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.
THQ rip-off!!!

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.
Not a game and almost the same as PICTOCHAT

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.
A worthless piece of junk.

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.
Real dumb

This is a really dumb, meaningless game. Glad I didn't pay for it. Spend your money wisely and on other DS games. Any one of them is better than this.
LOAD OF JUNK

When I first played it I was confused.So I read the directions.But when you talk to a character you half to say yes or no or they go off line so my point is read the directions first, thier clothes but thet cost coins so it's not a really fun game.
Even if it was free I wouldn't want a copy of Ping Pals........

Unless it would go toward a bonfire. Seriously, this game is the worst game I have every played in my life, and when I think of a bad game, this one comes to mind. EGM actually gave it two 0.0 and a 1.5. Sad. But then again, I don't think that this game dosen't even deserve a rating, other than "steaming pile of a fat 80 year old middle school dropout's [deleted by amazon]". Thus, this game dosen't even deseerve to exist. Pictochat, which THQ ripped off, is better, and that's free. But maybe you want some more explaining. Here you go
Fun chatting through great-looking 16-bit character animations
Everyone in Pin Pals is represented by an avatar you can dress up and customize
Try to upgrade your avatar by earning cool points - collect, trade, chat and play minigames to win
Supports the single cartridge multiplayer function -- 15 people can play through a single cartridge
The avator is so ugly, it is just pointless. And the single chat function is terrible. Why would you even consider talking to A.I. avators. There's also less functions in the game as well. Less characters, smaller keyboard, and only one pencil width. Pictochat has all this. Who wants to buy clothes for that tiny picture anyway? I will warn you, do not buy this game. IF you do, you are buying a product that falls in the same catergorie as kidz bop. Simplified and kiddy mess. kidz bop is a terrible music series, and to be honest, I don't like Pictochat. Unless you want to draw stupid pictures, than don't bother. Just don't get this. YOu will regret it. Unless your a moron and actually like this lame kiddy image, than save your money and buy Brain Age or Big Brain Academy instead. If you already have it........just save your money, period.
IF YOU BUY THIS, AND LIKE IT, YOU ARE AN IMBECILE
Oh my gosh!!!

Oh no! Where is the 0 star option for this review! I want my money back and the last 30 minutes of my life. This cartridge is pretty much an upgrade of Pictochat which is already built in the DS. I think you better off getting a root canal than dealing with this game! Now call your dentist and get your root canal appointment. You'll have more fun with that instead!
