"You would be forgiven if you didn't understand the big deal of what Hammerin' Hero is. Your character's movements are stiff, the plot is laughable and the game can seem cheaply difficult at times; why would anyone want to play this antiquated relic of a game?
It's these very so-called antiquated elements of the game that endear old-school platformers to people, and this game is a must-play for those fans."

ATLUS should get its own PSN Publisher Store if they keep on pumping out games on the PSN. SO far, EA(EA SPORTS), Capcom and R* got their own store.
They should put Demons Souls on the PSN store. It may be a huge, expensive download but it beats never finding a copy of the game.
Play-Asia is now offering Pump It Up EXCEED Portable for free if you purchase a copy of Atlus' fun-looking platformer Hammerin' Hero..
Pump It Up EXCEED Portable, the Korean-made rhythm game is also given away free if you purchase Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs...

Such was my response when the cashier at my local retailer asked me why I picked up Hammerin' Hero for the PSP, an obscure Japanese title brought over by Atlus. A throwback to the old Hammering Harry titles, the game is a 2.5D platformer touting stylish visuals, a wacky storyline, and an old school difficulty level. Remarkable on some levels and mediocre on others, Hammerin' Hero rises above its obscurity to become a title worth checking out for fans of classic 2D platforming."
This game is super fun, it's one of those quirky games that keep you smiling!
This game looks pretty awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on it
The PSP could use a good platformer like this. Great review guys!
Carter has some funny comments on the screen shots
This game looks like it's very retro.. almost reminds me of something that you would find on the SNES.. no?
looking at the review, one of the cons is lack of replay value. That might be an issue, as this game looks like the type that you'd play once and be done with it
