Just Horrible

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.

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.

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.

No, fun if you don't have a friend with a DS ...

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.

Yes or No

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.

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!

Um, did THQ even know that Pictochat is around????

Okay, if you got this for free (ex. friend gave it to you, got it as a gift, ect.) you can't really complain, but if you bought it yourself then..... you have a problem. First of all I was at gamestop a couple weeks ago and looking at the 5 DS games they had. I highly doubted they would have used DS games because they just came out but they had a used Ping Pals. That was one clue this game (well it's not a game really) was a rip off. Pictochat really is better than this! DOn't be convinced by the "cartoon caracters" you can customize, it's terrible! Next THQ will start selling Icecubes to escimos! I know something funner than this. Take your DS stylus and poke you brother/sister with it. Wasn't that fun??!

Ping Pals is a game for nintendo DS. It is pretty fun, although without a friend it can be very boring:( On Ping Pals there is a little window in the upper left hand corner with your name and the person you have on Ping Pals. It knows your name because you have programmed it into your DS. Anyways, you start out with some items like hair, clothes, and facial items. You can sell your items and/or buy new ones. There are also some games, like Top Ten and Hi-Lo. You can earn money by playing them. There is also a game called Solo Chat, but that isn't really fun because all you can type is either yes or no otherwise the computer character you are talking will say, "I don't understand!" Even if you type "Yes, of course!" or yes with an exlamation point or period the computer character will STILL get confused. If you want to buy this game, I'd buy one used or not buy one at all. It is pretty fun, but it's not the best.

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.
