Summary

Some fans go a little too far, as you'll find out in Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Kaznapped! Play as Ami or Yumi and use their unique skills to solve puzzles and pass obstacles. Recover the girls' missing wardrobe by outwitting fans and dangerous Kaz-bots. Unlock mini-games and costumes and find hidden items that fans will recognize from the TV series. Harmony, Puffy AmiYumi's annoying, obsessed Number One Fan wants to go on tour with Ami and Yumi. That’s not something the girls are interested in. Since Harmony can’t go on tour with the girls, she decides to go on tour like the girls and makes off with Kaz, the girls' manager, and a stack of the band's musical instruments! If Harmony completes her tour, she'll become an even bigger star than Puffy AmiYumi, and Kaz will be lost forever! Pack your bags and set off for a wacky, funny journey. [Nintendo]

Overall, Altron and D3 have a real chart-topper for fans of the show with Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Kaznapped!. The levels are short enough for quick play while traveling and battery backup means you can save as you go (no passwords!).

GameZone

Technically it’s not innovative, but it IS very polished, challenging, addictive, and features more action than 99% of the movie and TV-licensed games available. A must-buy for AmiYumi fans.

There's something strangely narcissistic about games starring musicians as themselves.

That it does what it does with such colorful flair and tight pacing is the pleasant surprise that makes htis entertaining piece of fluff rise above the licensed-character hop-and-battle scrap heap. [Jan 2006, p.111]

AceGamez

Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi fans in the five to ten year age range will probably love this game because it isn't very difficult, it's based on well-known cartoon characters and there are a few mini-games and incentives that will keep them entertained.

Natsuri I. gave it a10:
It's very good, Kaznapped strikes a great balance between fun and challenging, considering the effort to unlock everything that is there. The short plot is the only shortcoming, but if you're a HHPAY fan, then you're in for a real treat!
