Happy Hammerin' Review
by Lucas M. Thomas - IGN.com | 02 March 2010 12:00WiiWare Whack-a-Mole.
Happy Hammerin' is Whack-a-Mole on WiiWare. Developed by the same team who handled the classic Clubhouse Games for Nintendo, this design is also based on an old standby -- the mechanical, mallet-equipped animatronic mole mashing machines you remember from birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese when you were seven.
The nostalgia works and the idea's converted well enough, but the game's just a bit too thin all around to recommend. It all just boils down to the same repetitive pounding motion with the Wii Remote, again and again, in every mode. The moles are presented in a variety of settings, and there's even support for up to four players -- but no matter how it's dressed up, the gameplay's still just a constant flailing of your wrist. Add in the fact that the game will sometimes lose track of your on-screen cursor's position for extended periods of time and you've got a total package that accomplishes little more than bringing back memories of the good times you had eating pizza and earning prize tickets as a kid.
