Nicely written review. I've only played the demo and I thought it was fairly good, not the best, just above average.

I liked the art style too.

How did you not have an aneurysm from the game AI in this?

Whats a 'revew'?

Whats a 'revew'?

Anyone can do a "review," but only The Escapist is elite enough to do revews.

Reminds me of the old PC title Sheep [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_(video_game)].
The same "Grrr! No! NOT THERE YOU STUPID...! ARGH!" kind of game
P.S.
Well it's practically the same game with some new features and more farmyard critters to be frustrated with.

The PC demo seemed to be stuck on a horrificly low max resolution, with no widescreen support. So I gave up.

Yep. It's Lemmings-meets-Sheep-meets-Herdy Gerdy.

This seems like a "Laptop game". It's one of those "pick up and play" games similar to N(+), or indie title "Within A Deep Forest". Plus, the requirements aren't assbaggery, as with almost every "hit" title that comes out these days. Personally, it seems like a waste to buy it on a console. The game is fun in it's own merits, but if you've got Call of Duty 4 or Team Fortress 2 staring at you, and then see cute little Flock with it's poop and fences and alien space ships, what game are you more likely to choose nine times out of ten?

Yeah, you beat me to it. Looks pretty much exactly the same game.

This game looks far to frustrating for my money.

I've played games like this before, good idea ruined by bad controls.

Nice review. After this, I don't really feel like playing it, more like watching some gameplay videos, just for the graphics
