    You'll field baseballs, put an infinite number of pen caps on an infinite number of pens, and generally marvel a how tedium becomes fun here. [Nov. 2006, p.104]
  2. Work Time Fun is ridiculous and there's nothing else quite like it. It's not for everyone, but if you're looking for something insane and Japanese, you'll probably love it.
  3. Like Me & My Katamari, Japanese games might seem bizarre but trust me when I say that missing out on them or this game would be a real shame. Now if I can only get a job sorting out baby chicks I’ll be set.
  4. The humor just oozes out of every orifice that the game has, which just has to be seen to be appreciated if you’re into this kind of stuff.
  5. 75
    You'll laugh out loud in your time spent with Work Time Fun. You'll even become thoroughly immersed in what you're playing, despite its ridiculousness, and for thirty bucks, this is a game you should definitely consider adding to your PSP collection.
  6. WTF: Work Time Fun won’t keep you occupied for days but if you have a few minutes you want to kill every now and then, you’ll want to have the game in the library.

    You think this is a frackin' game? Yes and no. Not everyone has made contact with low paid, bad jobs, but if you ever had contact, you canYou think this is a frackin' game? Yes and no. Not everyone has made contact with low paid, bad jobs, but if you ever had contact, you can definitely relate to the content of "Work Time Fun". Starting with the title and ending with the whole content, this game is sarcastic without mercy. The mini games (jobs) are creative, yet dull, yet entertaining, yet torture - it's genius! Sometimes you see yourself smiling and then you realize how wrong it is. This game is a gem for your collection, but also a dirty rock. You have to play this piece of art to understand my statement.

This "game" is a parody of crappy minimum-wage jobs in the skin of a videogame. I can't guarantee you'll like it (you probably won't) but you owe it to yourself to give it a try. Full Review »

    Worst game I ever played. If you LIKE to work assembly line jobs and pay to do it, this game is for you. Capping 3000 ink pens is just notWorst game I ever played. If you LIKE to work assembly line jobs and pay to do it, this game is for you. Capping 3000 ink pens is just not my idea fun. Must be retribution for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Full Review »
