I think it's WAY too junked up with games and stuff. I don't really like the idea of the games because I tend to keep my Tamagotchi at the minimum weight so of course EVERYBODY at my school HAS to try to play the games and stuff and get really disappointed and then I have to fight with them so they don't feed it a snack! One time I told this girl about 10000000 times not to feed it a snack and guess what? SHE DID!
Oh I'm flying off the handle now...
Anyway, I don't mind that it's quite humanlike now. It gives a sort of "satisfactory realism" to it. But the games is a little too much as if I play the (longish) games, my mum says that it's taking too much of my time! What happened to the games of the old Tamagotchi, or the games that you don't have to complete fully of the v1? v2 wasn't too bad, but v3-4.5 is beginning to be a bit more on the games side. Have you seen the adverts? The newer Tamagotchi adverts are talking more about the shopping, Tamagotchi Town, new characters (most aren't new just taken from older or Japanese versions), new games...
Come to think of it, the Japanese Entama/Uratama are not game centered. I suppose the Tamagotchi School is though, with three menus for games. I'd really like a Tamagotch Chibi, no games and no time taken playing them.
