This game is a preaty good idea, but sony did not make it well. There is only 7 mini games, and you start out with 1(Marbles) and beat it 3 times in a row to un-lock the next mini game. But before you can unlock it you need to get swiming gear from the marble person which is your prize for winning put it on, and look for the vollyball in the lake. then bring it to the vollyball person and beat that 3 times. and go to the next mini game and so on. So you start the game when you just move into a new neighbor-hood and you don't know any one. Your mom tell you to make some friends so that is why you go out walking to play the minigames. Your mom also makes you go to bed at 8:00 or so. Since you move there in the summer, you only have until August to play and win ALL of the mini-games. If you don't get ALL of them finished it sudenly ENDS. That is when you never wana play it any more because it takes so long to get there.

Overall I give it an average 2 stars. here is my detailsL:
graphics: 3 stars
Idea: 3 stars
Time consumption:1 star
funness: 2 stars

I bought this game a while ago thinking that it might be a little bit like Shenmue for kids but...it aint. While the game does have a large world to explore, for the most part you can't interact with much of it, the world is mostly a giant painting you move around in. You also can't explore as much of it as I would like. Your characters mom seems to have the ability to telepathically know when your near the edge of town and prevents you from going farther. I wanted to head over to the school but nooo. The games were pretty fun but you have to beat them pretty quickly if you want to beat the game. The key is to get the chicken game out of the way as quickly as possible so you can start making money to save up for a RC car. The RC cars are probably the most difficult of the games with a small window of error.
The funnest game to play for me was volleyball. The lamest for me was that stupid chicken game. I didn't know what was going on half the time. Just get enough arrows in the chicken's path and hope for victory.
Although the games are pretty fun at times, the real reason to buy this game is to create the freakiest kid ever. I probably spent more time creating different freaky kids. If you beat the game then you can unlock even wierder faces The voices for the kids are silly, particularly the girl voices. "The piggies must lose." Good stuff.
At any rate, it's not that great a game but if you always wanted to run around town as Hannibal Lecter Jr. then this might be right up your alley.
P.S. The piggies must lose!

This game is known as the worst game I ever bought. I've owned it for about a year and even though it looks fun on the back don't get it. The idea of the game is to have enough money at the start of school to pay the bully. What you have to do to get the money is by helping them on all of the kids problems. You then have to do their challenges like winning games of marbles, dodgeball or volleyball. The big problem is you have to play marbles at the start and can't play any other games! Another huge problem is what the hell is Chemistry Doing in it.
