"Herdy Gerdy is the best game on the PS2!!!"

Why?? Well let me tell you..........

It's original, an idea which is extremely clever and intuitive....

The AI is brilliant.......

The story is simple enough to allow you to enjoy the gameplay..........

It's challenging.......

It has a PAL 60hz mode (not the same as NTSC) which eradicates the big black borders.......

It is quite simply the best looking game on the PS2 after GT3 and the MGS2 demo.........

It's the most addictable game on the PS2........

The bad monsters are pink and fluffy.......

Got it today(swapped State of Emergency for it)and wow.
I've only had about an hour on it and wow


DOOPS rock
I want an army of DOOPS
Even the word is cool...DOOPS DOOPS DOOPS DOOPS

I played the demo and was not impressed. Here is my, erm, retaliation...

a)I know the story from what I have read of the game - you have to compete in a herding contest to get an acorn, because your father who is a great herder cannot compete. That's the gist of it.

d)The doops DO get eaten in the demo with a fishing rod by the gromps.

Not much of a come back, but I had to point out these mistakes. And if the actual HERDING element of the game doesn't impress, then I won't be buying it. No point of getting a game that has a few slices of not so interesting storyline.

I was impressed with the demo of Herdy Gerdy - Im still thinking of getting it!!

By George, i forgot all about this game, another one thats just creeped in from under me. So the game has made a good impression on you Bonus.

Is there any similaritys between this and Jak and Dax and stuff?

There is no way that a demo of this game could do it justice becuase of several reasons

a) You wouldn't know any of the story

b) You would just be herding, and that takes up little of the first couple of hours of play

c) You wouldn't have to find any hidden/special items

d) you wouldn't be able to laugh at the doops being eaten by the GROMP via a fishing rod

e) you wouldn't be presented with any of the puzzles that have nothing to do with the herding

f) you wouldn't be put up against any of the timed herding challenges to aquire some special herding equipment

Ah, but as previously discussed you can't trust demos. Silent Hill 2 demo sucked. Full game RULES!

MGS2 demo RULES, full game has had mixed opinions

*Enter game were demo ruled but full game sucked*

and there you have it! Point (rather weakly) proven!

I have played the demo of it, and found it boring.

I have SOE and I personally Love it guess its down to taste

sounds surreal, i'm there!

The only downside I've noticed is a tiny little bit of slow down on the 60hz mode. It only last about a second at a time, and only when you have zoomed the camra out for a decent view.

There are plenty of little challenges along the way, and it's really frustrating when the GROMP (big fluffy monsters) you put in a cage right beside your DOOP (little creatures for herding) pen. The idiot whips out a fishing rod and starts plucking the little guys out of their pen and chomps them.............

grrrr, it's a herding puzzle game. If I'd found the hidden gromp pen, that would never have happened

:D
