I originally purchased this game because it seemed really unique. I wanted some kind of mini game collection to add to my psp library. This one seemed to be the most unique of all the ones available. Overall this game is great. You start the game and you are a temp for hire by the job demon (or something like that). You start with just 3 mini games. You play these games to earn paychecks. The checks start off really small, but as you unlock minigames the checks become larger. You unlock more minigames by using your money in the vending machines. There are 1 dollar, 5 dollar, 10 dollar, and 50 dollar vending machines. There are a total of about 400 trinkets, 10 tools, and I think about 40 mini games in all to unlock. There is no special prize for getting all of the trinkets though, that would have been a good thing to add. The tools are really fun, you get a ramen timer, a nightlight, the eye spy, and the chinese horoscope thing, just to name a few. The graphics aren't very good, but that kinda adds to the fun, they are totally random. One game could have graphics similar to what you would find in an old nintendo game, and some have live action video clips, others look like old computer games. The music and sound effects are alright, but definitely a bit repetitive. The minigames are all fun at least the first time you play them. The only downside to the game is that once it's not really brand new anymore you will start getting tired of the repetitiveness of the minigames. But overall I would give this game a 4 out of 5 because no matter how much time you have, be it a minute or several hours, this game will entertain you.Read full review
I've kept returning to this game since 2009! 7 years... It's super funny how weird this game is and it's packed with a ton of games that you can mindlessly play and put down at any moment in your dull life. And these are games that will truly test your skill; reflex, patience, rhythm, you name it. These are valuable skills to take with you in life. You earn money from playing these games, and the longer you last the more money you get. It will make you work for every valuable dollar you earn. With this money, you can buy little random knick-knacks from vending machines, some $1 per trinket, going up to even $50 each. This, along with getting emails after sessions, has added a ton of longevity to this game that other minigame collections never have. There's a sense of progression and variety that seems like it can go on forever, and, so far, it has. It's even got a few whacky utilities like a ramen timer or flashlight that can send SOS signals. And this ramen timer ain't no ordinary ramen timer. If none of these other reasons appeal to you, then I gotta say, you still gotta buy this game purely for that ramen timer. It will change your life forever. Honestly, this is probably my favorite handheld game ever. I can always count on Work Time Fun to occupy myself with when I just feel like occupying myself with some nonsense.Read full review

I bought it expecting a quirky Japanese mini-games type game, and that's what I got. Well...sort of. Instead of the Warioware type of mini-games, it ranges from the insanely hard to insanely boring. By playing the mini games (referred to as jobs in the game), you earn money to spend on vending machines. They contain useless but cute trinkets, tools that can be used in real life via the PSP (ramen timer was LOL), and finally more mini games. However, what you get is really random, and you'll find that your hard-earned money (trust me, it really is hard to earn money) will disappear very, very quickly. The game overall was entertaining, filled with lots of Japanese humor, but it only should be played when there is nothing else handy.
If you like mini games this one's for you. Addictive, fun, and lots of games to keep your mind sharp. A little pricey for a complete copy but harder to find and worth it. Highly Recommended!!!

You begin with only 4 Games and have to play them to earn money. The games are really "retro", elder gamers will know some from the 80's. With the most boring games you will earn the most cash. You get more minigames by spending your money in different vending machines. You'll love some of the games and hate others... There are 40 minigames, 10 tools and over 300 items to win. In the onlinemodus you may give games to other psp-ownerst and earn money when the play with them. You can also exchange items. In German/auf Deutsch: Dieses Spiel das soweit ich weiss nicht in der EU erschienen ist, beinhaltet 40 Minigames , die nach und nach erspielt werden können. Man beginnt mit nur 4 Spielen und verdient beim Spielen Geld das man dann wieder an Verkaufsmaschinen ausgeben kann. Die Spiele sind bewusst langweilig gestaltet, aber die meisten haben trotzdem (zumindest anfangs) ihren Reiz. Ausser den 40 Minigames spucken die Verkaufsmaschinen auch 10 mehr oder weniger nützliche Tools für die PSP aus, und ausserdem 300 Bildchen die man mit anderen Spielen tauschen kann.Read full review
