  • Summary: All the hamsters are bickering, and there's little wonder why! Spat, a meddling troublemaker, is telling fibs and causing heartache everywhere. It's up to Hamtaro and best-girl Bijou to follow Spat, stop the squabbling, and get everyone back on talking terms again.

    It's a saccharine-sweet little big adventure, which engrossed us right through to the end, and if you're in the market for a spot of light relief in your adventuring, you could do worse than give Ham-Ham Heartbreak a little TLC.

    A pleasant enough game that seems like a sure way to keep fans of the show happily occupied for hours on end. Older gamers who aren't turned off by the cutesy style and themes will find a moderately long and generally amusing trip through this silly little cartoon world.

    The sheer amount of variety makes up for the game's simple design, and the story is positively adorable. [Summer 2003, p.41]

    Controlling cute hamsters into having cute conversations is definitely not everyone's cup o' tea, but it's hard to ignore that the game has a certain engrossing charm.

    A cute, enjoyable game that is suitable for young players. [Apr 2003, p.135]

    Running around trying to solve puzzles with trial and error just isn't fun, but it is an improvement over the last game.

    I really wish it had been made more accessible - cute without being cloying, tricky without being frustrating, and so forth. While a decent intro to the dating sim in the United States, it will require a lot of work before this can ever catch on.
