Strengths: Excellent graphics, cutesy characters (even the bad ones);personally,not my kind of game but the challenge is there. Controls are quickly picked up during first level of game play.
Weakness: Too cute but at the same time, may be too difficult for younger ones.
I now know why I'm not a herder. It may seem like kids play to some, but Doops and Bleeps are not the easiest things to control! And then there's the Gromps.

Good thing you can obtain items and pick-ups to help you along the way. Now if only you could find something more meaty-beefy like...you know, like a Gromp grenade launcher! Of course, then you wouldn't be herding proper like in order to save your dad from an evil spell and save your land, now would you? A good single-player game aimed at driving you nuts.

In fact, HG can be quite entertaining... Herding as easy as chasing a creature, such as a...
This is still a game worth playing for those of you who have a little more patience than average, and dedicated students of game design are definitely encouraged to draw inspiration from its ideas and receive warnings from its mistakes. It's not the genre-breaking success it could have been, though, despite its visual presentation, which has a style and refinement that could have endeared it to...
