Why pay for something that comes with the system?
Date of Review: Jan 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: Do NOT buy this. It is a waste of money.
OK, maybe I'm a little cynical but why on earth would anyone pay for a game that's already embedded in the game system? Maybe, the users that haven't used pictochat don't know about it. Or maybe the users happen to like the avatars that come with the game. I don't know.
On a lighter note, the avatars are good for the select few who really want them. But if you are not a person who can afford to throw away $30 carelessly, don't buy this. So ping pals tries to distinguish itself by customization. The stuff you can get is mundane and fails miserably to separate itself from the usual filler, publishers put in their games. The publisher should have made the mini-games more exciting. Then and only then would have I not returned the game demanding for my money back.
The graphics are OK. If the publisher would have put a few more features into this game, I would have gave it at least 1 more star. If you don't believe my opinion go out and get this pictochat clone and you will find that it isn't worth the money. Thirty dollars can be well spent on something else, like an actual game for the Dual Screen.
Overall Score: 2.8
