An overall boring game that I was unfortunate enough to spend £19.99 on.
After owning a DS for a very short time, only owning Super Mario 64 DS, I was eager to get hold of more games. I checked back at GAME every week to see if there were any DS games going cheap in a bargain bin or something. I found this game on a shelf at a "cheap cheap price" of £19.99. At that age, any game £10 cheaper than most was worth buying.
To be honest, it was actually an okay game. Basically, you have to play mini-games and type specific words to gain points. The game is set out like pictochat, where you have a virtual keyboard where you can type answers to a character in the game. You are given a japanese looking avatar, which you can buy clothes and accessories for to look nice. You can also buy sounds, music and backgrounds for the game.
The huge let down of this game is the fact that the only way to get the expensive items is to either
a) spend days and days doing one mini-game
b) type a completely stupid word like Wisenheimer or Stenogrammar to gain massive of points.
The only way to find out these unusual words is to cheat, and search on the internet. But once you have done that, there's not much game in it.
But luckily, there is a fun little multiplayer mode where you can link up with your friends and play reasonably fun games like hot potato and charades. Even better, you only need one game card, so you can play with up to 15 of your DS owning friends. This way, only one person out of 15 has to experience the awful single player mode. Yay!
Without the multiplayer mode, this game would earn itself a measly 2.0, but luckily, the somewhat fun multiplayer mode turns it to an average(ly crap) game.
