    10 This is objectively the best game you can buy right now; its realistic and visionary art style, combo'd with the amazing soundtrack, the witty dialogue and astoundingly challenging yet rewarding gameplay makes this game a must buy, and also shows the why the DS is the single most succesful game system of all times.

    Cory in the House is the iPhone 6 of software; the ultimate masterpiece. All things that games try to do in different ways, CitH does perfectly well without compromising other areas. It is a milestone not only in videogames, but in art itself    … Expand

    Over the Hedge is a fun, unique game that looks great and makes good use of the DS's features. I definitely recommend purchasing this, especially if you are a fan of the film.

    This game plays out like a sequel to the movie of the same name. The story is basic but that’s to be expected for a tie in game. The gameplay is where the game really shines and for movie game standards this is a solid game. The game has pictures for the cutscenes while compressed look like the movie.

The story is basic but that’s to be expected for a tie in game. The gameplay is where the game really shines and for movie game standards this is a solid game. The game has pictures for the cutscenes while compressed look like the movie. The game has you go in the hub which is behind the hedge and the hedge has holes in it acting like a level select. If I had to say something bad about this game it would be the length of the game. It took me at least 3 hours to complete the game. The game has three worlds with 5 levels each and another world which ins in a construction zone. The game plays like a stealth game where you have to avoid the humans seeing you. There are 3 characters to play as. RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle and Hammy the squirrel. There are traps you have to avoid in the house. You also have some power ups like soda for speed and phone card to prank call the house phone as a distract. For a ds game the graphics look pretty standard with 3D models of the characters. If you seen the movie and have a ds then I would recommend getting this game. the game.… Expand

    The mixture of action, stealth, and minigames will keep your attention for the game’s direction. The solid gameplay is made better because of the excellent presentation.

    The game is very competent and offers up a fairly meaty single player experience. Taking cues from Metal Gear Solid and Prince of Persia, Over the Hedge is a well designed adventure that requires patience and planning.
