If you are looking for a quality 2D adventure, and enjoy being a completionist, Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash should be on your radar. Chibi whips it, and he whips it good!
It’s a fun and well made platform game, that suffers from a bit too much backtracking and cannot reach the heights of its predecessors, but still has some curious and original mechanics and decent level design. Get it if you’re looking for a new platform on the Nintendo 3DS, even if there’s definitely no lack of great ones for the Nintendo portable.

After the last 2 gex games, I was ready for disappointment, but I was surprised. I saw such innovative ideas such as the destination wheel, and a little robot. best Gex game ever. But there is one flaw,
THIS GAME BLOWS

Ten years on, even with the aesthetically wonderful amiibo that can be purchased with this game, it's hard to see how the titular Chibi is suddenly going to become a wildly popular player in the Nintendo universe based upon his exploits here.
Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash is not the best Chibi-Robo - it is not even that great of a 2D side-scroller or platformer, either.
Had Nintendo taken the time to produce a sequel with the same amount of depth as the original Chibi-Robo, we'd be getting somewhere. But Zip Lash just feels like a routine platformer, not offering enough bang for the buck to satisfy die-hard fans of the series. Kids may get a kick out of it, but more could've been done to assure a long-lasting life for our environmental hero. Here's hoping we haven't seen the last of him.
It’s fun in spurts, but overall a disappointment that hopefully doesn’t consign this series to years in limbo.
For every promising moment--which are few and far between--there's a commercial for candy, or a series of mini-tasks and menus that drag you back down. Chibi-Robo is a sleepy trip through a forgettable world. Plead with it to go faster, beg it to surprise you with new experiences, but don't be surprised when it answers back with the merits of biting into the center of a Tootsie Pop.
This was definitely the best Gex game since Mario Tennis Ultra-Smash. The Whiplash is really limited and the Zip-Lash is really slow but that just adds to the immersion and atmosphere plus there's a roll. 10/2 as Ghandi once said "That Chibi-Robo 3DS game is the best Gex game since Hideo Kojima's rumpus room"

This is a pretty fun game! There's a small learning curve to it, but once you get the controls down it's plenty of fun. It's very much like a normal platform game, but it offers unique game play. Basically, you're this little robot, and you have to use an extension cord as a weapon. It acts like a whip, and it allows you to progress through all the levels. You can do crazy moves, and get power ups, and collect coins, and fight baddies. However, it's not all action. There's also a small puzzle element to this game that makes it more challenging. If you're into casual games this will be something you'll like.
However! There is one annoying feature that I just don't understand. What's with the spinning wheel that randomly places you in levels? I want to make progress. I don't want to do levels that I've already done. You know, I think this is what made people not like this game. It's a small "feature" but is a real nuisance.

+ Bosses get progressively more interesting+ Plug and cord make for a great weapon mechanic+ Power-ups are pretty fun~ Levels are long~ Chibi Robo effectively leaves his roots- Constant pop up dialogue ruins pacing- Animations constantly get reused to seemingly extend game- Toys are just selling products instead of being an actual character- Roulette for levels makes no sense- Can't actually skip levels- Game doesn't tell you to save Moolah for final boss- Game requires to replay every level AT LEAST twice to complete it

This game really blows as it's the game that pretty much killed any chance for a real Chibi-Robo game. The Original on GCN was really wacky, fun, and creative. This game to me represents the creative bankruptcy that Nintendo experienced throughout 2015-2016. Ruined what could have been a great franchise.

Summary In this side-scrolling game, Chibi-Robo uses his plug and cord to whip enemies, grapple onto ledges, and swing across chasms. Power-up the plug and cord to search for collectables and explore previously out of reach areas.
