    Personally I walked into this game knowing it was beatable in about 3 hours but it seemed to be worth a visit after checking in on a few reviews.

I was going for some cheap humour and was kinda hoping to maybe get out of this an introduction to the cast of characters and then maybe possibly even watching the cartoon series. After about an hour I did have a few chuckles but the game just didn't have the appeal I was looking for. Let's face it no one is looking for a game such as this unless it's going to rely on humour to pull you through and it just wasn't strong enuf. I still may watch the cartoon seasons after playing a bit of this it may be worth my time. As for the gameplay it's pretty rudimentary you examine scenes, gain evidence then after that head to court and use the evidence to advance the story options which advance the game. The game is solid but very rudimentary. I'd say this is only for hardcore fans of the cartoon and game collectors. I didn't find the humour and gameplay combination overall strong enuf to keep my interest obviously. Game is not broken whatsoever, but it does say something that I didn't want to invest only 3 hrs in the game to see it through to its short end.… Expand

    As simple as Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law may seem, the game is brought to life by excellent dialogue, true-to-the-show characters, spastic humor, and of course, penis jokes. [Jan 2008, p.81]

    If you're a Harvey Birdman fanatic -- or just a casual fan like myself -- you should probably pick up this game. Sure, it isn't terribly long and it isn't too challenging, but it is a really funny and an engaging play.

    Gameplay aside, in a lighthearted adventure like this, the biggest crime is not being consistently funny...an offense of which Harvey Birdman is regrettably guilty.
