Whac-A-Mole DS

[Shane R. Monroe]

PURE ... MORBID ... curiosity made me buy this game. Suffice to say, if you go looking for information, you're not likely to find a lot ... Even Activision (the publisher) has NOTHING on the site.

I'll tell you this ... its not standard Whac-A-Mole.

The core of the game is smacking Moles of course, but they've added powerups, prizes, and other things. There is a weird patterned play too, where you whack patterns of Moles to continue. You can slide the rows of moles around to help make the patterns ... its halfway clever.

Some moles in higher levels cannot be standard whacked - you have to perform a simple gesture over the mole to smack him. Not bad.

It does feature both single and dual card multiplayer - haven't tried it yet.The book shows some decent multiplayer in here, though.

Considering this title should technically suck, it has some redeeming value. The question is - is it worth $29? I haven't decided yet. As a niche title, its going to be hard to ask that price.

If anyone is really interested, I'll shoot some screen caps, etc. and do a follow up on it.

Never even knew that existed, even did a google search and found very little although I did find a homebrew version http://www.gbax.com/gbax2005/GBAX2005rr.html there's also plenty of other GBA, DS and GP32 Homebrew games

If you could post some screens of the game that would be great.

Here is the best I could do without breaking out a tripod and the whole deal.

The net is VERY VERY light on the game to be sure ...

Maybe I'll shoot a short video of game play too.

Thank you shane,

looks interesting enough and the perfect platform for it. Strange how games like this slip under the radar. Again liklyhood of seeing this in the uk is zilch but if it does happen to cross the pond at £15-20 it will certainly grab my attention.
