Based on Britain's popular computer animated series, airing in the United States on the Cartoon Network, Sitting Ducks for PlayStation 2 has players controlling an affable duck named Bill and his sidekick friend Aldo, who just so happens to be an alligator. Played from a third-person perspective, the game has players journeying throughout a 3D re-creation of DuckTown, where the duo will meet up with such familiar characters as Ed, Oly, and Waddle, hitch a ride on a scooter, and perform various other task-oriented activities to help out friends in need.

This mission-based game is primarily aimed at children. The player explores a large city and its surroundings, guiding Bill and Aldo through more than twenty missions, which are mainly composed of mini-games. Progressing through the game, the heroes will be able to get different modes of travel including skateboards and scooters. The game environment includes side missions and interactive areas such as a soccer field, swimming pool, skating arena, hockey rink and more.

Features:
Explore Ducktown by engaging in over 50 unique missions
Based on the hit British cartoon
