	Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg for GameCube Review - GameCube Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg Review
		Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Sonic Team's latest platformer, carries on this tradition with aplomb, creating an adorable protagonist and an equally warm-and-fuzzy world for him to run around in.
		Billy Hatcher is cute--possibly too cute for his own good.
		With this funny-looking costume at his command, Billy is charged with the task of ridding Morning Land of the evil crows, who have imprisoned the rest of the chicken elders.

	Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Billy Hatcher is simply one of those games that some people are simply going to look at and shake their heads at, simply based on the premise.
		Billy Hatcher in and of himself is one of the most useless video game heroes ever created.
		Billy Hatcher is a decent game, but it certainly didn't live up to the potential it had.

	First Impressions - Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg // GameCube /// Eurogamer
		Billy Hatcher, by comparison, is like a triple-strength sugar injection straight to the brain.
		Billy has been charged with a quest (groan, we might tell you more later) on which he has to liberate six village elders and banish six demonic bosses from the region, before moving on to the final showdown with the crows' nefarious leader, who is planning to pinch a sacred artefact.
		Thanks to this ridiculously childish plot, Billy Hatcher wears a magical chicken suit, enemies are big, round and sweet (even the ferocious dinosaurs look cuddly), and levels are bright and colourful.

	GameSpy.com - Review
		While Hatcher has some neat ideas and cute characters, it's too rough around the edges to compare to the stellar platformers that brought Sonic Team to prominence in the first place.
		The heroic Billy Hatcher is interesting mainly in that he's almost completely useless without an egg.
		Billy and friends spout amusingly mangled English, and the music is upbeat and extremely fitting.

	Gaming Nexus
		Billy Hatcher certainly looks like a great platformer; it seems to have all the right elements to make a fun game, and yet comes up short in every way possible.
		Sega’s newest action title introduces us to a young Billy Hatcher, who is chosen, for what seems like no reason at all, to save the chickens and their eggs from a pack of evil crows.
		As the title implies, Billy Hatcher’s main source of power are the eggs he pushes, throws, and jumps around with.

	BillyHatcher
		Billy finds himself stuck in the middle of all this upheaval, and he and his friends are the only ones who can save the Chicken Elders.
		Billy Hatcher's level of difficulty is a bit higher than you'd expect, with harder puzzles that require a bit of brainpower to defeat.
		Billy Hatcher's abundant originality and clever inventiveness are two elements that have been sorely lacking in many games as of late, making this a welcome change of pace.

		Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Sonic Team's latest platformer, carries on this tradition with aplomb, creating an adorable protagonist and an equally warm-and-fuzzy world for him to run around in.
		As a small aside, Billy Hatcher also features a four-player battle mode where you face off against your friends in an arena, but there isn't a whole lot of depth to this feature, and despite being one of the three main menu options, it's not really that significant an addition.
		Billy is pretty much worthless on his own and is only able to run, jump, and climb up ledges.

	ESPN.com - Voice of '86: Billy Hatcher
		Billy Hatcher was the Astros center fielder and leadoff hitter in 1986.
		I went to get some pine tar, and heard a little girl -- she couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 years old -- say to Billy, "That's all right, Billy, Billy's going to hit a home run." As I was running around the bases, I thought of that little girl.
		Hatcher is currently a bench coach for the Devil Rays.

	The MagicBox Forums - Billy Hatcher & The Giant Egg Review
		Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg has a good look, one that's bright, colorful, and cheery in a way that lets you know it was produced by Sonic Team.
		Billy looks and moves in an exaggerated fashion that works seamlessly with the rest of the game's visual design, though he's also very reminiscent of past Sonic Team characters, to the point that he could probably sneak into the next Sonic the Hedgehog game without anyone really thinking twice about it.
		The sound design in Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg furthers the game's cutesy atmosphere with lots of chicken-themed sound effects and theme music that is so simple, cheery, and nefariously catchy that it has a way of burning itself into the brain of anyone exposed to it.

	GamingWorld X - Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg Review
		It’s Billy Hatcher’s quest to not only save each of the Elders, but to also rid Morning Land of the nefarious crows and their leader.
		Billy Hatcher can easily be completed in a mere weekend’s time, and really offers no incentive to play through again.
		Unfortunately, while Billy Hatcher is a slightly amusing romp, the game does none of these things, instead being a game that warrants no more than a rental.

	Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg Preview
		Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is essentially a 3D platformer if we’ve got to attempt and pigeonhole it, where players control a young boy named Billy Hatcher equipped with a powerful suit that makes him look like a rooster and allows him to control special eggs – just don’t ask!!!
		The egg also plays a large part in Billy’s defensive and offensive tactics; it can be used as a shield to protect Billy from missiles and attacks, he can use it to roll over enemies and to speed through levels, and he can also fire the egg at opponents using a nifty R-Targeting system.
		Whilst Billy Hatcher requires you to explore locations rather than simply racing through them, the larger areas are broken up into fast, race-like sequences, as Billy attempts to roll his eggs down spiralling tracks and through loops which speed you up in a Sonic like motion.

	Animefringe: Reviews - Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
		I was particularly stoked after discovering that Billy Hatcher was going to be an original title instead of a sequel to an older franchise.
		While Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg follows the same pattern every 3D game has held since Mario 64, the control scheme is unique with the addition of the giant eggs, making this a different gaming experience than other 3D platformers.
		Billy Hatcher also includes a versus mode for multiple players, though I was too addicted to the single player mode to feel like letting others play against me in the multiplayer aspects of the game.

	Billy Hatcher And The Giant Egg Nintendo Gamecube Video Game Review by AceGamez
		Billy Hatcher may be brave but he doesn't have his own super abilities; he's just a normal kid trying to do good.
		Billy Hatcher comes complete with 3 different multiplayer modes for up to four players each and they are all a blast.
		Billy Hatcher And The Giant Egg is a great, feel-good, fun platformer that makes a great rental for single player and a good purchase for multiplayer and people who love to get every little thing from a game.

	IGN: Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg Review
		For example, Hatcher may come to a switch shrouded in fire, so he'll have to find, feed, grow, and then hatch a blue water egg, which will in turn give birth to a creature that can spray the liquid onto the flame and distinguish it.
		Though the worlds in Billy Hatcher are varied, the goal is always more or less the same: to find the right egg, hatch it and proceed.
		Hatcher will use the eggs to roll across floating coaster trails, to zoom through rings, to trampoline up levels of platforms, to defeat bosses, and more, for instance, and all of these actions are fun.

	Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (cube: 2003): Reviews
		Billy Hatcher may never catch on as a marquee Sega character, but his debut is a somewhat fun game on the cartoony side of weird.
		Billy Hatcher's only significant flaw is its lack of a lengthy quest.
		Billy Hatcher is a perfect example of a title that fails on both counts.

		Billy has your typical videogame mission of bringing happiness and light back to an enchanted kingdom oppressed by an evil king.
		Billy can use the eggs themselves like bowling balls or trampolines, but sometimes the challenge is maneuvering the egg into position in the first place.
		Billy can also employ an egg-bounce to attack enemies or even to gain altitude to reach new areas.

	Gamebits: Billy Hatcher
		Billy's enemies are formidable, and there don't appear to be any power-ups that restore health.
		Billy doesn't really "raise" his animal helpers, nor can he do anything to modify their capabilities.
		There is nothing about Billy Hatcher that particularly lends itself to multiplayer fun; the creators seem to have simply inserted a multiplayer game into a single-player environment.

	Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg - GameCube Review
		Billy by himself is fairly helpless, unable to muster up even the weakest of punches; he can only run around like a chicken with his head cut off (my apologies for the bad joke) and crow at things.
		That said, those experiencing Billy Hatcher as a rental may be completely relegated to trial and error for the first hour or so of play.
		Billy Hatcher isn’t necessarily devoid of value, but the unnecessary pain involved in getting to the fun hardly seems worth the effort.

		Billy Hatcher is a boy who was chosen by the god of the chickens to rescue the chicken elders and bring sunshine back to chicken land.
		The chicken god subsequently gives Billy a chicken suit to wear to give him the power to control the eggs of the land.

		Billy can roll over these fruits such as cherries, bananas, and apples to fill the egg with yolk displayed on the lower left corner of the screen.
		Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg was created by SonicTeam; the same team that brought you the awesome Sonic the Hedgehog titles.
		Billy Hatcher offers a wide range of challenges that tests all aspects of your egg using abilities, but it gives you almost no motivation to attempt beating them.

	Billy Hatcher And The Giant Egg - GameCritics.com
		Kids will be pulling their hair out trying to get Billy to do what they want him to in some parts of the adventure because of the game's technical rough edges.
		Given a "legendary Chicken Suit" and told to rescue the world from evil crows, protagonist Billy Hatcher sets out to save the day by cleansing a trite and predictable variety of traditional levels (i.e., a snow area, a volcanic area, an Egyptian zone, and so on).
		Basically, an egg is required to bring Billy up to speed with what every other platform star usually has right off the bat, meaning that there aren't any significantly new slants to the traditional style of play.
