Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Finally a game to prove that not every movie tie-in has to be rubbish! You enter the world of Banyard as the new cow on the block and explore the world from the movie, meet its characters and see off the lowly coyotes and racoons.
Finally a game to prove that not every movie tie-in has to be rubbish! You enter the world of Banyard as the new cow on the block and explore the world from the movie, meet its characters and see off the lowly coyotes and racoons.
The lowdown:
Most movie tie-ins, particularly kid’s films, have a reputation for being quick, cynical cash-ins. Barnyard though is different in that instead of just creating a series of levels based on action scenes from the movie, it provides a whole living game world for you to explore. Although there are a set of story missions to follow, for most of the time you can just chat to the animals from the movie and help them out with various tasks and mini-games. These games range from controlling Peck the chicken in his latest attempt to fly, to seeing off racoons with a squirt of cow milk. The graphics are really good too, which is another change from the norm.
Most exciting moment:
The best bit of the game is the huge freedom you have to just wander around and do your own thing, with a large world to explore, including two separate farms. There are various vehicles you can use to get around and doing tricks with the cow biker gang is great fun.
Since you ask:
As well as the more complex missions and mini-games there’s also a set of much simpler games that you can play at any time, such as Wack-a-Racoon, darts and pool. A win gives you a new high score and more gopher bucks to spend.
The bottom line:
One of the best kid’s movie games around.- HARRISON DENT

Fun:
My husband purchased this game for me and I did think when I looked at the front that it would be a real kids game but once I started playing the game I realised it was really for all ages. I found this game to be the best game I have ever played, it was fun and enjoyable to play and I spent hours and hours on it which I never normally do with games. I loved all the mini games and loved the whole barn thing where you have to buy things to turn the barn into a party place at night - just fantastic would recommend to anyone.

Fun:
This game is terrific fun. Loads of mini games to play which once played as part of the story are easy to access if you just want a quick game. Launching Peck the chicken is particularly hilarious. There are always things to do and if (like my 6 year old) you find the mini games and challenges too hard at first you can spend your time picking flowers, cooking things in the kitchen or just racing round the Barnyard world on your bike. Very true to the film but still great fun to play even if you didn't see it.

Fun:
This is worth buying for the minigames alone. They are genuinely laugh-out-loud funny. I haven't played the mission part much - too busy with the minigames, but that will be a bonus when I get around to it. Its a great game for a party or a get-together playing darts, pool or learning to fly. I didn't realise it was a movie tie-in when I bought it which is good as I probably would have got something else and missed out on a real treat.

I've played this through twice now and it's still great fun. The storyline leads through in good order and all the games are great fun. Read more
