Gameplay

The game features several game modes:

Story: Single player with nine "dramatic sequences" set in a park.

Reception

The game received a score of 63/100 at Metacritic indicating "mixed or average reviews". Although Nintendo Life praised the presentation and controls, they otherwise felt that as a whole the game was shallow and repetitive. IGN called the story mode of the game "heartwarming and unique", but also noted the repetitive nature of the game. Wiiloveit.com thought much of the game, but the hefty price tag really got in the way of being able to recommend it strongly.
