    this game is alot of fun. it is nice to see some quirky jap games come to the states. had a blast with mr mosquito, and this game in some way reminds me of it. great for all ages! and it seems like these games should be reviewed by people who like these kind of games. not people who like sports games and such. thats the problem these days. opinions are like assholes, everyone has got one.

    This was one of the first games I had ever played and I still would consider this among the best of all time. One of the most addictive and quirky games ever. This should be among the ranks of games like Ocarina of Time or Super Mario 64. A real diamond in the rough if you are lucky enough to get a copy. Every gamer should play this at some point in their lives.

    The difference between reviewer scores and the player scores indicate to me that many reviewers are morons. They are sick of life, playing games, and all that is good in the world. Stuff magazine is written by 12 year olds. This is one of the best platformers since Ocarina of Time, and the graphics perfectly suit the storytelling. Great art direction make the title shine.

    Don't be fooled by it's quirky robots and toys: This game is actually pretty good. How they took a mundane task like chores, and made it into a fun, sometimes dramatic, game is beyond me, but those crazies at Skip did. It. If you (for some reason) are looking for Gamecube games to try, give this one a spin. It won't disappoint... or maybe it will... It's an acquired taste.

    I've never smiled so much while playing a game. Me and my girlfriend have been having a great time playing this game. Don't listen to Game Informer or any others that rate it low, this is a great game with nicely tuned controls and plenty of neat upgrades for your Chibi-Robo. It's not as easy as they want you to believe, but it's not hard either. The comments about I've never smiled so much while playing a game.

The graphics fit the title to a "T", and are fun to look at. This game is FUN; there's no way around it. You will smile when you play this game. But don't listen to me, at least rent it to see what a neat experience it is. Think Toy Commander for Dreamcast with a little robot and many more customization options!… Expand

    NOSTALGIA OH THE NOSTALGIA. That's not the only reason to love this game, this game offers a lot in story telling and in gameplay. It's an all-around fun game and very well made for the time. This is probably the first actual open-world game I've ever played. For a kid it's extremely fun and even as an adult it's fun.

    Best Gamecube game of all time. Great lore and game pace, not slow but neither rushed, balanced amount of collectibles and full of original and innovative gimmicks. Definitely recommended to whoever wants to try a Gamecube game for the first time: this is a great choice!

    Clean up trash! Wipe the floor! Recharge your battery! Talk to quirky characters! Water the plants! Save a broken marriage! This game has it all.

    Now it just needs a proper console sequel. I heard there was one for DS that was pretty good, but it's only in Japanese.

    I really enjoy Chibi-Robo! It's a solid game with a nice simple narrative and easy to understand concept. It's weird and wacky, and overall, just fun, this is a game that everyone should play.

    Ii remember playing this game as a kid on my Gamecube. Wow, I was not expecting such an amazing story, I was absolutely blown away. The characters are all so lovable. You can explore the house as a tiny robot with the coolest flying television buddy around. I still go back and watch game play because it makes me so dang happy.

I would love a Chibi Robo entry on Switch, that returns to this type of story, this type of game play mechanic. The later entries feel cheap and cheesy for a game that deserves so much more.

    It has its share of quirks that do frustrate from time to time, but in the end the sheer charm, originality and fun-factor that Chibi-Robo exudes are uplifting enough to easily earn it my stamp of approval.

    Equal parts kooky characters, clever game design and addictive battery recharging, Chibi-robo satisfies that part of all gamers that simply wants a decent challenge, no matter what kind of cute wrapping it wears.

    In your travels you'll stumble upon and unfold an intricately spun web of character interactions, warmly drawn personalities every bit as rewarding to explore as the physical environments themselves. [Sept 2005, p.86]
