My Pet Chimp 

 

My Pet Chimp is one of those games the video game publisher 505 Games wants to forget. How can I tell? They have no record of this game, but their company logo is on the front of this Nintendo DS case. Someone thought they would cash in on the Nintendogs craze by giving us monkeys. After all there are many monkey games that have become popular. Those games have something My Pet Chimp does not have - some entertainment value.

The first thing I noticed about My Pet Chimp is the bland graphics. The monkeys look generally realistic, and have some animations. But there is nothing loveable about them. These are not panda bears, and this is not the zoo. My Pet Chimp tries to make the monkeys act similar to humans. Sorry but that does not fly with me. And having them wear a diaper was just strange.

I don’t know how the monkeys in My Pet Chimp get dirty so fast. Play one mini game, and come back to have them hungry, and dirty. So I had to go back through all the effort of cleaning them up. Doing that is no easy chore. Yes chore is a great word to describe it.

The mood swings of the monkeys in My Pet Chimp reminds me of Veggie Tales Autotainment. They seemed to be randomly generated. I could find little rhyme or reason to them. This is another reason I could not connect with the monkey in My Pet Chimp.

I saw My Pet Chimp in the clearance bin at Target for a very good price. I should have left it there and moved on. Thankfully you can learn about this game, and not repeat my purchase. 505 Games has made some good games so do not trash them for releasing this title. Everybody can mistakes.

The most uncomfortable part about My Pet Chimp is how is makes the case for humans and monkeys being similar. I do not see that, and this hand held video game did not change my opinion on that. I think that is part of the reason why My Pet Chimp did not do so well. The other reason is there are many pet games on the market. Why play with a monkey when you can play with a dog, cat, horse, bunny, or hamster. They are way more loveable animals.
