Has anyone bought Herdy Gerdy? if so plz post your opinions (fair if possible) Worth the cash?
SSXPRO, is that an apology? i did wonder why there were two topics of exactly the same content only a few hours after my initial post.
Sorry, I hadn`t noticed this topic when it got posted!
Basically, I think Herdy Gerdy is a top game. Possibly not the best of them all, but its certainly amongst the best. There are a few niggles like the camera getting a little lost occasionally, but thats sortable with the manual camera. Compared to Jak and Daxter, the controls for both the characters and camera feel a little less polished, as Naughty Dog are real experts in this field. Also, the voices can drag a little making it preferable to simply press X and skip them.
That might seem like a fair few bad points... however, it doesn`t stop the game from being great fun to play. The herding element is a real joy, and is certainly one of the most original concepts ever introduced into a game. Its nice to see this kind of thing these days.
Other plus points are the character animations and interactions which are all top notch. Gerdy himself is like a real cartoon, and the many creatures spread around the world are also superb. When you see your first Gromp in a pen, you`ll not stop laughing for ages, its hilarious!
Basically, its not an MGS2 beater, but it is a fine game, and by the sounds of things, a much safer purchase than State of Emergency (so far the only positive response I`ve seen has come from a raving lunatic).
My advice - go for it. :-)

i personally think it is a bag of crap
Personally i rate it alongside Ocarina of Time for sheer playing pleasure, although it's too early to tell whether it has the depth of gameplay and long term appeal. The disneyesque graphics are really nice although they aren't as polished as they could be. herding doops of a cliff and then legging it to a ford to collect them and pen them has to rate as a diamond bullet idea. 8/10(first impressions could go up or down)
come on people, how about some comments from people who bought it.
Im quite impressed with the demo - Not sure whether Ill get it or not though!!
Thanks, hopefully he will notice this topic. If it hasn't sunk to the bottom of the forums by then
SSX Pro has been on earlier. I believe he got thje game today, so when hes around ask him
