Product Details of Hey You Pikachu

Description

Video games don't get much cuter than Hey You, Pikachu!, a Pokémon title that allows players to talk to their favorite electric mouse--via the Voice Recognition Unit (VRU) that's included--and share in its day-to-day adventures. While older Pokémon fans might find the game too childish, the candy-coated goodness that's found here makes it perfect for the kiddies. With the abstract goal of building a friendship with Pikachu, players communicate with it by speaking certain keywords and phrases into the VRU's microphone. Although Pikachu's speech is limited to variations on its own name (e.g., "Pika! Pika!"), it expresses itself through thought bubbles and the game's adorably animated 3-D graphics. Mastering this interaction is key to solving Hey You, Pikachu!'s puzzle elements, which are encapsulated in various squeaky-clean activities in which you and Pikachu participate together. While the voice recognition here isn't perfect by any means, there's plenty of on-screen help and guidance to keep players from getting too frustrated. --Joe Hon Pros: Allows players to interact verbally with Pikachu Adorably animated 3-D graphics Plenty of onscreen help and guidance Cons: Voice recognition not perfect by any means Might be too childish for older Pokémon fans

Hey You Pikachu

Strengths: Just so much fun!

Weakness: I've owned this game for 233 days and there's not really anything bad about it exept for when Pikachu gets the habit of making going outside and making you use the Megaphone to get him back.

This game is so awesome because there is 3 different worlds (Discovery Days, Play Days, and Daring Days) and you have to do them in order the way I told you (if I remember correctly because I don't play it EVERY day). The graphics are awesome and it is also great because you can even go fishing with Pikachu and the 3 fishing levels are: Ochre fishing hole, Olivine fishing hole, and Colbat fishing...
