Chicken Little is a 2005 action-adventure game developed by Avalanche Software for GameCube, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2 and Xbox and by Artificial Mind and Movement for the Game Boy Advance; both were published by Buena Vista Games. Based on the 2005 film Chicken Little, they were released in October 2005.

Plot

The game follows the same plot as the film Chicken Little. The game also features the original actors reprising their roles in the game, except for Joan Cusack (Abby) and Don Knotts (Mayor Turkey Lurkey) (who are replaced by Pamela Adlon and Jeff Bennett respectively).

Gameplay

Chicken Little is an action-adventure game. The player takes control of Chicken Little; occasionally the player is able to play as Abby, Runt, and Fish Out of Water in six different levels and Mayor Turkey Lurkey in one level. The player has to collect five baseball cards throughout each level of the game, the cards unlock special bonus mini-games in multiplayer mode.[2]

Reception

Chicken Little received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[3][4][5][6][7][9] Despite the mixed reception, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Chicken Little for "Children's Game of the Year" during the 9th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards.[10]

Sequel

A sequel to the game, titled Chicken Little: Ace in Action, was released for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and Wii on November 9 and December 11, 2006, and for Microsoft Windows on February 24, 2015.[11]
