I've played through the first 7 levels now.
It's... actually not that bad! You have your 4 'weapons' - Fire, Water, Explosion, and 'Use', and you need to get your 5 critters across the level without too much damage.
For the first 7 levels the game has been very easy, so I'm hoping it ramps up a tad. It's fun to cause fire near the HTF's in order for them to run faster, unfortunately they get confused on occasion and decide to run the wrong way. There are some props which are almost impossible to avoid (The Samurai Sword swingers) unless you take each friend one-by-one across.
Other than that, it's a good mixture of Lemmings and Eets. Far better than anything else Stainless have done on the system.
I say give the demo a go.

Unfortunately most things are Red or Yellow so it sort of blends in on occasion, and sometimes the camera isn't helpful until you move it to a specific point.
Usually there is a "button" somewhere which does something, maybe cause a ramp to fling up or open a door. Others may require freezing, like putting them over holes spewing out deadly gas on the Happy Tree Friends. If you're not sure what to do, you can freeze all the HTF until they're all set to go.
Fire usually is used to hurry up the HTF, just put it behind them and they'll sart running away from it. You get a little bit of satisfaction from this
And explosion explodes things, usually an object in the way or a blockage stopping water / whale blood from pouring down.
Jonnyram said:The original press release, that Shard posted above, said "will be available worldwide (except Hong Kong or Taiwan)". So I guess HK got it after all, then? Interesting lack of organisation in this department
That's Ticket To Ride. For Happy Tree Friends it says everywhere.
