I have been completely frustrated by this game. First off, its not a game for young children. The content is completely appropriate for all ages, but it can be difficult to navigate and play. The game has the feel of a product that was rushed into production without ample playtesting. My game (ps2) has locked up at least 3 times while playing it. In addition, Bill will occasionally get stuck halfway in a wall and must be 'creatively' manuveured to escape (i.e. repetitively activate and dismount the scooter)

The currency is also feathers. Not a problem, but the collection of them seems to be. You get points for how well you perform a mission. You then use the feathers to purchase items. However, you cannot repeat a mission once completed so unless you want to score about 1000 times at soccer or water polo (yawn!), there is no way to accumulate a large number of feathers if you don't do well on the missions the first time (and you don't know the scale of success until you are done with the mission).

Finally, there is a completely lack of online (or any other for that matter) support for this product. It seems to be a game that was released, failed, and is now being cleared out. While its okay for a bit, the entire idea of timed missions gets boring and repetitive after a while especially since the majority of times I fail a mission its because of gameplay issues (usually a bad screen angle).

I purchased this game for my 7 year old daughter. She is unable to play the game because it is too hard. She has many other games that with an occasional helping hand, she is able to win. I am trying to play this game with (for) her and I am unable to get far. The first few levels weren't too bad. My biggest complaint about these is you get too few feathers for accomplishing a mission. Some give you as few as 5 feathers for your accomplishment. You must have feathers to purchase merchandise necessary to accomplish these missions. We are approximately 60% finished with the game. We have had to start over a handful of times because the game freezes up. There are also over 100 leaflets that must be gathered through the game. Some of these leaflets are very difficult to reach and 3 of them are unable to be viewed at all. There are some of the missions that, I know, we have tried dozens of times before we are able to accomplish them. This game is, in my opinion, too hard for young children.

Sitting Ducks is a great time for the whole family. My son especially enjoys it.

this game has perfect graphics and the misions are great and easy.this is a perfect game/gift for everyone.
