My 10 year old daughter loves it!

Purchased for my daughter in combo with a new DS. Didn't think this would be her favorite but she absolutely loves it. She also has one of the Nintendogs games and loves it as well. She plays both games equally.

More like Ham-burgled

As a huge fan of hamsters and DS games that simulate pet ownership, I was extremely excited when I first saw an article on this game in EGM ("Ubisoft Unveils Latest Halo Killer").

Unfortunately, as happens so often, the game just didn't live up to the hype, and it was entirely because of the absence of any kind of Ham-Country. This game could have been like a million times more awesome if they just gave you some kind of hamster wheel or maybe one of those bottles with a ball bearing in the nozzle. Man, that would have been sweet!

Sigh. Thinking about what could have been just makes my disappointment all the more bitter.

No "Ham-Country"

Before I got this game, I thought it looked kinda cute. When I played it, it was okay, but pretty boring overall. You can teach your hamster to talk, which was kind of fun but sometimes I said one thing, and it thought I said another thing. Also, in order to play the mini games, you have to wait for your hamster to want to play and then it picks a mini game and a difficulty. The biggest dissapointment was the Ham-country. There isn't one. After I played it for a while, I couldn't find anything about the ham country in the game booklet or in the game. I looked at some sites, and other reviewers said there is no ham country, and it was a misprint. Overall, this game was a huge dissapointment, but still a little fun if you like taking care of vitual pets.

Great fun

This game was a let-down.

The North American version seems to have a problem and the Ham-Country was left out of the final game. I suggest contacting UbiSoft to verify before purchasing, to be sure of what you are getting. I haven't seen any updated news as to if the game will be re-released correctly. That is information I saw while visiting gaming fan sites that were discussing this game at great length.

Another problem with the gameplay is the very poor text translation. Some of the phrases the hamster says are difficult to understand because the English is so poorly typed.

The hamsters are cute and the mini-games aren't too bad, on the random times you will get to play them. The hamster chooses the difficulty and game each time, sometimes it may be easy and others very difficult. Like another reviewer stated, you do have to wait for the hamster to want to play before you get a chance at the mini-games. That all together puts another cramp into the fun.

Overall, not worth purchasing. If you can find the game for rent, it's not too bad for a short term bit of fun though.

Daughter loved this DS Game.

My daughter loved it and it has mini games. It is worth the price, daughter plays it all the time. It is like a virtual pet.

I got this game for Christmas from my Grandma. It is very cute and fun. Everyone hates this game because they think there's no Ham Country. Well there is!!!! You just have to wait until your hamster grows up, the game will show it getting bigger and bigger. If you think that there is only your ham's cage and your room, you W.R.O.N.G.! I have 7 hamsters and 3 of them just got bigger today.

I'm sick of one or two star ratings of this game. It's your opinon, but I just love this game. If you like video games and love hamsters, save up your money and buy this game NOW!!! Like I said, it's cool! :')

My daughter loves this game

My 6 year old has been asking for a hamster, but we have two cats. So I thought this would be a close second. She loves all the hamsters - she has 6 (though the instructions say you can have 4 or 5)! It's fun getting new cages, toys and accessories for them. They even GROW! Don't tell, but I even enjoy playing it from time to time. Reminds me of when I had hamsters growing up.

my childs favorite game

I bought this game for my daughter who is 11 years old and a huge animal lover! The game is a lot of fun, but beware when the hamsters get too old they die! Yikes! I found my daughter crying over a dead computer hamster!
