Nintendo DS Review: Toy Shop - Page 3

I’m not the world’s best gamer, but since this particular title is marketed toward young children and older ‘casual’ gamers, who mainly like games as ways to pass the time, a high level of skill should not be necessary simply to play. If there is some way to stretch $500 to $1200 in-game without any income, before even making a sale, I seem to have missed the clue. I tried; I read the manual and even went to Majesco’s website to read its tips and hints. Nothing there gave a clue - only vague tips the manual or gameplay had given. The in-game video tutorials also were very basic. Nothing explained how to make the game viable. I can’t even recommend this game for small toddlers who merely want to pretend they are playing a game; there is too much reading required. Futility just isn’t any fun, as Kafka’s cockroach and gamers who play Toy Shop very well know.

Toy Shop is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB.

    In the start of the game, they already supply you the $450 shelf and the $300 shelf along with the cash register. The 500 dollars comes along with all those three items. You have no need to stretch your $500 to buy these items because they are already supplied. Have you checked that underneath the items there is a "1" meaning you have it?
