Why would you spend money on this, especially since you're Nintendo DS comes with Pictochat, which is far superior. I'm just warning you not to waste your money on this worthless piece of junk.

This game is fun using the single player features but it's morely aimed for friends with DS to play together like the previous commentor said. It's a more fun way to use your picto-chat but if you don't have anyone else with a DS then you're gonna be playing single player. It's fun but after a while it's repetive and I'm 99.9% sure I'm gonna trade it in or let it dust in my DS case.

This is a chat program that is the same as PICTOCHAT. The only diffrence is that you can have pictures and customize color backgrounds,otherwise its pretty much the same thing as Pictochat that is included in DS so do not buy.

I thought this game would be a fun chat program with lots of little extras. Imagine my surprise to find out that out of the "thousands of items" you can buy there are only 300 on each cart. So unless you have a multitude of friends who want to waste $30 each then your stuck with only 300 items. What a giant waste of money. Pictochat is just as good and it's bundled free with the DS.

This is the worst Nintendo handheld game I have ever seen. Not just the worst of the DS games, but the worst of all the Gameboy games. It is rated E for everyone, but if a child plays it in solo mode, the screen scrolls by so fast that no 6 or 7 year old will be able to read it. The wireless gameplay for people without the card is a joke. The pictochat that comes free is better.

this game is fun but threre is realy no point. All you realy do is talk with fake people and you can say yes or no. You can also get points to customize your screen and person. THQ put many chatrooms in but if there is no one is like the same room of course all you can do is say yes or no.

some people are being too harsh. it is a bit of a rip off, but come on! "shame on nintendo for allowing this to be released" thats kind of mean. but this is game is a lot of fun if you know other people with a ds but alone, its not that great. but its cool to trade hats and clothes with other people and try to make your guy/girl as cool as possible. i kind of like it personally, although is really only fun for about 5 minutes.

This game is pretty fun. The outfits are pretty neat (although I can't find many outfits to buy for girls) and it's even fun when you have to play by yourself. It has a sort of game called solo chat. it'll hook you up a conversation with a stranger who's not real. Also, the items in the store sometimes changes and it's easy to get coins!

I am amazed that there are a few positive reviews here. Please disregard these reviews as they must be from folks with a stake in this game. Basically, this "game" is making you pay for what you already get. It is a shame Nintendo deceived its fans by even allowing it to be released. So much for their past seal of quality.

This game is just a fancy version of Pictochat. The whole "person" thing is boring, and you don't need it for a simple chatting software. I think THQ was trying almost to make a mini wireless sims, where you could talk to other people and trade items, but believe me, NO ONE WILL BE ON!!! I preordered this game before the DS came out, and the game looked fun. back then I also thought the DS could connect to a Wireless Hotspot and go online, but, i was wrong. Another Downside to this game is that there are the totally crappy games, especially "solo chat". the stupidest one is "hot potato" where you and a friend type "pass" when you get the vurtual potato. fun. But really, stick to Pictochat, this is a waste of your money.
