 21st Century style Whac a mole April 10, 2007

This game was not as much fun as I had hoped. It is a little difficult to properly catch a mole as the tap on the screen is sometimes not detected.(my DS is brand new and works properly) It is also a little hard due to the small viewing area. I let my friend's daughter (age 9) play it and she had fun but scored very low.

You turn on the game and think you just hit the moles that pop out and you make it pass the first round.... If you don't have the instruction book, then don't think you are going to make it much farther. Boring, not worth the money...glad I rented it.

I bought the game for $19.99...thinking that a brainless game would be a good break from thinking games. I mean it's Whac-A-Mole...how hard can it be? Because it's computerized, you get gold moles (more points), hairy moles (sucks points away), etc. There aren't "in game" instructions, so you have to keep the book nearby. Overall, I'm just not impressed...I wanted a chance to beat on some moles, not have to read a book in order to play. I could only figure out a couple of things on my own.
Gameplay ends quickly if you don't read the book. Moles don't go away on first hit all the time (unless you hit the screen harder). I wonder about the long term effects that could have on the life of your Nintendo DS.
I tried to get rid of the game at Game Stop a couple of days later...they are offering $2. I'll give it to a friend, hopefully her kids will have more fun with it.

Hey...sometimes you want a game that you literally don't have to think ..... just play and laugh...you don't have to remember rules and characters. You want to let off some steam ...wac-a-mole for a few minutes..... Geez its a video game. Lighten up... I'll use my brain for more important stuff
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME November 21, 2005

I purchased his game hoping that there would be a hint of Wario-Type games, but instead, this game sucks!! The arcade mode is very boring and lame, and the puzzle mode could have been done a lot better. Considering all the competition out there with the other platforms-- (PSP), you would think the games coming out would be a little better quality. This game seems to have been made without a lot of thought put in to it--but then again--HEY, IT'S WHACK A MOLE right???
