It’s a wonderfully simple, engaging, and absolutely hilarious experience, it’s just a shame that you can’t share what you’ve made with anyone else, nor can you play multiplayer across two systems instead of huddling into a cramped ball to compete against friends.
It's daft, clever, simple and cheap. We want to see more DSiWare games like this one. [May 2010, p.90]

Put a little bit of imagination and effort into this game and you will have a blast.
Photo Dojo's concept, design and execution is robust and a potential for laughs all night long. Take photos of yourself or friends, really put the work in, record your voice and attack clips and stand back and play a decent beat-em-up that would put a smile on anyone's face.
The possibilities are endless with this app, it uses the DSi/3DS camera to the best of it's abilities, and truly gives the beholder a tool to create magic. On top of the the game-play once you have created your fighters is pretty decent, special moves are easy to pull off, and fill your roster with a cast of characters and you will be hard pressed to tell this from the best beat-em-ups on the planet.
Really inventive and made with a lot of effort, this is the best way to be in the game

Photo dojo is a fun fighter where you make fighters (Up to 8!) that can be humans, pets, sprites, toys, or anything!!!! After you make your sounds and fighters, its time to fight with you fighter in 2 ( :( ) game modes. Fight in others in vs, or rack up a high score in single player. fight till you're ,bored! P.S., heres a good idea for vs- Split vs mode in 4 modes; P1 vs cpu, practice, turnament, and P1 vs other p2

It’s hard to knock Photo Dojo: its versatility and use of the DSi’s functions are superb, and the potential to create fighters based on friends, figures and anything else you can photograph is enough to forgive its simplicity and lack of gameplay modes.
There's not much to it, and you'll probably only enjoy this title for an hour or two. Still, for a currently free download (or even for 200 points), it's a great value and a lot of fun at parties.
Throwaway but very funny, which seems reasonable for a measly 200 points. [May 2010, p.74]
A good concept, but could use updates or a sequel. I enjoyed my time playing this, but it felt limited. I wanted more. You take photos of yourself filling fighting positions, then you take photos to be the background stage. I wish that you could have a larger cap on the characters you could make, and there needed more fighting styles. One thing I'd like to have seen was a level editor where you create custom waves of enemies. It needed local multiplayer with multiple devices, online multiplayer and single player against a bot. (There is single player, but you fight waves instead of one strong enemy.) I think all of these things warrant a sequel, but I'm WAY too late to this party. About 6 years late. Again, a good concept, but limited by the DS and the time it was released.

I downloaded this back when it was free on the DSi Shop. It was a pretty fun joke game that I used to play with my friend. Interestingly, the multiplayer only required one system as the two of us each held one side of the DSi. Very basic, but again, it was a free joke game.

Photo Dojo for the Nintendo DSiWare service is an extremely basic fighting game and nothing more. The game starts with taking photos of a person, objects or drawing with the Dsi/3DS camera and fitting them into specific frames (trust me, its a lot harder then you would realize) and then recording short audio clips with the DSi/3DS microphone and finish by giving them one of four fighting styles. Once you have completed at least 1 character, you need to create a stage to go with the character. After both of those tasks are complete you have a mere two modes to play, multiplayer versus which consists of a really bad control layout since two people need to use the same system to play and an ability to alter the game speed from normal to fast, in single player you fight random enemies until you lose or defeat 100 of them. Once the novelty of taking photos wares off, it becomes obvious how shallow and limited the game is. No single player versus mode? no difficulty settings? no ability to modify controls? no story mode even if it was as simplistic and generic as a world fighting tournament? With its limited content the game really feels like it should be no more than 50 cents, not a whole 1.99 plus tax. I honestly can't recommend this game there are other 1.99 games on the DSi/3DS shop with far more content and replayability than this.
