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. 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

If you think this is just another kids game - think again.
I originally bought it in the supermarket reduced bin for my nephew, thinking it would keep him quiet for a while. Months on he is still plying it everyday. Equally it has the whole family hooked, with a favourite game for everyone - even his Nan!
There are so many side games of all different levels there is really something for everyone here. I normally don't get on with computer games, as I just get frustrated with them and loose, but this one has been different and I even had to buy myself a copy.
Great fun - just what you need for the whole family.

My brother bought this game after watching the film at the cinema. I must admit that at first i thought it was childish and boring, but oh was i wrong!!
Im not much of a gamer in the sense that i comment on graphics and stuff like that, but i have to say that after playing the game a few times it impressed me!
I've completed the game but still play on it alot, as the minigames are truly amazing! The storyline is good also, and whilst it might be easy for adults, i still think that it's a great game and will keep the kids occupied for hours! A definate must have for any gamer!
