How Metascores Are Calculated
xx
1 vs. 100
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
A unique, free-form gaming experience, LOL’s motto says it best: “If the game is boring, then you are boring.” LOL is played by one of the players making a challenge in writing to the others. The crazier the challenge, the more fun everyone will have. The person who delivered the challenge chooses an appropriate time limit, and everyone has to answer the challenge on their touch screen however they see fit – with words, pictures, or whatever comes to mind. The host reveals the answers, and everyone votes on a winner who will then decide on the challenge for the next round. Always different and a blast to play every time, LOL will, as its name implies, make everyone laugh out loud. [Agetec]

If you find yourself the baffled over ways to entertain your guests at a gathering, it might be money well spent.

LOL doesn't do anything revolutionary for the DS or for party games in general, but it's a lot of fun and easy to use. If you and your friends crack each other up, you'll do the same with LOL.

As Chandler once said on Friends, this game is silly because it knows that “we enjoy the silliness.” Hmmm, that gives me an idea for another challenge.

With the right people involved, this can turn a dull bus ride or airport lounge into an extremely good fun, and crucially, a very personal gaming session. [Aug 2008, p.112]

You want to take this game seriously, you can do that. You want to goof around and draw naked stick figures, you can do that.

LOL certainly brought out the funny in the NGamer office, but apart from that this is about as lightweight as DS games come. [Sept 2008, p.64]

LOL is as deep as you want to make it, but it only takes a matter of hours until it gets old.

Console Gameworld
While LOL is a good idea and genuinely is a lot of fun, it lacks many necessary features and options to make it recommendable over just using Pictochat.
40
Worth Playing
In short, LOL is not worth it. The complete lack of single-player gameplay in any form, of enough actual gameplay to make a full game out of it, or, well, anything of interest that you cannot do with Pictochat makes its premise essentially useless to pretty much all players.

But I just can't give this game a legitimate score because this program essentially already exists with more font and typing options, wider use and less annoying mechanics. FOR FREE!

Congratulations, you just spent $20 on 10 minutes of gameplay! [Aug 2008, p.91]
