Aardman movie tie-in as tender stealth with objective levels and gentle puzzles. Dated handling but atmosphere faithful to the film. Pleasant for families who love the animation.

Description
Adaptation of the animated film where chickens organize their escape from Tweedy's farm. Published by Eidos Interactive, released in late 2000. Stealth and puzzle stages, control of Ginger and her companions, gadgets cobbled together with Rocky the rooster. European version.
Released in 2000, this game adapts the Aardman animated film into a stealth adventure inside a chicken farm. Ginger and her companions seek escape by gathering parts and tools, under the eyes of farmers to avoid. The art direction respects the claymation of the feature and the British humour comes through. The stiffness of the action sections and a wayward camera weigh today, yet fans of the film and the curious about period adaptations find a faithful, good natured transposition.
