Sega's answer to Warioware and a good attempt at that. It's a fun, quirky, little game on DS that shouldn't be missed.

Story: This game perhaps has one of the weirdest storylines ever. The story is the protagonist of the game is this weird guy who sees this hot girl who he must meet and of course for him it's love at first sight. So, he wants her to notice him so this group or gang called the Rub Rabbits somehow over hears his dilemma and so they help you out and to do that they make you do these insane stunts so that the girl may notice you. So, the main thing is that the weird guy is trying to impress the girl of his dreams so that he may win her heart. What a weird story, huh? I thought so.

Gameplay: The whole premise of the gameplay is just playing a bunch of fun mini-games. Gee, I wonder what other game comes to mind, maybe Warioware? For most of the mini-games you have to use a stylus and for others you get to use the microphone which is pretty neat. Well anyways, these minigames are the insane stunts that you perform to impress the girl of your dreams. Like for example, the first mini-game you play involves helping out a pedestrian regurgitate some goldfish he just swallowed. Pretty odd, eh? Well, the mini-games just keep getting more weirder and weirder from there but there really fun. Once you complete each mini-game, a heart meter displays how much your stunt pleased your girl. Each time it reaches 100%, you move on to the next scene, complete with more mini-games from which to choose. Once this is done, there is usually a boss fight. The boss fights deal as a damsel in distress scenario like where the boss takes your dream girl and you have to rescue her and you have to be her knight in shining armor. There are also some mini-games where you help out your lady friend like there's this one where you clean her off by rubbing off the dirt with your stylus. Which is a nice gesture and will also fill your heart meter up quite nicely. All the mini-games you play in story mode are unlocked in another mode called memories and you can replay the mini-games there. Did I mention that you can customize your dream girl? That's right. There's a customizing option called Maniac where you can change your dream girl's hairstyle, clothes, and shoes. Sort of a weird science sort of thing. You can unlock costumes, hairstyles, and shoes in story mode.

Graphics: The graphics can be sumed up in this one saying "Some old hippy caught a high tripping on acid". This games graphics have like a crazy psychedelic look to it which makes the game look pretty trippy. There are some mini-game levels that are in 3D but most of them are in 2D but they all look pretty decent. Character models in this game are a bit odd because all of them are dark figures. It's a cool but weird style for them though.

Sound: The music in the game can be described as catchy Go-Go style music to most and as for the voice samples in this game there seems to be a lot of odd quirky sounding japanese people saying weird stuff like "Rabbit!". It gets old quick once you've heard it for the hundredth time.

Replay Value: With the nice variety of mini-games, you'll definetly come back to this game whether you have beaten it or not. It's a shame it didn't have a multiplayer mode though. But, all and all it's still a fun and addictive game that shouldn't be neglected.
