Gameplay[]
Players take place in Tucson, Arizona and control many animals to get the food back to the woods. They must fight their way to rescue Heather the Opossum from Dwayne LaFontant. They battle through many enemies, such as rats and bears. You can get the guns from the rats unlike most DreamWorks games where you never get a gun.
