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. [Activision] Expand

  1. The mixture of action, stealth, and minigames will keep your attention for the game’s direction. The solid gameplay is made better because of the excellent presentation.

    Over the Hedge surprises with some really creative DS technology and game design that feels completely unique to the handheld library.
  3. Over The Hedge serves quite well as a light-hearted stealth action game. It’s not enough to make you forget that there’s no Metal Gear on DS, but it does boast a somewhat new use of the system’s features, and for a portable game based on a family movie property, exceeds all expectations.
  4. There's just not too much to do, and what activities there are become incredibly tedious after a short time. [July 2006, p.94]
