Yeek. It's unfortunate to have revisited this and come out with nothing of note after an hour of playtime. It's possible my distaste is linked to the initial property not being particularly good to begin with, but the gameplay loop here is abysmal and the visuals are equally poor. And while playing this, I'm pretty convinced I barely played it as a kid either? I only remember the first three or four levels and pretty much nothing else. I guess even kiddo me thought this was trash, I dunno.

Over the Hedge is also probably slightly more enjoyable with a friend. It's pretty much just a mindless spamfest gameplay wise and there are no levels to explore. They're broken up into these little sections where you just fight enemies and there's rarely anything to see or look around in. And the subject matter of the film forces the environments into a very narrow structure. It's just suburban streets, house backyards and middle-class homes throughout lol.

Genuinely had trouble latching onto a single thing I enjoyed here. Every character's moveset is also identical outside of some visual differences. Game sucks.
