Oh Hamtaro, a great anime hamster. And he got his own video game that made it here in America! But is it good? Or has nostalgia mistaken me?Game: Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! / Tottoko Hamutarou 2 - Hamu-chan Zu Daishuugou Dechi
Systems: Game Boy Color
Release Dates: 4/21/01 (JP), 10/28/02 (NA), 1/10/03 (EU)
Developers: Pax Softnica
Where Are All the Ham-Hams?
Story: I forgot how simple the story is. Hamtaro shows up at the clubhouse one day and Boss needs his help. The ham-hams are missing so he asks Hamtaro to go round all of them up. So now it is up to Hamtaro to gather up all the Ham-hams for whatever Boss needs.
Explore the World as a Hamster!
Gameplay: You play as Hamtaro as you explore the town. Select an area to go in and just walk around. You use the D-pad to walk around and the A button to talk to people. When you talk to people, they may give you hints on where some of the ham-hams are. You speak to ham-hams with “ham chat”. Ham chat is pretty much animal (or hamster) language. You can learn more words as you are out and about talking to others. These words are pretty much basic commands and words (such as “Hi”,”Yes”,”No”, ect.). In some areas, there is a little shopping area where you can buy outfits for Hamtaro to wear (not in game but eh). And some other shopping areas have some items that are needed for some people throughout the game.
This game is very simple so there isn’t a whole lot to it. It’s not bad, it is pretty fun.
Bring On the Chiptune Music!
Music: Ohh yes! Chiptune music! Man this music is very memorable, even to this day. But is it fun to listen to on a daily basis? Not really. It’s not great music, but it’s memorable to me.
A Fun Game for All Ages?
Overall: Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! is a pretty good game. It may be nostalgic to some (for those who grew up with the anime). It’s a pretty good game even though all you’re doing is running around trying to get your fellow ham-hams back to the Clubhouse.
