Ahhhh Whac-a-Mole. Reminds me of the times when I was younger. You'd head off to an amusement park as a kid (or adult in some cases), grab the giant foam covered mallet, and go to town on plastic, defenseless moles. Sometimes you'd even get two friends to help you by using the mallets on the machines next to yours. You all did it, don't lie. In those days, tickets meant everything. You thought you might die without your Kermit the Frog plush doll. In these days, kids get a Nintendo DS and a stylus to poke at electronic animals. Pity.

Ok, my lead-in doesn't say much about the game. Well, that's because there's not much to say about the game. This is Whac-a-Mole as you know it. You poke at moles coming up from the ground, and you get points for doing so. Only in this game, there are special moles and gimics. Army Moles, Medusa Moles, Plush Moles, Gold Moles, Airplane Moles, Car Moles, Ninja Moles, Thief Moles, Stone Moles...I sound like Bubba Buford from Forrest Gump, only he got paid for what he did. That's beside the point. In addition to the moles, there are presents that you can poke at. Sometimes they are helpful, but 75% of the time, they are annoying and in the way. Imagine playing real life Whac-a-Mole and being frozen for five seconds. It made me want to throw the DS across the room. Then there's puzzle mode. Oh boy. Imagine tic-tac-toe, but the X's and O's are constantly moving around. I'd rather play Sweet Valley High than subject myself to this.

Here's the funny part about this game. I played it to the end. Maybe it was in hopes that things would get better, or maybe it was to laugh at the funny names in the credits. Either way, after beating it in 45 minutes, I wished and hoped that EB Games would renig their "if it's opened, you get the same game" policy. Stay away kids. Get the nerf bats and beat on each other. You may be battered and bruised, but at least you'd have a good story to tell.
