The character designs and architecture at work here are pure vintage Core...Special doesn't begin to tell the tale. [Apr 2002, p.46]

One of the best platformers in years, which oozes charm and has both enjoyment and depth to ensure you’ll want to play it over and over again.

The huge sprawling and very heavily detailed levels (which does lead to a loading issue that many people have been having) and a very ''Disney'' look accomplishes better graphics than any game that uses cel-shading.

A good game, a different game, a game that rewards those that stick with it with something plenty entertaining, but you’re going to have to strap on a pair of blinders to get there without cringing a couple times.

A refreshing, original, and compelling twist on the 3D platformer, Herdy Gerdy rises above its potentially dull premise.

Fun and beautiful, with gameplay every bit as fresh as its graphics. [May 2002, p.33]

Levels are brilliantly designed and there's always a mass of things for you to do when you first come into a new section of the game and you can approach the various tasks in whatever order you desire to some extent.

A witty and pretty game that's absorbing and charming, but ultimately will bore you with its long quests and constant backtracking.

I found myself enjoying the game most when I would play in 30 minute or so span times. I would get to a place that would frustrate me, turn the game off and then come back later to progress.

It’s simply a big and frustrating game that will need a lot of time and effort spent on it if you want to get to the end.
