83The variety in creating your Ping Pal is immense and chatting with your friends hasn't been this fun since AIM.
-
The touch-screen keyboard is very small, almost ensuring that you'll make a few spelling mistakes as you peck for letters. [Feb 2005, p.115]
-
Chatting with Ping Pals is completely functional, but manually typing text gets annoying quickly, and the more intuitive and fun drawing feature is simply inferior to "PictoChat."
-
40It offers an interesting avatar and coin system, an average instant messaging program, but not much else.
-
The biggest flaw here is conceptual -- Ping Pals has been rendered nearly useless with the superior PictoChat (as far as the messaging features go, anyway), and the shallow games do nothing to really boost the game.
-
35Regardless of its "additional" content it offers over "PictoChat," Ping Pals is easily the most unnecessary product for the system.
-
33In essence, Ping Pals is "PictoChat" with a lousy personality, and there's absolutely no reason why you should waste your time with it.
-
30If only more time were spent developing a more stimulating AI, or adding a better selection of mini games, then things may have turned out differently. But for what Ping Pals offers, you can't escape the feeling you've been cheated out of your money.
-
30Five mini-games aside, there's no real gameplay value here.
-
There is no reason in the world to own this product when "Pictochat" basically does everything at least, equally as well.
-
If you're older than 10, spend your money elsewhere.
-
20Unless you absolutely must look at a cartoon character while you chat, there's no reason to buy Ping Pals. Otherwise, just stick with "PictoChat."
-
20Ping Pals is like paying for a trial sample of chips, you get the same thing, but you paid for it.
-
10If 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.
-
An abysmal failure. [Jan 2005, p.143]
-
It may go down in history as the least necessary game of all time. [Feb 2005, p.113]
-
All things considered, there's absolutely no reason to even contemplate the purchase of Ping Pals.
