What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Comparisons to Metal Gear Solid are unjust, Chicken Run doesn’t attempt to poach Konami’s golden egg. It borrows ideas, but the ‘Chicken Gear Solid’ tagline doesn’t do justice to what is a perfectly serviceable and for the most part enjoyable game."
"...production values are often inconsistent, and its mechanics are flawed... The camera...is likewise inconsistent... ridden by an interesting type of slowdown... models are reasonably solid..."
"...Chicken Run is still an entertaining title that achieves the same level of charm as the movie, from the chicken-scratch plan diagrams to the egg-shaped fade-away between levels. This game will appeal to kids and adults alike."
"It may be a bit too much to expect a Claymation Metal Gear, but Chicken Run could easily turn out to be a cut above the average movie license, and the movie-based cinema sequences should be great fun."
"If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Hideo Kojima should be blushing furiously right now, because Chicken Run is as bald-faced a knockoff as you'll ever see in games."
