Neopets: Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing is an action video game, released on March 14, 2006. It is a single-player PlayStation Portable action/adventure game based on the Neopets franchise.[1]
Gameplay
There are four playable Petpets: Doglefox, Krawk, Mazzew, and Meowclops. Throughout the game, the player can acquire items such as swords, staves, wands, magic spells, and armor for the head and body. It can then be customized with the items. As an anthropomorphic Petpet from Neopia, the player must find and utilize various items. There is no experience or leveling up to improve the petpet. Instead, tokens have to be won by paying a fee and challenging bosses in the Battledome. Once a player has the correct token for a particular statistic, it then can be used at a trainer. Also available in the Battledome is a wireless feature where a player's Petpet can fight his friends'. If Ad Hoc multiplayer is used, the entrance fee is removed and the winner still receives the token corresponding to the battledome challenged in.[citation needed]
Plot
The game takes place in the hidden Petpet world of Petaria, in which the player must retrieve the magical "Wand of Wishing" in order to succeed as a warrior.
Reception
IGN praised the game for its cute protagonists and outdoing typical expectations of a franchise game. However, there is criticism of imbalance, such as the difficulty when starting off and the overpowering bows that can be acquired.[2]
