Over the Hedge is a great comic strip and an even better movie. In 2006, Activision published a game based on the movie. It was a 3D action game, of sorts. Following the storyline of the original movie and comic strip, the main characters, RJ, Verne and Hammy, along with some of their friends, try to cope with the urbanization of their habitats, and the invasion of people into their forest.
The original game was released for the GameCube, PS2, Xbox, GameBoy Advance and the PC. After that, there were no other games based on the popular comic… until now. Activision is back now to bring to the PSP an original Over the Hedge game, Over The Hedge - Hammy goes Nuts. The game is in development for just handheld consoles this time, targeted at the Gameboy Advance, the PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS.
The game revolves around the three main characters of Over The Hedge, Hammy, Verne and RJ, following the story of the three traveling back into the suburbs to get back what is rightfully Hammy’s… his lost Cable TV connection.
Each version of the game, on each different console, is developed with exclusive content, making each version console specific.
Hammy Goes Nuts features a more puzzle- based gameplay system. Basically, the game is about running around and collecting items to add to other items to repair Hammy’s Cable TV. Though not for the hardcore mature gamers, the younger generation of gamers will enjoy this title, as it puts their brains to work in an extremely fun way.
You take on the role of Hammy, and can get the help of Verne, Stella and RJ through the game, to complete tasks to get your cable back.
Levels involve finding keys to gain access to doors, which essentially take you to the next level. Puzzles in the game may be a bit easier than expected, but the younger gamers will have a great time solving them and progressing through the game.
The game is great for young gamers, with some entertaining puzzles and familiar characters from the Over The Hedge universe. It has some nice sound effects, and is overall a good game for those looking to just have some fun.
