My Take on the GameI was a Yogi Bear fan when I was a kid, and I found it very interesting to find that movie makers were bringing him back after so many years. Never-the-less, in this game you are able to step into the shoes of Yogi Bear, and have some adventurous fun along the way. 

In playing the game, I found it to be fun and engaging. The graphics on the DS version that I tried were ok, yet there were times that I thought they cold have been a bit stronger. It was nice however that they did use Dan Aykroyd during the voiceovers in the game itself. One of the pieces that I found to be loads of fun in the DS game was the mini-game that allows you to build crazy vehicles.

All-in-all the game was fun, and you get to get a good feel for the movie while you are at it. My daughters tried the game out and said that it was a blast as well... so from the mouths of the young...this game is a keeper!
