Most people already know that this game was made by the creators of Sonic the Hedgehog so I'll just get down to the heart of the matter. Yes this game is very fun and original but no unfourtunately this is not the new Sega franchise we've been looking for. The whole egg factor makes this game original yes but I've got a feeling this game was rushed out the door as it just doesn't feel fully implemented. For one thing at many points in the game you'll fall due to there not being enough room on the platform for both the egg and yourself. The biggest issue is that while hatching the eggs is always fun you'll hardly ever be compelled to do so. The animals in the eggs are never really used in puzzles so it's just easier to keep the egg itself than to hatch it. This games only other problem is it's relatively short length, I was finished in 10 hours. There's no real replay value either as once you're done there's not much to come back for. Overall the game comes out as slightly above average but is not the revolution Sega made it out to be.

This game rules!

Get ready for some scrambled eggs because the world has just got chickened out. Billy Hatcher is a game made by sonic team and sega. If you are a sonic the hedgehog fan (like me) then I highly recommend Billy Hatcher, even if you have never heard of sonic or sega I still recommend it. I absolutly loved this game, it was just hard enough and had an interesting plot. The plot was about how evil crows led by the sinister Dark Raven try to take over Morning Land a sunny tropical world that has chickens inhabitants. You are Billy Hatcher a young boy who shows his courage when a chick is about to be hurt by a crow. The grateful chick sends Billy and his friends to Morning Land where they use a ledgendary chicken suit to roll eggs around and squash those annoying crows back to where they came from. Keep up in fast paced rolling, slaming, jumping, squashing, pushing and just plain fun! Some features: multiplayer, story mode, multiple characters, great graphics and cute creatures.

This game is not really that good. Its for little kids. There is little action and you mostly have to roll a big egg around. If you leave the egg somplace and you move on without it you have to go back and get it. It is mostly a puzzle game and no one that is above 8 should buy it,

Fun Game!

Okay, I've heard a lot of bad reviews about this game, and I really don't think that they do the game justice. Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is a fun game, though it can be frustrating at times. In the game, you take control of a kid named Billy and roll eggs around to squash the crows that are trying to take control of a place called Morning Land, world of the chickens. There are several areas of Morning Land, including Forest Village, Pirates Island, Dino Mountain, Blizzard Castle, Circus Park, Sand Ruin, and the Giant Palace. The storyline is that Billy Hatcher is late to meet his friends in a clearing in the woods. When he meets them, a chick being attacked by a crow wanders into the clearing. Billy saves the chick and fighs the crow. He's victorious, and he gets transported to Morning Land, the land of chickens. Billy has to roll around eggs to squish crows and defeat many crow bosses, defeat Dark Corvo the crow prince, and then defeat Dark Raven, the king of all crows! There are several eggs to hatch, which can contain power-ups such as the speed shoes or the light comb, animals such as Cipher and Richie, items such as the gorilla or the fox, a chick bomb, a chicken elder such as Oma-Oma or Ponee, an extra life, a force-field bat, or even a crow that levitates over Billy's head spreading darkness. Overall, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is a fun game that can be frustrating at times, but it's really easy to get caught up in the game. (The Legendary Giant Egg of Morning Land is HUGE!!!!!!!!)

great game all around!

Billy hatcher is a great game! The single player is fun and keeps you busy all the time. The objective is to bring morning back to morning land. You go around as this boy named billy hatcher and is asked to save morning land by the chicken sages. You accept and there you are saving morning land. There is about 7 places you have to bring morning back to each containing 5 objectives. The thing you use the most are....eggs! You use the eggs to kill enemies, jump and much more. Now enough about single player lets talk about the multiplayer. This is the BEST AND I MEAN THE BEST! Up to 4 players can compete in three exciting modes of play. Even though there's only 3 there still fun to even notice that you want more modes of play. There's hatch, time, and stock. In hatch the point is to hatch the most eggs that have animals in them. In time the hatcher has to try to kill the other hatchers and whoever gets the most kills wins. In stock its like kills only you have lives instead of getting kills. Billy Hatcher is a great game that deserves a try and far better. I hope billy hatcher is the greateast you ever play! Happy morning.

Bawk!

I thought this game was awesome. It's colorful and challenging.

The good things:
Egg Animals
Costumes
Character Designs
Basic Storyline
Enemies

The Bad things:
Cannons (Sheesh!)
V.S. mode (Pretty good, but really no point. As long as you're not on survival mode, you can die as much as you want.)
The Basic Egg (What's with not hatching an animal?)

Basically it's pretty good, but there are flaws.

Gotta love it!!!

I think that this game easily deserves a five becouse of all the great things in it. The graphics are awesome and the different settings in the game make it even better. I mean,who could turn down a game with a guy in a chicken suit who defends a race of talking chickens! And you even get to use an egg to destroy enemies who just so happened to carry friut. AND THEN... to top that you can feed the egg the fruit and hatch it into all sorts of animals to start the procces over again!!! This game is awesome and cool!!!

Who's the chicken?

Sega(the masters of video games) are back again with this action/adventure title from Sonic Team. The game plays exclusivly on Gamecube. It stars (as described in title) Billy Hatcher. A normal kid who was summoned to Morning land to bring day light back to their world and ours. With the bright worlds and childish humor it is no wonder they picked the GC for such a game. The levels are rather large. Taking place in five or more different sections per level. Each split into a kind of mini adventure. The controls can be frustraiting in the begining, but once you have gotten use to that it is clear sailing. The game is a kinda mixture of Mario Sunshine,and Nights. Night's influence into the game is obvious by the grading system at the end of each level, loops that hurl you through the air in some levels, the controls while dealing with an egg,the soundtrack,the character design,and the story. Mario's is obvious by having more than one objective to each level,and having to collect chicken coins,and emblems. (Instead of blue coins and stars)The real genius in the game however is the egg system. There are many different types of eggs. Each kind having a different item inside. Some are just additions to the chiken suit while others are egg animals. Each item will come in handy throughout the game. The most fun part is trying to hatch every egg you see just to see whats inside. Some are duds but they are rather easy to notice. Yet still come in handy at times. keep in mind that without an egg your pretty much hopeless. So you might want to try to keep one on hand. which should'nt be hard considering they are everywhere you look. I had a blast playing this title. I think anyone should.For those of you who have lots of partys this game also has a party game bonus that is for up to four players. Where you battle each other for the most points.Additional bonuses include mini games that you can download to the Game Boy Advance. If you have kids they will be hooked to it the instant you put it into the system and hit the power. Some adults might find it too childish ,but i still recommend playing it. I swear you'll have so much fun. Just to be on the safe side you might want to check into renting it. If you really like it buy it. If you kinda like it buy it used. It is made by SEGA so your gonna get a triple A game. One that your just going to fall in love with. They can do no wrong. So what are you waiting for? Go pick up a copy of Billy Hatcher today!!!

AW-SOME!

WOW! Sonic Team made another game?! I love those sonic eggs.(And I hope I don't get that fat bird again.) I raced King Clippen and Queen Rabbish. And it looks like Chick has no nose. Oma-Oma is cute and Ponee is, too. So buy it.I'm telling you, buy it. If you're not buying it, you better buy it. So buy it.
