IGN Barnyard (GBA) Review

IGN has a review of the Gameboy Advance version of "Barnyard" which was developed by Halfbrick Studios and published by THQ. It's pretty interesting review for those who, like me, have no inkling of what the game involves, as it sums up the gameplay aspects (open sandbox, numerous quests and minigames, rpg-elements with upgrading and customisation of abilities or decoration). It actually sounds like a pretty cool game, and although the reviewer gives the title a fair 6 out of 10 score, he reminds readers that it is somewhat simplistic and really more suitable for kids...

Barnyard is a kid's game, plain and simple. Even for fans of the movie, this game is going to be just a little too basic. However, for kids looking for a fairly free roaming game that offers a variety of minigames, Barnyard is a good choice. Just don't expect it to last too long. It?s not perfect by any means, but what can you expect from a game that can't tell the difference between a boy cow and a girl cow?
