fun to play. Def would advise anyone who likes adventure games to def buy this. You will not be sorry.

7 y/o son loves it! Received as promised in great condition. Thank you very much!

My kids love this game! Heck, I will admit I enjoy playing this game! It is a game that you do not have to worry about blood and violence, yet will still entertain and is quite a bit of fun!

This game is cute with the animals but in some parts it is hard to jump just right. you can not go on if you do not make it.was dark to begin with but got lighter.alot of fighting. i do not think little ones will hold to this game long

For those who enjoyed the movie, the game is a blast! My grandson plays it over and over. It's a fun game!
