The cast of nutty characters are at it again! In this new Over the Hedge: Hammy Goes Nuts!  trailer for the PSP, Hammy and his gang display the kind of over-the-top energy that characterizes the game. Interestingly, Over the Hedge wasn't always this sugar-buzzed. It started as a comic strip, by Michael Fry and T. Lewis, about con-artist RJ the raccoon, Verne the philosophical turtle and Hammy, the squirrel.

In the recent film adaptation by Dreamworks, RJ tricks a group of woodlanders into venturing into suburbia. His motive was to help him get some food which he needs to pay back the supply he stole from a bear. Providing voices to the characters were Bruce Willis (RJ), Garry Shandling (Verne) and Steve Carrel (Hammy).

While the movie top-billed RJ the raccoon, the game is Hammy's territory and he runs away with it like a critter that forgot to take its ADHD medication. In fact, in "Hammy Time" Hammy turns into greased lightning overcoming his opponents in the blink of an eye. Fur will fly once the game starts.

In Over the Hedge: Hammy Goes Nuts! gamers can also play against up to three friends in wireless multiplayer mode and unlock secret features like comic strips, film stills and special gameplay modes. The PSP version of this title from Activision has eight playable arenas of multiplayer and several multiplayer modes.

Oops! QJ reader meh pointed out a boo-boo we committed in this article. Nick Nolte, in fact, did not provide the voice for Hammy the squirrel. It was Steve Carrel (the zany boss in The Office) who gave life to Hammy. Sorry about that and thanks meh.

For anyone interested.... QJ? HElloooo!?

Nick Nolte lent his voice to the bear, not to Hammy! If you guys do that for a leaving you'd better pull yourself together really soon. Such overall lack of professionalism in writing news whether it be technical or general news.
