''Hnery Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure'' is an adventure/puzzle game developed by EA (EA Tiburon) and released in 2009. It's an amazing game that mix up adventure with puzzles through the entire game which is wonderful if you like both genres as well as it can be a little bit annoying if you're not familiar with these mixed-genres games. Enjoyable, original and tough. This is one of the funniest games of the NDS and one of the hardest at the same time. If you like adventure/puzzle games, this one is for you.
By George! What a spiffing game; festooned with charm and wealth. A jolly good show of the DS' capabilities: part platformer part puzzler and equal parts tremendous. Harry is a real good egg and this game oozes character.
Henry Hatsworth is one of the most unique games on Nintendo DS. A good game that blends the action - platforming genre with traditional puzzle gaming exceptionally well.
The whole package is very much worth playing through, even if it doesn't do much of anything outright new apart from the genre combination. This is the title, like Retro Game Challenge, that is helping to keep the classics around. And for good reason: everybody should get the chance to play them.
This is one of my favourite games ever and certainly my favourite on the DS.
Henry Hatsworth is not everyone cup of tea (excuse the pun), I'd suggest you either adore it, or aren't a fan. The innovative game combines platforming, action, and puzzle all with a good dollop of humour. The first 3-4 worlds are fairly simple and are pretty much there to try and prepare you for the final world which I should warn you, is very very difficult. Few people have played this game, but even fewer have finished it as it becomes very unforgiving later on punishing any mistakes. The puzzle element of the game almost starts out as a separate game because you get that much time to do it. But by the finals levels you must quickly switch between the two, attempting to get yourself extra life and power to be able to continue through the game. And the final boss is absolutely epic. A truly amazing game that those like myself who do finish it, will feel very smug and rightly so.
Is it one of the best platforms in the modern era, ingeniously mixed with puzzle elements to give it a unique feel? Or, was it an over-rated suprise hit that capitalized on fans hunger for more platform/action titles durring a long onslaught of DS RPG's? Well, it's a little bit of both. But the good far outweighs the bad here. Addictive music, nice character interplay that had me laughing several times (there is genuine humor here in this game), and probably one of the better platform titles to come out of the DS. Game play is very fun and loose, the villian bosses are actually pretty challenging (but fun too), and the game gets increasingly difficult as you go along. After playing the first world (mysteria), I thought I'd made a mistake in purchasing the game, sinmply b/c it was rather easy. But World 2 comes at you pretty fast and furious, and the game continues increasing difficulty to the end.
Granted, they really could have upped the ante here. Certainly, this could have been an 8 world game, and I think EA didnt totally give us the most for our buck (there is some schintzing here): once you've beat the game , it doesnt have the re-playability factor of say, Super Mario 3. You cant still play. The puzzle aspect intensifies original gaming, but doesnt hold up with repeat play.(once you've beat the game)
It's a nice game. Funny, completent platform aspects, smooth controls, but EA could have put a bit more chomp into this.
Still, I'd really like a sequel to this. A superior sequel. One i think EA can deliver. If they choose to.
