My Friends is a series of playground games. You go to different playground-type areas, like an ice rink, sports field and an actual playground. At said locations you make friends and play common outdoor games. But before you can do any of that, guess what you need... friends! They don't just happen automatically, you have to create them all to your own design.
That's right - before you actually get to play anything in My Friends, you have to spend a good number of minutes creating said friends. You're given options that should be familiar to anyone who has played games in the My Games series by O-Games, including hair, skin color, clothes, favorite animal, favorite music, and the like. Many of these choices have no bearing on anything, but others do.
You design and name these friends then assign them to one of the playground areas.Once you've created your cliques, you can play games with them. Tag is the first game made available to you on the playground. To play tag, you trace your stylus around the screen and your character follows. Running faster requires you to push one of the bumper buttons on the DS. To make this work, you have to have one hand holding the DS with a finger on the bumper, and the other hand navigating the stylus. While these controls respond well and work, I find them to be a little awkward. I would have really preferred to move my character using the D-pad on the DS if I'm going to be using a bumper button to make him run. That's a personal preference, though, and others may find this control structure to be fine.Completing games makes gifts and stuff appear around the playground area, regardless of whether you win or lose. You find them and pick them up, then give them to the other friends you have created to make them happy. This is required if you want to unlock new customizations for your friends and new games to play.That's right - you have to bribe your digital friends to play more games with you, else you'll be stuck playing tag for the rest of your life.So that's how My Friends moves forward. You play games, unlock prizes, give the prizes to people, and unlock new games. Eventually you unlock the rest of the play areas, stuff for your characters and other things that "expand" the game.
