Running, however, is limited to short bursts, so it should be used in a timely manner.not that you are ever in any great danger or anything, though. Eventually, your aim is to gain enough popularity to become a welcome addition to the gang and imprint your name on the area forever.Įverything takes place from a third-person viewpoint so you get to see the cow you created (from limited choices at the game's start point) as it runs around on its hind legs squirting milk from its udders whenever possible (yes, even the male cows, for some unusual reason!). You wander around as the new cow in ‘town’, talking to various other animals, each of which has a mission for you to complete. Much like Rainbow Studios’ Cars had a hub style element, with various different tasks to be uncovered in the somewhat free-roaming world, Barnyard takes on a similar approach. What the game lacks in presentation is made up for by the way the actual gameplay is dished out.
Clearly having ALL lines voiced may have been too arduous a task, but the way it works with ‘voice snippet – long silence – voice snippet’ seems so disjointed that at first I thought my game disc was faulty! Ah well, at least the world of Barnyard and its animal inhabitants are more than recognisable to the child-oriented audience… This side is especially disappointing in the way it is implemented. And the same goes for the audio aspect, with your main character simply not speaking, others only saying one or two lines maximum to start with, followed by silence and text, with another closing line of speech. As usual, the graphics are definitely nice to look at, but really come across as run-of-the-mill in comparison to other developers’ efforts that try to push the envelope that little bit further. What you get with Barnyard in terms of its presentation is basically what you would expect – something extremely solid, but nothing particularly wonderful.
