Hamsterz 2

There is no more chatting with your hamster nor costumes to dress them up.

Mini-games are also relegated to a secondary level as they are no more mandatory to advance in the game.

Aside from sharing the same name and brand, this title and the earlier game do not have much in common and were created by different development teams, as Hamsterz 2 is a US port of the original Japanese DS title Hamster to Kurasou .

After the player customizes their identity and the environment for their avatar, a cousin visits them and asks them to care for one of his hamster's children.

From now on, the usual pet caring simulation starts.

Cleaning, feeding and playing with your hamster is rewarded with stars that serve as the currency in Hamsterz 2 .

With enough stars, the player can visit the pet store and buy bigger cages and all kinds of toys and tools for the pets.

Having hamsters of different sexes in the same cage can lead to them having children.

Hamsterz 2 features 12 different hamster breeds plus two unlockable exotic ones.

There are also 200 different toys and accessories to unlock as well as 34 other "treasure" items.

A multiplayer mode also exists, where friends' cages can be visited and mini-games can be played together.

Hamsterz 2 for Nintendo DS is currently worth €8.65 loose, €4.43 complete in box, and €8.75 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Hamsterz 2 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Hamsterz 2, loose is €8.65 and CIB is €4.43 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
