Ping Pals
In essence, Ping Pals is "PictoChat" with a lousy personality, and there's absolutely no reason why you should waste your time with it.

An abysmal failure. [Jan 2005, p.143]

Regardless of its "additional" content it offers over "PictoChat," Ping Pals is easily the most unnecessary product for the system.

Unfortunately, this game lacks a lot of things to do but trade andand play with them, which is R.E.P.E.T.I.T.I.V.E and quite boring! 3.4/10 Not a very good game.

Quizá tenga bastantes desbloqueables, pero ese contenido no salvara al juego, debido a los pésimos minijuegos, horribles gráficos, banda sonora mala y el hecho de haber creado una herramienta inútil, ya que la Nintendo DS posee el PictoChat. Este programa tiene mas funciones que el Ping Pals, por lo que es un juego inútil. No lo recomiendo para nada! Es un robo!

The variety in creating your Ping Pal is immense and chatting with your friends hasn’t been this fun since AIM.

It offers an interesting avatar and coin system, an average instant messaging program, but not much else.

Seriously the greatest game of all time! I don't know what all these people giving Ping Pals a bad review are talking about; I think they are joking or trying to mislead you. If you are considering buying this game, DO IT! It is worth so much more than the prices I see it selling for. This game is better than Far Cry 3, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Pokemon, Halo, Metroid, and the entire Call of Duty franchise combined. No joke! It's seriously so much fun. You can chat with your friends if they are in range for you, and that isn't even the best part! You can customize your avatar with dresses and similar articles of clothing! SOMETIMES THEY EVEN HAVE SPECIAL DRESSES IF YOU STAY UP UNTIL MIDNIGHT!!! How cool is that!! There is also many minigames that will make you scream for more if you have to put your DS down! I hope that everybody gets a chance to play this fantastic and godly game, that has been sent down from the very heavens above. I will never need to buy another video game again, because I have Ping Pals!!!!!! Woooo!!!!

Five mini-games aside, there’s no real gameplay value here.

Ping Pals is like paying for a trial sample of chips, you get the same thing, but you paid for it.

If it existed on its own, it would be mediocre, but as it stands it's completely without value. This is less a game to be played than buried in a landfill in the desert.

It may go down in history as the least necessary game of all time. [Feb 2005, p.113]
