  • Summary: Enter the world of Nickelodeon's newest adventure and bring the Barnyard movie to life. Battle the coyote invaders, tee up for a game of golf, target the bull's-eye with your flying chicken and race downhill on your speedy bike. Players can explore a fully interactive, 3-D world and prove they have what it takes to be the biggest party animal of them all. Replayable action-packed games based on the wild antics of Otis. Open-world gameplay through areas seen in the movie. Unique controller functions - steering cars, swinging golf clubs, throwing darts, shooting a tomato gun at coyotes, and more. Up-rez'd graphics including 60 fps, progressive scan, and widescreen support. All-new mini-games and customization options. [THQ] Expand

  1. The motion-sensitive controls work very well and the graphical upgrade is appreciated.
  2. One mini-game made us laugh out loud as our cow did an MC Hammer dance. [Jan 2007, p.83]
  3. While the motion-sensitive controls don't fully justify the Wii version's higher price tag, they do make a fun sandbox game seem even more engaging.
  4. Unfortunately, due to the boring missions and the slow moving character and pace, I would pass on Barnyard.

    Too easy and some of the mini game controls just don't work or work intermittently. I would spend money elsewhere - luckily I rented first.
