My almost 4 year old son has really taken to this game....actually he spends too much time on it ! We purchased this game when he was 3 1/2 years old and he was a little itimidated at first but quickly grasped the jumping and fighting. Perhaps some may think it is a little violent ....having RJ, Hammy, Verne and Stella running around smacking rats with rolling pins and golf clubs. It is not a reality based violence so I dont believe it is something that effects him. Either way it is a game that a small child can play but it can be a little discouraging at times, but it allows for the parent to play along and have a good time. I would recommend this game for younger childern on the days that they cant get outside and play.

My 8 and 6 years kids love it. They called it the best games they've ever played. The movement and action of all characters are so cute and they usually made us laugh. The character have to fight with other animals to finish some "missions". However, they don't really kill enemy...just stun them by various sports goods, toys, or toilet cleaning equipments. No bloody screen and no brutal action. This game can be played alone (with a partner assigned by game) or by 2 players and control is not complicated for young kids. This game is rated Everyone(10+), but I don't think it causes any side-effect for kids under 10.

We searched for months at Target, WalMart, etc., for Over the Hedge and could not find it anywhere. So I ordered it online. The kids can't stop playing it and all i hear is laughter! They love it. Thanks Amazon!!!

Simple to use, Grandkids 5 & 7 had a blast, need help with a couple of actions but overcame most controls.

All in all this game is pretty fun - and I'm a bit of an older gamer. It's controls and graphics are smooth. Overall, it's a pretty good run-around hit stuff/don't die game.

You may think the game ends quick. But thats wrong! you just have to go to the right place after you do the first few levels. It is really fun and might be the best game i ever played.

This game is just as fun as the PS2 version I played and reviewed. The gameplay still revolves around using golf clubs, hockey sticks, snowball guns, and various other weapons to take down demented rats, rabbits, gophers, etc., that have been taken over by the Verminator. Throughout the game you will avoid several laser traps, homicidal barbeques and bushes, steal food from houses, rescue the porcupine kids, unlock special features and minigames, and do so many other things in more than thirty missions of surprisingly good fun. You play as the characters from the movie; RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle, Stella the skunk and Hammy are the playable characters. While the other characters (and a few new ones) are there, they are not playable in the game. The graphics also look pretty decent for a last-generation game as well. Now to get to the bad; first the camera needs to fixed (It's like I'm playing a PSone game). Second, controls need to be tightened (Why can't I use the second analog stick to control the camera?). Third, the storyline is incoherent and seems to be sloppily put together. And last but not least, the game is more fun on multiplayer. This may seem like a laundry list of complaints, but they mostly seem to drift away while I destroy things, steal food and save my comrades from the Verminator. This game should go down as being among the handful of licensed games that don't suck, because it really should.

Purchased this game for a friend to give her grandson, so I am not sure about the product but at last count he was having fun with the game and thanked me for ordering it for his grandmother.

I usually purchase sports games but I was looking for a game to get my wife involved, she loved "Over The Hedge" so I thought we'd get the game. She couldn't put down the controller. Not since "Zelda" has a game caught her attention. For me, it is what it is, a fun game to play with the wife.

Guess what? I won this game 3 times in 1 hour. The game doesn't even start where it should, it starts in the middle of the movie and has like 4 levels or something. I hated this game.
