    10 December 2011

    There's a trend happening with puzzle games. Henry Hatsworth would not look out of place on the Game Boy Advance. The music is, for lack of a better word, schizophrenic. Read more

    • Tons of charm, Great music, A great meld of two disparate genres, Solid controls, A good amount of depth

    Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is a fun game that will leave you glued to your DS for hours on end. Even if the two portions of Henry Hatsworth were separated into their component parts, you’d still have an entertaining game on your hands. Overall, the game is well designed and beggars the question, why didn’t anyone think of this before now? Read more

    • Great combination of puzzle and platformer., Nice graphics, Lots of fun, Henry is just too dashing for words
    • It’s easy to get overwhelmed in some areas as a lot of enemies appear on the screen and you have to defeat them all to proceed, Not enough people as dashing as Henry i...

    Publisher EA should be praised for creating such a unique game - the fusion of hardcore platforming and block-based puzzling isn't something we've ever seen before. Read more

    • Unique combination of genres, Always fun
    • Does nothing spectacularly well, Gets very hard

    The platform- and puzzle genre in my opinion can't be on a better platform than Nintendos handheld. The idea to bring them together in one single DS game is therefore perfectly understandable and brings even truly innovative gameplay. That's why it's even more unfortunate that the finishing is a little weak. Maybe next time? Read more

    • Original concept, Nice atmosphere, Switching between platform and puzzle works well
    • Unbalanced difficulty degree, Generic enemies, Sometimes frustrating and repetitive

    As I sit back to write this review I have been asking myself whether or not Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is the best game I have played on the DS to date. Well, if it is not the best game I have played on Nintendo’s handheld machine it is certainly the most fun I have had in quite some time. Being a fan of puzzlers and platformers, Henry Hatsworth is truly the best of both worlds. Read more

    It is only March and I already know Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is a very strong candidate for game of the year on Nintendo's handheld. The exciting adventure mode mixed up with the puzzle gameplay is a surprisingly good formula that's both entertaining and very rewarding. The controls are very smooth and accessible, and the design couldn't have been more creative. Read more

    Love puzzle games, but also love an adventure? Now you can have both in one game with Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure, an adventure-puzzle game that adds a new element of fun by combining the action of an adventure game with the challenge of a puzzle game all in one. Read more

    On the surface, Henry Hatsworth comes across as something casual gamers will enjoy and it is, for the first 25% of the game. After that, in spite of the casual puzzle element, cute story and creative characterization, enjoyment of the game can be seriously undermined by levels that feel like they were designed by sadists. Ultimately, the game requires more skill and frankly, more patience than many gamers, casual or otherwise, will be able to muster. Read more

    When a game meshes two genres together, there’s always the possibility that one facet is going to outshine the other. It’s a difficult balancing act to craft a game where both elements complement each other perfectly, but it’s a feat that EA have pulled off admirably well with Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure.

  1. On a quest to retrieve the golden suit (marioland mode) HH powers up from clever strategic play on the Tetris puzzle.

    On the holy grail to find and retrieve the 8-9 pieces of a magical golden suit (marioland adventure mode), HenryH renews his strength and boosts his powers to do so from some quick and clever strategic play on the colour puzzle. Two games in one. Very "ye olde" English all the way. The dialogue is garbled on purpose (supposed to be funny) which I've found rather annoying. HH's conversation with a young apprentice prompts and gives instruction on the gameplay. Read more or see product
