I have an Inferno and my 2 kids have other Miuchiz of their own.

The concept is really neat, but they are still quite limited. There really isnt a lot to do in miuchi world yet, so you can get a little tired of it after a few visits. Earning miuchi bucks to get stuff takes a lot of effort. However, they are supposed to add new things to the online world regularly.

Playing wirelessly with another miuchi owner has been problematic for us and you can only play tic-tac-toe and rock/paper/scissors and/or exchange items. Again, they say they expect to add new features.

With Inferno, I notice that often when you go online, he wont have all the items he took from his closet prior to connecting. Also, when viewing items on the handheld that are in inventory, they often do not display colors and just show up as a shadow.

Looks like all users online are connecting to the same server. Performance is sometimes pretty bad. Other times you can't find anyone to duel with etc..

On the plus side, they were very smart to make software updates possible on the handheld via the USB connector. This means they can improve the handheld experience without requiring you to buy a new handheld. With other virtual worlds (e.g. pixel chix) you are stuck with the world and features you start with out of the box. Miuchiz has the right idea.

Based on my experiences and feedback from my kids, you may want to wait just a bit longer before you spend your hard earned cash as right now it becomes a pixel-chix sort of experience pretty quick (i.e. get kind of bored with it). Maybe by Christmas they will have added enough to miuchi world to make it more worthwhile.

The game has a nice concept, IF IT WORKED. I've been trying since christmas(over 3 months) to connect this game to the internet to update it for my kids and finally was able to update the firmware today. Something that you will have to do to be able to get to the virtual worlds,BUT THE WEB SITE IS ALWAYS DOWN!!!!! EXPERANCING TECHNICAL PROBLEMS!!! and the nice window that pop's up on the home page from the Chief, asking for suggestions goes to a bad link!!!

I only gave it 1 star because the review process doesn't have a 0 stars.

DON'T WASTE ANY MONEY ON THIS THING!!!!!
