This game started off highly bizarre, with little or no indication of what to do from mini-game to mini-game. You do, however, quickly catch on to the simplistic yet oddball games that are included. Such mini-games include stretching parts of a shaded picture to reveal what it really was, guiding a little man across the screen via touch screen to avoid floating mines and spiky pits, cutting drooping snot-bubbles in half, squirting ketchup on french fries and corn dogs, and blowing up an inflatable doll via the DS mic and having it touch a button to count "sit ups".
Strange? Yes. Fun? Very. And all this is super-fast paced, often only giving you 3 or 4 seconds to quickly decipher the cryptic game instructions and complete the mini-game. Once you catch on, however, it becomes insanely addictive, and often rewards you with crazy but cool in-game items, such as a virtual sea-monkey aquarium and clacker balls.
The only real downside to this game is the lack of ANY multiplayer. About the only multiplayer included is a virtual ping pong game you can unlock, which allows 2 people to hold the DS between them and use each shoulder button as the trigger for their paddle. Aside from that, there is NO DS download or connectivity, and no other multiplayer game on there. Thus killing most of the replay value, unless you become obsessed with beating your old score.
