    Muchos minijuegos que te logran divertir pero además de repetitivo no tiene nada que competir con otros juegos de la consola.

    Esse game me faz lembrar da minha infância, Muito divertido, com vários mini jogos para competir com os outros animais da fazenda, A gameplay era simples, porém funcionava muito bem, Tinha um sistema de compra de itens para personalizar a sua casa que era muito incrível pra mim, eu realmente me sentia um boi vivendo numa fazena e fazendo coisas em segredo dos humanos, game fantástico!

    Fun for adults who aren't into really violent games and fun for kids too!

    This is a great game. Fast, funny, some of the mini-games are challenging. I'm 28 and testing this game out, and it didn't bore me at all. The only weird part is male cows shooting milk, but...it is what it is!

    This video is awesome, I loved playing this! I wish there were way more levels in it so I can continue to play for as long as I like!

    I remember when I first got this game at GameStop! That was such a good experience...

    Most minigames are fun to play and exploring the area is interesting too, and it somehow follows the movie exactly. I also get determined to get a star in every minigame.

    This is legit best GTA clone after Sleeping Dogs. I had so much fun with it. The major flaw is that the missions and mini games are repetitive, which can be really annoying, I would enjoy this game even more if they cut down those repetitive minigames/missions.

    A game filled with charm that anyone can enjoy. The open world is large and gives you many things to do and the minigames are simple yet can be played again and again.

    I really enjoy this game, but I have a problem with it.

    The main character of the film, Biggie cheese, it's not playable, definitely we live in a society.

    With a ton of mini-games (half of which are available out of the box. Nice), a huge free-roaming environment, tons of mini-quests and open-ended gameplay, Barnyard manages to pull off its design quite nicely. Having said that, the game still suffers from the normal symptoms of licensed products, lacking a little polish here, and a gameplay tweak there.

    The open-ended design is a breath of fresh air, while the overall presentation lives up to the movie's skewed style and humor.

    A grand collection of inspired mini-games.
