My 'rents want me to learn another language, but I'm pretty sure hamster isn't near the top of their list. The Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! video game for Nintendo's Gameboy Color and Advance is all about learnin' the Ham-Chat lingo with Hamtaro, Bijou and the rest of the Ham-Hams.

Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite Ham-Fun!

To win you have to gather all your Ham-Ham friends for a surprise at the Clubhouse, but you can't ham-win if you don't learn the lingo. Once you've learned a new word, it's stored in your notebook for safe keeping. Through multiple choice menus you select Ham-chat words and gab with Dexter, Panda, Oxnard and Bijou. Some go back to the Clubhouse easily, others not so much. Boss and Snoozer can help you if you get stuck. Throughout the game you can buy things, change clothes and dance to the groovy Ham-Jams.

Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite Final Word

The game is just oozing with ham-saccharin, but it's really a wondachu game that totally transports you into a new world. And, in no time you've learned a new language. Imagine if a game like this could teach you Spanish, Chinese or another language.

How Hard Is Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite?

Even a crow could play, if he had thumbs! The puzzles can ham-strain your brain though.
