I've been a fan of the online game for years. I've been waiting for this game, for seriously about a year. Now a Club Penguin video game exists. Is it worth paying 30 bucks for? Here's my review. EPF is basically Club Penguin on your DS. It makes sense to be on DS, because if it was on a home console, you might as well be playing normal Club Penguin. EPF has a good storyline, that's easy to pick up, and play. You are a new member of the EPF agents. They are agents that deal with more complex jobs, then the PSA. If you've played the online game, everything will feel very familiar to you. But I did notice something. Why is the Cove absent from this game? They have the dojo with it's current music. Why can't they have the Cove, when they have the Forest? Who knows. Gameplay is awesome. You'll use your stylus to move around and tall to people. But there is something that annoys me about this control. Sometimes after someones given me my mission or whatever, I try to scroll over, but end up talking to the same person again! I've done this several times now, and it is a bit of a problem. I feel like I almost have to use the sylus at the very edge of the Touch screen. Music in this game is very good. It includes lot's of music fans are familiar with, as well as some new music thrown into the mix. Let me tell you, this new music, seems almost nessasary. There are also six minigames in EPF. Snowboarding, Cart Surfer, Ice Fishing, Jet Pack Adventure, Dance Challenge, and Snow Trekker. They are all amusing, and all can use stylus conrol. These minigames really add something to the game. I just wish there were more. Now there are some cool advantages if you are connected to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. First off, you can upload coins from the game to your online account. This is surprisingly easy, it's just like logging into your online account on the DS, except once. The coin upload time, is quick. You can also download a weekly newsletter which is pretty cool. There is also the online poll, which is cool. But there is something that bugged me. Why are there no mission avalible for download except this stupid message with Aunt Arctic telling you "A prepared penguin is a good penguin"? How is that a mission? I WANT MISSIONS! Another okay advantage of connecting to Wi-Fi is, this new feature called Disney Gamer, or D Gamer. It is an online chat where you can make friends and chat. First you must go to the website, make an account, then log in on the DS. It's cool because, you can also make an avatar, and it rewards you for stuff you do in EPF. If you ask me "Is Club Penguin EPF worth spending 30 bucks for?", I'd say yes. It is a great game and fans of Club Penguin would enjoy. Besides fan of Club Penguin, I'd say 12 and under. I couldn't see many teenagers playing this game. Matbe adults for it's "Cute" humor. Well it is a great game but it is a bit short, that is if you know what to do. Most of these missions involve thinking, so it may take some people longer than others.
FINAL SCORE: 9.3
