    The character designs and architecture at work here are pure vintage Core...Special doesn't begin to tell the tale. [Apr 2002, p.46]

    Fun and beautiful, with gameplay every bit as fresh as its graphics. [May 2002, p.33]

    "Fresh, unique, light-hearted, entertaining, creative." Any of these words apply to Herdy Gerdy, but sadly so do, "Frustrating, unruly, unresponsive and premature release."

    A cheery-looking game world but lousy, sleep-inducing gameplay.

    Magnificent...gamersheaven...no superlatives can describe this beautiful game! Remeber Lemmings? Banjo-Kazooie? Disney cartoons like The Lion King? This game is a combo of those, and more. Sloppy framerate? Didn't experience it yet (after 30 hours of playing). Disorienting camera? Not really, but press triangle and the camera is centered behind Herdy. Blocky video? A little bit, but the in-game graphics are fluid and NOT blocky. AI fake? No way. Boring? Just listen to the sounds, look at the graphics and look at the goals to complete...not boring at all!! Most important of all: gameplay? Plays like heaven, like Banjo-Kazooie..thanx Eidos and Core for this wonderful game!… Expand

    Must agree with T.Tapper. I've tried a couple of times to play this game and it really sucks ass!

    These reviews are so off it's pathetic. The framerate is horrible, the video is blocky, the control is bad, the AI is fake, the game is tedious and boring. Complete and total letdown.… Expand
