3.0 out of 5 stars WarioWare Much?, October 7, 2007

By	P. Webb "apocrypha" (Bozeman, MT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

A microgame package w/200 some games, funky(in a bad way kind of )graphics, and forced weird "adult" humour make this feel and play like the dumbed down and sleazy version of a WWare game. Made by Atari the game does have high points when TEMPEST, ZAXXON, LUNAR LANDER and other aracade classics are given a turn in the mix but these retro segments are all to brief, and before you know it its back to more "zany" movies of the supposed lead character of the alleged story (who is kind of nauseating) Their is some unlockable content(boss games,etc) and it can be fun in brief sessions, but in the end it ends up feeling like a ripoff of a much better series of games and just a bit above alot of HB style games in that it doesn't crash. The pixelated asthetic and gathering of pixels tries to give an old flavor to the game sometimes it suceeds and sometimes it just looks cheap and old. There is an extra set of 70 downloadable games they can be played one at a time or in "playslists". Its a decent rental for MICROGAME fans and a possible purchase at under 20 for the casual gamer but 200 hundred more microgames harder difficulty and Zero movies of the DORKY GUY would have helped this package out alot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Games are fun, transitions are not, April 26, 2008

By	Brian "Adrenaline" - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

The actual mini games in Hot Pixel are pretty good. However, in between games there are often lame video clips and useless animations that take away from the gameplay. I think Atari actually tried too hard on the presentation and hurt themselves in the process. You can unlock games to be played at your own pace, "Xtras", which track high scores and justify a $10 price tag by themselves. Also, you can download 70 more minigames from the following website: http://www.hotpxl.com

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I've played the Hot Pixel demo on a PSP and I liked it. It definitely made me want to buy the game and I think it's worth it.
