"Besides the comfortably familiar gameplay, the first thing anyone will notice about Hammerin' Hero is that it's just so damned cute. The characters, the enemies, even the stages themselves... it's all totally adorable. Adding to the kawaii factor is Gen's penchant for changing his outfit. Although he starts out as a construction worker, other costumes are soon earned, each one with its own set of weaponry and attacks. (The sushi chef was a personal favorite.) Half the fun of the game is just seeing what Gen will be next.
Right in line with the art design and costume switching is the fact that each stage takes place in a completely different and irreverent location. It's clear that this game doesn't want to be taken seriously, and I was only too glad to participate in its pleasant madness. From the bottom of the sea to a haunted house, from a major league baseball game all the way to outer space."

ATLUS should get its own PSN Publisher Store if they keep on pumping out games on the PSN. SO far, EA(EA SPORTS), Capcom and R* got their own store.
They should put Demons Souls on the PSN store. It may be a huge, expensive download but it beats never finding a copy of the game.
Play-Asia is now offering Pump It Up EXCEED Portable for free if you purchase a copy of Atlus' fun-looking platformer Hammerin' Hero..
Pump It Up EXCEED Portable, the Korean-made rhythm game is also given away free if you purchase Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs...

Such was my response when the cashier at my local retailer asked me why I picked up Hammerin' Hero for the PSP, an obscure Japanese title brought over by Atlus. A throwback to the old Hammering Harry titles, the game is a 2.5D platformer touting stylish visuals, a wacky storyline, and an old school difficulty level. Remarkable on some levels and mediocre on others, Hammerin' Hero rises above its obscurity to become a title worth checking out for fans of classic 2D platforming."
This game is super fun, it's one of those quirky games that keep you smiling!
