Quirky but highly addictive.

User Rating: 8 | Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol DS
Chibi Robo is a great game, quirky, colourful with some good music. You are a in control of a robot who runs on a battery and charges himself up by plugging into a socket! Bizarre though it sounds he is a lovable piece of metal.
The idea of the game is to turn a drab, flowerless park into a thriving one filled with flowers, benches and other attractions. As your park gets brighter you attract visitors that in turn convert into happy points. Happy points are the currency of the game, you use these to buy utilities, do repairs or improvements to your park, recharge your battery etc. There are enemies at regular intervals, which if left unchallenged will turn your beautiful flowers black, meaning they will wither and die
It is a very simple game but highly addictive, the only downside is that in order to save your game you have to go back to your home, talk to another robot like character then save, which is not very practical when you are in a hurry. Also some of the dialog with the other characters that do various jobs in your park for you, gets repetitive after a while.
