    Must agree with T.Tapper. I've tried a couple of times to play this game and it really sucks ass!

    Magnificent...gamersheaven...no superlatives can describe this beautiful game! Remeber Lemmings? Banjo-Kazooie? Disney cartoons like The Lion King? This game is a combo of those, and more. Sloppy framerate? Didn't experience it yet (after 30 hours of playing). Disorienting camera? Not really, but press triangle and the camera is centered behind Herdy. Blocky video? A little bit, but Magnificent...gamersheaven...no superlatives can describe this beautiful game! Remeber Lemmings? Banjo-Kazooie? Disney cartoons like The Lion King?

Not really, but press triangle and the camera is centered behind Herdy. Blocky video? A little bit, but the in-game graphics are fluid and NOT blocky. AI fake? No way. Boring? Just listen to the sounds, look at the graphics and look at the goals to complete...not boring at all!! Most important of all: gameplay? Plays like heaven, like Banjo-Kazooie..thanx Eidos and Core for this wonderful game!… Expand

    These reviews are so off it's pathetic. The framerate is horrible, the video is blocky, the control is bad, the AI is fake, the game is tedious and boring. Complete and total letdown.

    A great game! Lots of fun to play and beautiful to look at. I can't believe some of the bad reviews I read before I picked it up, and I'm so glad I bought it anyway. The only flaw I've found with this game, technically, is the camera. It can be a little willful. But, after upwards of 30 hours of playing, it hasn't really been a problem.

A lot of the negative reviews seemed like they were coming from people who just didn't enjoy the gameplay, as a matter of personal interest, since I haven't encountered issues with any of the things mentioned (framerate, AI, character glitches, level and task layout), except, of course, for a wily camera. I hope people look past these bad reviews and check out Herdy Gerdy for themselves. It would be a shame to miss such a wonderful game because of someone elses opinion on it. Happy herding!… Expand

    This is going to be more of first impressions den a review because I couldn't get that far before the technical problems lost me along the way. Basically the game concert shift between 30 frames a second and 60 frames a second all the time so unbearable to look at that I had to stop before getting headaches.This is sad because I think I would enjoy the game but a technical issues.

    A good game, a different game, a game that rewards those that stick with it with something plenty entertaining, but you’re going to have to strap on a pair of blinders to get there without cringing a couple times.

    A refreshing, original, and compelling twist on the 3D platformer, Herdy Gerdy rises above its potentially dull premise.

    Fun and beautiful, with gameplay every bit as fresh as its graphics. [May 2002, p.33]
