OK. As you can see HH has received some incredible reviews. Based on this I selected up a copy expecting to be completely wowed. To say I was completely underwhelmed would not be a understatement.
Firstly, and most importantly, who in the heck thought this gibberish form of “voice” acting was acceptable? Perhaps I am the only person in America to reflect this was akin to nails on a chalkboard? Seriously when I HAVE to turn off the sound within 5 minutes of starting the game that is never a excellent sign!! I was led to believe it had “charming” dialogue. The actual dialogue (written) is o.k. (nowhere near as excellent as other DS sports meeting) but the incredibly off putting, I can only call it gibberish, that you have to listen to every time there is a conversation is downright painful. And this from someone who is playing Suikoden Tierkreis which has one of the WORST voice acting parts for its main character. Seriously. It’s that terrible in my opinion.
So, I thought, everyone is raving it must get better! Cheerio chap trudge on. Eeek. Middle of the second level I just gave up. It just never got better. The puzzling is a very watered down bejeweled–and you can only go one way. That’s it. The platforming was not terrible–but I admit that platforming is my least favorite of all types of sports meeting. I found myself running owing to killing enemies and tensing up and all the sudden I would need to go to the puzzle stage…but I was still wound up from the platforming and I found it extremely hard to then focus on the puzzle aspects. This is not he first time I’ve dealt with action on both upper and lower screen either–I managed it just fine in The World Ends With You–with multiple play throughs on all difficulties!!!
I will share that I prefer role play sports meeting and puzzle sports meeting. I like some action/adventure sports meeting (Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia type). I normally don’t like platformers–but to be honest I’ve liked a few of them recently like Boing Docomodake. I like puzzles sports meeting and have played owing to many of the ones available for the DS. I just cannot find much to recommend this title to be honest. I found the voicing gibberish to be abysmal, the platforming to be honestly hard and the puzzling to be very dull. I don’t see what all the raving is about.
I did read several critic reviews and some mentioned this was really for the more hard core gamer. I would have to agree with that. If you do not like platforming it seems to me you will not like this game. As I said I don’t like platforming but I can appreciate a well done one and have done so in the past. I reflect the more casual gamer will just get too frustrated too quick. If you don’t mind the gibberish spoken by the characters (I mean literally gibberish!!!) then it’s likely you could go further in this game. I’m going to see if anyone at my work wants this one or trade it in. It is visibly not for me. Your mileage may vary. I bought another EA game right before this one–Zubo. I am really loving that one although its much more simplistic and asinine than I usually like. So I guess 1 out of 2 is not terrible.
Abridged: Yes I know this is a platform game–but it is also a puzzle game. It was promoted to be a hybrid—unique form of this particular combo. So, in my theory anyway (even if flawed), if I LOVE puzzle sports meeting and I like some platform sports meeting I should find enough in here to like–especially given the rave reviews this is getting from people. That is all I meant by saying you will only like this game if you REALLY like platformers…because honestly that’s the only excellent part…the puzzling is just far to weak to really matter.

It is a excellent, fun game and I was so excited to find one! But after only days of playing, i got stuck! The game got too hard too quick. the lady at the game store i bought it at told me an 8 year ancient girl brought it in used. she said if the girl could play it, i probally could as an adult. but when i looked in the menu, her game was in there at only 12% complete. I got that far in just a few hours! the game would be exact if it stayed unadorned and fun!

This game is incredible. If you’re at all a fan of super polished, extremely charming sidescrollers (like Goemon or Strider or Kirby or Ristar or Rayman or Starfy or Mega Man) than stop reading and buy this game. I’m not even that huge a fan of puzzle titles, and I gotta admit, the puzzle component to Henry Hatsworth had me hooked.
So the game is a sidescroller, but the bottom screen has a puzzle game constantly (at a snail’s pace) going on. At any time, you can switch between which game/screen you’re effective on (while puzzling, the top screen is paused). As you do stuff in the platformer parts, you build up a bar that lets you stay in the puzzle game. And as you puzzle away, you earn powerups that take immediate effect in the platformer half. For example; clear a lightning block in puzzle mode, and when you return to the platformer part a lightning shock will paralyze all enemies on screen. There are tons of powerups, so you’re encouraged to puzzle away, and since you only have to play it in small bursts, it gets quite addicting quick. It’s frankly, brilliant. I can’t believe no one has ever combined these two genres before! Let alone so well.
The game is gorgeous with personality to spare; this dude and his crazy, exciting, London-esque world (complete with his tea-time robot suit, and Union Jack anime-stylishness swooshy social class) is way too loveable. The art all around is splendid, with fantastic use of colors and loads of personalities for every character in the game. The gameplay is rock solid – this guy can platform with the best of them. The fighting is tight, open and rewarding, with nice amount of depth (juggles!). And the platforming is kept fresh with plenty of new moves. For example, once you find the Golden Gentleman’s Trousers, you can do wall jumps – which comes in handy ‘cuz you’ll need ‘em. The levels are really well designed. The game is fantastic!
It’s original, it’s charming, it’s polished, it’s unique – but most importantly it’s fun as heck. I can’t believe that Tiburon, the same EA studio responsible for Madden year in and year out, had the creativity and skill to place this together. If no one told me, I’d swear this was a long lost Konami or Capcom SNES game. It’s fantastic.
Buy it!

This is not your brood puzzle game! This game is splendid- hard and just slightly frustrating. It has some depth to it- the basic gameplay is a mix of Mario Bros on the top screen of the DS, and Bejeweled on the bottom (you only play one at a time). So far I’m not even halfway owing to the game, and I’ve already played hours of it.

I finished up getting this game for free from a friend and was thrilled about it. From the start the top screen mario-stylishness action was consistently challenging enough to remain fun. The bottom screen bejewled-stylishness game play was never overly challenging, but gifted and fun in the way that it effected the top-screen play. After getting to the third or fourth level though I found myself completely unable to beat the level boss. I checked with a friend to learn that he had also had a lot of difficulty starting around that level. I’ve seen reviews from others who seem to have completed the game with no difficulty, but I was unable to complete this game as I grew too frustrated to wish to continue. This is perhaps not a excellent game for children or those who get frustrated easily as one might initially take upon yourself.
