Like many others have said, this game is truly better as a whole than its parts. Still, some state that thepuzzler is mediocre as well as the action: nothing further from the true. As a platformer, Henry is a very capable title, with a lot off depth: Some jumps require very good timing, others that you stand on the very edge; you can customize the health and several aspects of the gameplay buying upgrades, you acquire several apparels that ease (a bit) the difficulty, given a certain amount of energy, you suit up as a robot, and so on. The puzzler is good, and it gets more difficult as you progress (as well as the action). The first 3 worlds are a breeze, but then difficulty really ramps up, which might turn some people off, but I welcome the challenge. Also, there are some 12 hidden levels (with no enemies, just to do some gem grabbing).The gameplay is in the same vein as Puzzle Quest 1 and 2 (excellent games, both).The music is catchy and changes according the action. From level to level there are some variations. Also the graphics are, overall, more than OK. Nothing snazzy, but clear and colorful.For me it is a solid 8.5 out of 10, specially considering the price (20 new and about 12 used like new).

I originally bought this for my 10 year old god brother. I read the reviews for it on gaming websites (IGN and Gamespot) and they said that this was a pretty good game. Figured the combination of a block matching and action platformer was a good, “simple”, and entertaining game for him. When it arrived I (25 years old) tried it out and so did his sister (15 years old). We were both hooked and kept fighting each other for the game cartridge. The poor boy, the person it was originally intended for, was outed for his game. The game play is pretty frantic in that you have insanity happening both on the top and bottom screen.The good is that the cut scenes, music, and game play is pretty simple and very well executed. Controlling Henry on his escapade is very easy and if you make a mistake in miscalculating a jump or strike it is entirely your fault and not a weird glitch in the game. The enemies are clever, comical, and challenging. The cut scenes with their absolutely ridiculous voice work pays homage to those of Zelda, which means it’s more noises than words, with a British twist to it. The puzzle on the bottom screen is simple to master and if you don’t clear the dead enemy blocks it isn’t heartless enough to end the game so you are given a second chance to get rid of them.The bad, it is crazy intense. The level of difficulty does ramp up pretty fast leaving you dazed and confused at first because you will have a ton of enemies on the top screen which you must dispa.

This game is amazing. If you’re at all a fan of super polished, extremely charming sidescrollers (like Goemon or Strider or Kirby or Ristar or Rayman or Starfy or Mega Man) than stop reading and buy this game. I’m not even that big a fan of puzzle titles, and I gotta admit, the puzzle component to Henry Hatsworth had me hooked.So the game is a sidescroller, but the bottom screen has a puzzle game constantly (slowly) going on. At any time, you can switch between which game/screen you’re working on (while puzzling, the top screen is paused). As you do stuff in the platformer parts, you build up a bar that lets you stay in the puzzle game. And as you puzzle away, you earn powerups that take immediate effect in the platformer half. For example; clear a lightning block in puzzle mode, and when you return to the platformer part a lightning shock will paralyze all enemies on screen. There are tons of powerups, so you’re encouraged to puzzle away, and since you only have to play it in short bursts, it gets quite addicting fast. It’s frankly, brilliant. I can’t believe no one has ever combined these two genres before! Let alone so well.The game is gorgeous with personality to spare; this dude and his crazy, adventuresome, London-esque world (complete with his tea-time robot suit, and Union Jack anime-style swooshy background) is way too loveable. The art all around is great, with fantastic use of colors and loads of personalities for every character in the game. The gameplay is rock s.

This is one of those rare ds gems that kind of went unnoticed. Part side-scrolling platformer, part puzzle game; Henry Hatsworth does a great job combining to two game types and making a very satisfying game.

If you are a fan of either (or preferably both) platform games or puzzle games then you will love Henry Hatsworth! I must disagree with the other reviewer in regards to the story / characters being annoying. I find them quite endearing with the sound affects tied to each character being quite humorous and charming. The artwork is beautiful, and the sound is great for the game.The controls are where this game really shines in my opinion, platforming usually comes down to the simplest common factor, the jumping and general controls. Henry Hatsworth shines in both of those categories, the controls are so tight that you can really control the character with fantastic precision. The character doesn’t feel floaty or bloated in any way. The mechanics of the game are fantastic as well, complete puzzles to unlock bonus items, refill your life bar, and eliminate enemies. Switch back to the platforming and continue on your way. It keeps the game fresh all the way through.On top of that there are a ton of “power-ups” to unlock as you progress as well.Hours of fantastic gameplay wrapped up in a lovely little package. Definitely check it out if you like the two genres mentioned!Oh, lastly, I wouldn’t call this a “kids” game in any way. It offers some real challenge to even experienced gamers such as myself, but persistence will eventually get you through the game as well if you’re skills aren’t quite up to snuff.

This game has more variety than other puzzle games I’ve seen. It’s a cross between Tetris and Mario Brothers. Lots of fun

I read the reviews from ign about this game and it was also on their top 25 ds games of 2010 list. i took a chance and bought the game and i was glad that i did. i was pleasantly surprised that this game was really fun to play. i had no idea that you could play as the professor and swing swords like Link in the DS games. =P But not only you get to play in the 2D mode, but you also can play the puzzle part which gives it a unique touch to it and I think that was the reason why this game is a must-have, if not, a must-try!

I’ve been playing video games for 15 years now, I am not easy to impress, I’ve been harshly critical of the Wii/360 generation in terms of originality and the emphasis on online play over campaign modes. I’ve played any 2D platformer game that matters, and I own more systems then you can count. All that being said I find that Henry Hatsworth is one of the most original and inventive games I’ve ever played, it essentially combines megaman with tetris attack to make one of the most addicting original and hilarious platformers I’ve ever playedIt’s absolutely essential for anyone who owns a DS, and it’s a sad thing that it’s such an overlooked game. I highly recommend it.One warning though, it’s not a game for babies (see the entire xbox 360/wii library) this game will kick your butt over and over and over.

Henry Hatsworth is one of the best game I’ve played in a long time. I played video games almost entirely through my younger years and now that I’m older, there doesn’t seem to be much time for games. I like the fact that I can sit down with the game for half an hour to an hour and come back to it some other time.This game is incredibly addictive because it becomes incredibly hard around half-way through the game. Add in the secret levels and the challenge goes beyond some of the late game levels. I always feel a great sense of accomplishment beating any of the levels and this is what keeps me coming back.Highly recommended!
