bit-tech Shopping: THQ Barnyard for Nintendo Wii

Rating: 10

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Cute and addicting mini-games.Great storyline.

Weaknesses: Rather simplistic gameplay, but ideal for little kids.

Summary: This game uses all the same characters from and somewhat follows the plot of the Barnyard movie itself, with a bunch of mini-games thrown in for some action. The on-screen help is very useful for the kids to learn/remember the controls for all the various elements of the game. There are tasks to complete, as well as time constraints to deal with. However, this is a rather easy and fun game all around.

Weaknesses: easy

Summary: My 10 year old sons like this game. It keeps them laughing although it is not the most difficult. Lots of fun! Not terribly expensive and will be great for my younger 4 year old son to play.

Strengths: Some fun minigames and humorous overall

Weaknesses: The Wiimote controls are sometime tedious to use.

Summary: I bought this game for my nine-year-old son and it cracks him up. You basically search around the barn and unlock games. The minigames aren't that challenging but sometimes the wiimote gets in the way. It's like they needed just a little more development time. Overall, the game is fun and worth the price. If it was $39 I wouldn't recommend it, but it's only twice the fee of a rental so it was a no-brainer to pick it up.
