Product Description
Created specifically for the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system, WTF is a crazy collection of fun and addictive mini-games that drive the player to perform sometimes trivial, sometimes mind-bending, but always-fun jobs in pursuit of the almighty dollar. Players will spend their well-earned money in the prize-vending machines on new jobs, games, trinkets and for the first time ever on the PSP system, tools to use in the real world such as the World Clock, Ramen Timer, and Flashlight. After players have spent their money, they'll head back to work so they can earn more money to buy more stuff, like real life but much more fun. WTF delivers gamers compelling, bite-sized morsels of frenzied arcade-style action unlike anything ever seen on the PSP system. Single Player or Multiplayer Gameplay Modes - Play through the game solo, or with your friends in 5 multiplayer mini-games using wireless ad hoc mode

Quite addictive...at first though... November 29, 2008
So I've played for maybe 5 months now, and the games are okay, some are fun, and some are awesome! The games some times are SUPER HARD! Some are a little too easy, like the Pen game, where you just put caps on pens...I got addicted because the emails that you get in the game are fake, but HILARIOUS! Like one kid kept sending me ones like "I crossed the pacific using only my farts." and a guy told me that "(around) 9 percent of the electricity i use is offline electricity (meaning when a TV is off, it uses 9 percent of power)" The game is pretty mindless but fun, for a while. If you have a Blockbuster that lets you rent PSP games, unlike me, then definitely give the game a try, especially since collecting the Trinkets and Tools are addicting and fun! ONE last thing, this game IS NOT a WarioWare copy! This game is not the "5 second mini-games"! One game (fishing game) can sometimes take 10 hours until it lets you play, but you get lots of in-game cash!
This is what handhelds are for. August 26, 2008
I bought this game not too long after it came out. I'm still playing it. If I take my PSP and only one game somewhere in anticipation of a little time to kill, there is a good chance that one game will be WTF.
If you've read this far, you know that WTF is a collection of minigames. My personal favorites are Buddha's Quest (a string of turn-based-RPG-style battles, gleefully ripping off the 8-bit era Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest battle system), Cliff Race 2000 (stop your car closer to the edge than your opponent; for some reason this game reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons) and its 2-player variant, Private Number (a Mastermind-type game, except instead of guessing colored pegs you're guessing the last four digits of a girl's phone number), and Caddy's Quest (move around an infinite golf course picking up golf balls and the occasional sea turtle egg).
And no, I still don't have all the trinkets. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go pick up some golf balls.
I'm Not Sure Why... March 31, 2008
... but I can't put this stupid game down! I spent almost an hour just putting the caps on pens and buying stupid plastic figures out of a gumball machine.
This is one of those time-waster type games that keep you hooked for reasons you aren't even fully aware of. Some of the games include sorting baby chickens into groups (male, female and "Heaven," and god forbid you send a live one into the Heaven pile), punching flying coffee cups, catching baseballs, cutting dedication ceremony ribbons while intoxicated, splitting wood (please don't split the cute animals!) and a bunch of other very bizarre stuff. For jobs completed, you get a paycheck ranging anywhere from a few cents to a couple bucks.
Then you go blow your paycheck on capsule toys and new minigames. Lather, rinse, repeat. And I can't wait to get home from work to do it all again.
Why why why! November 4, 2007

This game is awful, but I found myself playing it for hours! Why why why! You do "work" (capping pens, sorting chickens, making pots, wrestling) for a paycheck. Then you take that paycheck to get useless figurines or new "games" as in new "work." The work is usually quite grueling, but for some reason I still continued to play for hours! When I made my first $50, I put it into the $50 vending machine and got....a figurine. But did that deter me from continuing to play? No!
Some of the games are really hard like "Run Like Hell." But there's something terribly motivational about working really hard and trying to win new games to try out. I feel a little sad that I will cap 1000 pens just for $20. But I figure, if I've played it for hours, I obviously was having fun, right?
Strangest Game I Have Ever Played September 3, 2007
WTF for the PSP is definitely the strangest game I have ever played. I bought it on a whim at Toys R Us. It was priced at $9.98, but since it was on the clearance rack, it was an additional 20% off, so I got it for $7.98. I have a hard time resisting games priced in that price range. Like another reviewer, I had no idea what to think of this game when I first picked it up, and it took me a little while to figure out how to buy more than the first 4 games ("Jobs") that were already loaded for me to play. I have to say, after now playing it for a few hours, this compilation of games is not only strange, but strangely addicting. From wood chopping to putting caps on ink pens, it's amazing how addicting these mini-games are. It's like playing WarioWare Microgames with a slightly darker twist. Some of the visuals are downright strange. I find the baseball game to be very difficult, but for the most part, the other mini-games that I have played are enjoyable. I would NOT pay more than $20 for this game, but if you find it on clearance, it's a definite must buy. ENJOY! :)
