    Basically, the game is quite funny, but the idea on its own doesn’t make a game to a great one. Too many negative points like the controls and the fact that the character isn’t saying anything make this game to an average one.

    A technically decent WiiWare game, but it's nothing remarkable. Not essential. [Mar 2010, p.94]

    Stop Stress feeds the player's innate desire to smash things by using motion controls to do the smashing, though everything isn't as much fun to smash as it could have been.

    More likely to induce than reduce frustration.

    Eight dollars seems too high, especially since the experience is pretty short, and while smashing things has some entertainment value, the overall feeling coming out is “that was really annoying.”

    There is little reason to recommend Stop Stress: A Day of Fury, especially given its higher price-point. While the developer no doubt had the best intentions for a creative title that would allow gamers to let loose all their stress from the day, the game only seems to generate more, resulting in little more than an ironic title.

    I can’t say anything “nice” about this game. So do yourself a favor, save your money and go buy a good game, like Little King’s Story.
