The Hamster group is called the Ham-Hams in the English and the Hamu-chans in the Japanese version. And it's the animation that gives the game its personality each of the 85 different hamspeak worlds has its own motions, and they're all drawn adorably.Before starting into Hamtaro himself, it's best to know the other Hamsters that are in the series. It's probably nothing more than a modified version of the overhead Pokemon engine, but the characters are large and well animated. The game's definitely not up there with the Game Boy Advance standard, but compared to what developers were pulling off on the GBC two years ago, this game actually looks quite nice in its simplistic colors. Hamtaro was actually released in Japan early last year, which would explain why it's released specifically for the Game Boy Color. There are even a couple of simplistic mini-games, including Ham-Jam where players can piece together Hamspeak animations and "dance" to the music that they've collected in the adventure (ten different songs in all), as well as a silly little carnival game, "Tack-Q Bowling." And when the main quest is over, you can still go back through the different areas and locate the several hidden stars to finish the game one hundred percent. Your hard-earned Sunflower Seeds (the game's currency) can also be exchanged for clothing items, which can then be worn back at the clubhouse playing dress-up will alter Hamtaro's look on the title screen, and players can also trade their dress-up creations through the Game Boy Color's infra-red port (sorry GBA owners). Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!, like most of Nintendo's videogame offerings nowadays, is a game of collecting You can complete the game with only 70 or so Hamspeak words in your vocabulary, so one challenge after you round up the troops and "end" the adventure is to complete your Hamspeak dictionary. The actual adventure is a good, solid 15 hours from start to finish, but even when it's all done, you're far from finished what the game has to offer. Luckily the roadblocks come few and far between.and usually when you get stuck it's because you overlooked something extremely simple. The game's obviously tailored for the young kids, what with its cute conversations and references to the Cartoon Network anime, but even I found myself stuck for a good couple of hours towards the end of the game. When your Hamspeak choices include blanks with question marks, that's a prime hint that you need to hunt down another character in the game and learn a new word. After all, there's a finite amount of things you can do in the game, so if you don't get somewhere in one area, simply run around the different locations until you can activate a conversation with your limited Hamspeak vocabulary. The puzzles in Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! are plentiful, but generally easy to understand. From there, it's up to you to figure out the proper words necessary to get through the adventure. When you meet a new face, give them a friendly "Hamha!" If you don't get anywhere with that critter, give them a rolling "tack-q" to force a conversation out of them. With these first four words in your vocabulary, you must set off into the real world and put them to use. Early in the adventure he's given the absolute basic of Hamspeak words: the standard Ham-Ham greeting ("Hamha!"), a dig command ("Digdig!"), a sniffing command ("Hif-hif!"), and an rolling attack ("Tack-Q"). Each of the 85 different words in the Hamspeak language activates an action that can solve puzzles all over the different areas. Basically, all Hamtaro can do is talk in the Hamspeak language, but he can only say words that he's learned throughout the adventure. Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! is an extremely basic adventure, but it's deceptively fun and engrossing in its simplicity. Players need to take control of Hamtaro the hamster and take him through the several different locations in the game to get all eleven Ham-Hams back to the clubhouse where Boss can show off his latest creation. But to unveil his hard work, he needs to get everyone together.
