This game is fun and will keep small children (and some larger ones) occupied for weeks.
In the adventure game, you start out free-roaming a portion of farm land. You can talk to other animals, collect inventory items and take on missions. While the free-roaming environment gets MUCH larger as you progress, the game seems to introduce new environments before you're bored with your current environment. You play as a cow roaming around the farm (on two legs) while the farmer is away. Some of the missions that you can take on include item collection, shooting, cooking, riding a bicycle, and the many mini-games that are weaved in to the main story.
The mini-games can be accessed separately from the main game which I find extremely convenient. Instead of having to fire up the main story and travel to the ‘Mud Jumpers’ or ‘Tease the Mailman’ mini-game, you can just select it from the ‘Antics’ selection on the main menu. Walking around and exploring are fun enough. This game utilizes the nunhuck and remote in tandem. The basic control isn't completely intuitive, but it's close. It doesn't utilize FPS controls (as seen in 'Call of Duty 3' on the Wii), but the controls aren't bad and are actually fairly close to what you'd expect.
I had fun playing this simple movie-themed adventure game. I would recommend renting this game and not buying it unless you have a child in your household that is enamored with the movie. If so, this definitely isn't a waste of money. This game is fun and will keep small children (and some larger ones) occupied for weeks.
