  12. [R88] Acrobat Star Show 1/5 · US Eh: It was fine the first couple of times, but then it just got glitchy, and i couldn’t do ANYTHING. Plus, having to get 3 stars is super annoying. It’s like, oh, you can’t play the whole point of this game until you do something you don’t even want to do! Like sure, getting to dress up your player is fun. But having to earn 3 stars? No. It just takes away the whole meaning of the game. It’s suppo

  15. [R20] Dance Clash 4/5 · US If this is a kids game, why does one of your hip-hop songs say the A word?: I was listening to one of the songs at the competition scene, and there was one word that stood out to me.
