Chibi-Robo (Game Cube, 2006)

This is an AWESOME little game! It's very obvious that this game was left in it's original Japanese format with only the text changed to English, but that's what makes it good! This seems like a kiddie game, but it is challenging to figure out, and it's very extensive, it just goes on and on. It's NOT one of those done-in-6-level kinds of games. The funny thing is that Japanese people must think all Americans are disfunctional. Mr. Sanderson is unemployed and spends his days watching a Power-Ranger type character on TV, and sleeping on the couch at night. Mrs. Sanderson spends her nights locked in her room with the mountain of unpaid bills, trying to figure her way out of debt, and little Jenny won't speak to anyone except in Frog Language because she's so sad about her parents! Chibi Robo has to find ways to help this poor family and everything else he comes in contact with. It's bizarre, but you get hooked on it really fast and can't stop playing!
