Hammerin' Hero
Hammerin' Hero
Hammerin' Hero, développé par Irem Software Engineering Co. et édité par Atlus, est sorti le 7 mai 2009 sur PlayStation Portable. Ce jeu de plateforme met en scène un affrontement contre le gang Korumoku, qui a envahi la ville : le joueur utilise divers objets comme des marteaux, des battes ou des poissons pour repousser les ennemis et progresser à travers des lieux comme la station de télévision locale, la plage ou le terrain de baseball. La durée de la campagne principale est estimée à cinq heures et demie.
La presse a salué le titre pour sa simplicité et son charme, Thunderbolt évoquant des « hooks convaincants » pour maintenir l'intérêt dans un genre éprouvé, tandis que TotalPlayStation recommandait sans réserve l'achat du jeu, le présentant comme l'un des bons titres de la console portable.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It wields simplicity and charm as convincing hooks to keep players interested in a genre that hit its stride nearly two decades ago, and its as fun now as it was then. Platformers may be a dime a dozen these days, but there isn’t one game on the PSP that matches Hammerin’ Hero in pure style and refreshing playability. »
« Go buy Hammerin' Hero, especially if you've been whining about the lack of good PSP games. This is one of them. You need it. »
« With updated graphics that look fantastic on the PSP's screen and more depth than almost any of those old 8- and 16-bit classics, though, Hammerin' Hero manages to not feel old, just... retro. »
« Everything about Hammerin' Hero screams old-school good times. Enemies are highlighted in red, one hit can knock you out of the game, and there are a plethora of things to unlock. If you are a fan of this classic 16-bit style of action/platformers and own a PSP there is no reason to pass up this addictive little gem. »
« Still, it's a fun game, and not nearly as punishing on the difficult side as something like Prinny is, so I'd say most people could jump in and enjoy it. The levels are well thought out, the controls work extremely well, and it's a really nice looking title on the PSP. »
« Hammerin' Hero is fun, funny, and refreshing. I can't think of another locally available PSP game that has this much wierdness and Japanese quirk. »
« We fully recommend Hammerin' Hero because it doesn't hold back on the fun. »
« While combat isn’t very exciting, the levels will keep fans of the genre very entertained in a game that is the perfect pick for gamers of all ages. »
