Jan 13, 2014Despite the occasional stutters, Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder is a uniquely enjoyable game that will test your creativity from start to finish.
-
Aug 6, 2014As a standalone retail release it would be passable, but as a cheap download what has been packed in is simply amazing and surprisingly addictive.
-
Jun 16, 2014Although this tiny, yet full of secrets house world is cut into little areas, hence constraining exploration, Chibi-Robo develops its talent for photography by exploiting the 3DS features cleverly, while still doing odd jobs for the even weirder inhabitants.

Official Nintendo Magazine UKAug 8, 2014It's hard for a game to win hearts when it keeps kicking you in the shins. [Aug 2014, p.82]
-
Jul 6, 2014A bizarre game that works on paper but much less on screen. At first glance it's fun, but after a while it loses its steam and it becomes tedious and frustrating.
-
Jun 18, 2014Let’s Go, Photo!’s biggest stumbling block is the Nintendo 3DS itself. Its poorly spec’ed camera has always been pretty useless, even for taking pictures – trying to use it for a game is a mostly fruitless endeavor.
-
Jun 18, 2014The tasks presented are fun to fulfill and make use of one of the most overlooked assets of the 3DS. Let's Go, Photo! could use some more variety in its whole but it shows Nintendo can deliver more than the usual series everyone knows.

Jan 20, 2014If you’re still interested after reading through our criticisms, there’s likely enough here to justify a purchase; otherwise, you’re probably best off leaving this photo undeveloped.
-
Jul 9, 2014Taking pictures of your house and stealing your own objects with Chibi-Robo is pretty fun, even with the poor 3DS' camera. But the minigames required to finally take some photos are just boring and uninteresting.
-
Feb 3, 2014Photo Finder is a decent adventure stuffed with charm and fun.
-
Aug 6, 2014Dull mini games and misinterpreted pictures: after the solid Gamecube game, we would have expected a brighter future for Chibi.
-
Jul 21, 2014Despite its flaws it's a game that focuses on interaction and the use of some features of the 3DS. Not everyone will feel rewarded playing it but no doubt they will experience something different.
-
Mar 6, 2014Photo Finder is easily the weakest entry in the Chibi-Robo series and lacks the same vision and atmosphere of its forerunners, but it still has the love Skip always pours into its quirky adventures.
-
Jan 20, 2014It's a noble and sweet idea, held back by monotonous grinding and technical issues. And by "technical issues" I mean "the camera."
-
Jul 18, 2014Chibi-robo deserved a much better return after the GameCube times than this inconsistent and pricey experiment: it's really difficult to recommend Let's go, photo! to anyone, no matter the tastes and age.
-
Jul 6, 2014When you start the game up, it seems fun and original to use the 3DS camera to take pictures that are actually being used in the game. It is too bad that underneath that interesting surface, a very repetitive game is waiting for you. The mini-games feel like chores and the graphics are a little too random to feel like a good and solid game.
-
Jul 2, 2014Chibi-Robo simply isn't much fun.
-
Feb 10, 2014While the idea of turning real world items into in-game ones is pretty neat, the game throws in everything it can to make the experience as uninteresting as it possibly can.
-
games(TM)Aug 20, 2014The central mechanic barely works. [Sept 2014, p.122]
-
Jul 2, 2014A bafflingly dull extension of a franchise that barely deserved one sequel, let alone three; with tedious mini-games and laughably bad use of the 3DS camera.
