    Not Too Shabby...

    By GeekyDad | Review Date: Jan 16, 2007 | DS

    I'll be honest, if not for IGN's rather glowing review of the game, I probably would never have considered getting Over The Hedge. But the DS doesn't have a huge selection of 3D platformers, and so I was kind of eager to... Read Full Review

    It's like a simplistic Super Mario 64 with furry talking animals.

    By jnerd | Review Date: Jan 01, 2007 | DS

    The stealthy gameplay can easily become frustrating for the younger audience the game is aimed at.

    Not a bad addition to the DS library.

    By Gigatron | Review Date: May 16, 2006 | DS

    Since I was planning to see the movie, I went ahead and picked this one up. It's actually like metal gear solid, with a good dose of platforming thrown in. The graphics are good, and they animate well, but there are so... Read Full Review

    Over the Hedge
