As you first begin to play the game, you find yourself meeting Ben the cow and a few other farm-dwelling characters in this spectacular game. Everything is quite familiar if you have seen the movie, such as the barn that the meetings took place in, or Ben's hill when you get to farther points in the game. Everything seems well as you do small chores and mini-games with varied difficulty, there's everything from cooking to jumping over mud-oozing poles. Continue the game a bit and you will unlock the gate to the farm and you can now further explore the area, including the much discussed, Ben's Hill. More mini-games will be kicked at you after you finish a previous one. If you ever get some free time, there's more to explore, there's bike manuals (Wheelies), there's making the barn the best it can be by getting 100%.

Now, onto the actual review.

Gameplay: It was very fun to play this game, and I have found myself just goofing off half the time. It's fun to just do stunts like biking off of Ben's Hill in a new way. I never found time to play other games when I started this one. The only bad thing were some of the mini-games, either you had to do them like 50 times, or they were boring half-way through your first try.

Graphics: The Graphics were really good and were just like the movie, there are small details like the clouds and dirt being kicked up as you ride your bike around corners. The characters had their movements like walking around, and talking and even blinking. Nothing was overlooked in this game for the graphics.

Sound: The sound was great, you could hear the wind blowing, leaves ruffling and even stuff breaking. The only problem with the sound was the dialogue, they only spoke the first line and than you were left to read the rest which to some people, is a terrible task.

Value: I'm not sure of the price, but it was about 40$, so it's okay for the value, but if 40, 35 would of been better suited for this game.

All in all, good sandbox to kick the sand in, and this is definitely a buy.

    The movie Barnyard, like I stated with my last review, is a great family film and a great comedy. Like Madagascar, the video game adaptation of Barnyard is a very solid game. Those who remember the movie should like the ... Read Full Review
