This Nintendo DS application has its pros and its cons, but mostly its cons.
User Rating: 5.5 | PictoChat DS
Pictochat is an application on the main menu of your DS that comes with your DS system. Its a pretty cool extra feature, but I think Nintendo shouold have spent a little more time on it to make it an awesome feature. For anyone who doesnt know Pictochat is and application on your DS that lets you basicly chat or draw a bunch of random stuff on your DS up to 16 people per chat room with 5 chat rooms in all. The games major flaw is that what are the odds of you finding 16 people randomly on the street. If you want to do pictochat with someone else in the room, just talk to them yourself. Common sense is a gift Nintendo. Also, why are theyre chat rooms if theres no Wifi? It makes no sense. Pictochat would have been an instant hit if their was Wifi. That would make sense. Ive used Pictochat a few times with my friends like in a movie theatre or at night when we need to be quite, but other than that, its totally useless unless you just want to screw around and draw random things on your DS, but otherwise its just somethinng that takes up room on your DS. They couldve added like a movie player or something cool like that instead lof Pictochat like GBA Video. But no, we got this crap. All in all, its a cool application for the first few times, but I havent used it in a while.
