IGN: Hammerin’ Hero Review

Hammerin’ Hero is the kind of game we old fogeys rarely get to see. It’s a deliberately old-school throwback to the days when teeny little hit boxes, carefully planned attacks, perfect jumps and the almighty end-level score tally were all that mattered. 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.
