Hamtaro
Ham-Hams Unite!
Guest Review

Don’t
be fooled by the first part of the name! In fact this game is perfect
for all kids whose parents don’t want them to play some of
the much weirder Gameboy Color games out there. You play as a hamster
scurrying around trying to find all of his hamster friends in time
for a big surprise. By now your probably thinking this game will
be like “Barney’s Hide and Seek Game” for the
Sega Genesis. No, this game is higher above that.
When you start
off you are told about the newest craze Ham-Chat words, and if you
look at the cartoon you will find that words like “KooshKoosh”
and “DigDig” are used constantly and are only used when
Hamtaro is doing something. Well they have taken these, put them
in the game, added a few and created Ham-Chat! Using Ham-Chat words
I thought made the game all worthwhile, giving it its RPG feel an
interesting addition.
In
the economics of sunflower seeds–where money truly grows on trees–you
can buy Hats, Clothes, dance music, and other items (you can even
buy a Gameboy at one point) enabling you to dress your hamtaro anyway
you like. Also if you want to see your hamtaro dance (who wouldn’t?)
to themes like “Mary Had a Little lamb” then you can
by buying dance music.
Another thing
great about this game is that it will take a lot of road trips,
boring moments, and wherever else you play this game for you to
get all the shop items, complete every level, learn all the Ham-Chat
words, and get all the dance music, making this a long but enjoyable
and wholesome game.
Being a great
game I would give it 9 *.
