Review: My Boyfriend (DS)
I’ve had some seriously drunken nights in my past and ended up in some strange places but as a straight man I can assure you that this is the first time I’ve ever played around with My Boyfriend.
The back of the box asks – “Is your dream guy tall and handsome, or blonde and sporty? Perhaps he is a romantic intellectual?”. This doesn’t bode well for me as my dream guy happens to be a short ugly redhead who is unfit, repressed, and dumb. I suppose I must accept that I can’t have everything on my check-list and will have to make do.
The ‘options’ is a lie as the lone decision you’re asked to make is whether to turn the sound on or off. This may seem like a trivial choice but you’ll be grateful when you discover that the same elevator music plays on repeat and every time you speak with someone you’re greeted with a jarring sound.
The graphics are quite poor especially when compared with the ones featured on the back of the box which makes me suspect that concept art has been used to pretend that the in-game graphics are much better than they really are.
The game begins with my character babbling about some super hot dream guy she wants to pounce and my friend suggests that I should go looking for him at school. I found this very creepy as lots of school noise can be heard and yet the playground is empty apart from myself, my friend, and this guy. You can play a “soccer” mini-game which is very similar to table-top hockey and is okay apart from the goalkeepers being built like quarterbacks which reminded me of Adidas Power Soccer on the PS. I made an effort to be as hot as possible, changed out of my jeans and into a skirt, and approached this guy. I chose the ‘embarrassed’ speech option, telling him that it was nice to finally speak with him, and he replied “I don’t really understand, but I have to go to my rehearsal now.” Asshole.
You would think that this would be enough to put me off this waste of space but apparently this only spurs me on. I went back to my home and made the mistake of asking my dad if I could help him with anything to which he replied “Thank you darling, but I’m just making dinner. You know that healthy food lovingly prepared is vital for a sound body and mind.” When I asked if I could go and visit my friend my father replied “Of course you can! Why don’t you both go out into the garden? You’ll both really enjoy that!” This is like something out of an episode of Twin Peaks.
My friend suggests that I stalk this dream boyfriend and start by finding out more information on that rehearsal he ran off to. I approached some guy who was standing in the middle of a road, presumably attempting to escape the game he finds himself trapped in, and asked about the rehearsal. He responded with “Rehearsals? No, there are no open rehearsals here…” well, no shit Sherlock, those would have to be some pretty fucked up rehearsals if they were taking place in the middle of a road!
I’ve decided to bring this review to a close as I have some quality games to be playing and the only thing this does well is to teach young girls that not only should they smile as they put up with bullshit from some loser but they should actually spend their time stalking the waste of space. To sum this up, poor graphics, poor music, poor “storyline”, and poor taste. There are plenty of good kids games out there and this really isn’t one of them.
3/10
I’ve been waiting for someone to review My Boyfriend for such a long time now. Thanks!
…Wait, what?
I think the reviews for this game are shocking and vulgar. I quote
“My Boyfriend is hard, but fun in some places.” I cant beileve a kid wrote that review.
So, I decided to get this game.
It is a waste of time, and your completely lost.
Its not worthwhile and so far, all its telling my character to do is change her ‘style’ so the boys friends will like her better.
Yeah thats what I’m stuck on !
I can’t figure our what I’m meant to do and I’m getting really annoyed !
Hello Elly, I take it you didn’t read my review before you purchased this incredible game?

how the hell do i make these friends of the boy like my character, thy are telling me i cant even get in the way i look
you have to buy a 3star top
Hey WHAT WIV NOT LETIN ME INTO A DISCO COS OF TH£ WAY I LOOK
wat sort of game is it!!!!!!!
But thats a good sum up of the game!
i’m stuck in the same part ¬¬ is stupid! i don’t know what to do… help me!
u got to wear da white shirt dat has da belt on it an a red skirt an dat should let u in
Sounds a whole lot like “Miss popularity”
i bought it, there were 3 guys to choose from, all the endings were the same.
the guys were ugly, the voices were bad-
and it’s pretty much the same concept-
ugh.
what is the mott outfit when you have a party at a friends house? i have the sporty man.
da shirt an jeans or skirt match like at da top of da shirts theres a sign like a cowboy hat or peace sign u got to match dat wit da jeans or skirt
one of the onces with a sign
What the hell do you have to wear to get into the disco? What exactly does wearing an outfit have to do with getting street cred? This game is irratating and I usually have a soft spot for crappy games – no idea why – but this one is nothing other than a waste of money and time.
Wear the red skirt with the cowboy hat & the white shirt with the black belt on it.
Arghhhh! “Fine in principle but u need a new outfit” …. I dont even want to be in the crappy band! As much as this game is agrivating i feel the need to finish it ..
I recommend you to play better games of this type, like Heileen, Spirited Heart, Yo-Jin-Bo: The Bodyguards, or Fatal Hearts. Those are for computer. There are also for the DS, Avalon Code, Princess Debut, and Harvest Moon DS Cute.
This game is so awesome. The music is great, the graphics are great everything. Hell, even the box cover is great. I recommend this game to anyone looking for a great and decent DS game. Man, I’m gonna buy 5 copies of this game.
I’m just kidding, this game sucks ass.
im stuck on the stuff wen his friend disses me and tells me to come back dressed nicer T_T im frickin stuck
ok on the game my bf is a musician and his friens wont let him see me because of the way im dressed and what am i sopposed to were for gods sake plz help me!
has enyone answered?
my bOyfriend is a sportman.
but what dO i
have to wear,
to get in his
team -.-
Press CTRL, then click on your chars head on the left in the corner.
U need to pick the things where the hearts are.
So, apparently personality,intelligence , manners and hygene have nothing to do with getting a boyfriend if you can dress “well”.
Pffft. I’m kinda glad I looked up this review so i can tell my customers not to get this horrid game.
hehehe
I wus gonna get this game, but now i wont bother.
thanx to the anon, i already had hmdsc, but ill try the other two, already serached them, they look great!
how the crap did this game get a rating of >0?
Are you kidding me???? The game is so super awesome!!! It is like the best game I have ever played. Something is wrong with you people. GET THE GAME ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. I was just joking. There’s obviously no fooling you. This game is super awesome.
This is the greatest review ever. I found myself laughing at every paragraph. I really do wish it was longer though.
I give this review a 9/10.
Oh, and fuck the game.
Hello Andrei and thank you!

I really want to buy the game but now that I have heard all of this im not sure, please if someone could help me deside that would be great.

I’ve passed the street cred bit, and now I’m up to playing the football match for my sport guy, what do I have to do?
this is very annoying. i can’t even get past the first step =( i’m stuck where i have to talk to the musician but they say i’m not part of the group.
What are the moderators doing of this site?!! This game is played by under 12 year olds, and my daughter comes here for help. Some kind-a **** help she’s getting if this is what she is reading on the comments.
By and large, most of the comments are good, but please, stop using bad language. If the game is so frustrating, you obviously don’t enjoy the challenge, so give it away!!!!!!
Are all comments on this site really moderated?
I agree, if you don’t like it, don’t comment…
But if you wanna talk about the game you shouldn’t comment here, but on another forem or something??
But w/e, i just wanted to say that there are a lot of the same questions, maybe you should just read a little better, and it could work if you also just searched the internet before posting this all, cuz you can already find lots of stuf.
where is the disco
I can’t believe people are actually discussing this game and being serious about it.
This isn’t anime-style so you gotta know is lame XD The good dating games are anime style but most of them aren’t in english sadly :’( Harvest moon is good and in english if you like this type of game, trust me I have seven HM games and don’t regret buying any of them (Harvest moon DScute is my current favorite) and great review btw! Hilarious
Omg someone help!! ive got the rebel and im stuck getting into the disco,ive got the white top on with the black belt&ive got the red skirt on with the hat but i havnt gotta clue were the disco is? can someone help!

i have the rebel guy and i need to do the skate board thing for the guy that cant do it,, but all he keeps saying is ‘fine in principle, but you still need a suitable outfit’.. I’VE TRIED EVERYTHINGG !!
I´m stuck in the part in which I have to gain street cred. What do I do now?
hey i nneed help my bf is the althelit and i dont know what to wear to have that match thing
I don’t understand how that’s shocking or vulgar. Are you talking about the contradiction of words?
So my mom bought me this game thinking that because I’m a girl I might enjoy it…..thank god gamestop lets you return a purchase
within seven days. Honestly terrible game, with no actual difference in plot, no matter what choices you make you get the same response with just a slight difference or change of words…ugh
i found out there is two games called my boyfriend for the DS….
this is one of them….
i think the other one is better….
meow
Wear your most fanciest clothes try a white top with belt and a black skirt tht should do the trick
I have chosen the musician, and I want to know how to dress for the rehearsal, can someone please help me?
