"Parking Star 3D is a parking simulator and training device that has its very own concept working against it from the start. Parking is a stressful and boring activity that sadly is reflected and amplified by this game, now available to purchase on Nintendo 3DS eShop.
The thought behind Parking Star 3D is actually a good one: a fun and safe way to learn how to park a car. However, the it falls flat due to how incredibly boring it is. That is problematic, as no one is going to buy and play this game instead of doing the real thing when learning to drive. The point of educational videogames is that they are more fun than reality, which Parking Star 3D fails horribly at achieving."
PixlBit | "Oh, the rush of zipping around another car, missing its bumper by a tiny smidge, and slamming on the brakes as you pull into the perfect parallel spot before oncoming traffic T-bones you into oblivion! This is the heart-revving, nerve-rattling, airbag-exploding life of a Parking Star: a fantastical existence we can all now get a taste of thanks to Parking Star 3D! Alright, I can’t hide the fact that parking cars is lame, but thanks to my low expectations, after playing Parking Star 3D I almost feel like parking is really exciting.

Pure Nintendo: "I commend CIRCLE for both their continued publishing support of smaller companies, as well as their wallet friendly pricing – this game’s just $2.99. Parking Star 3D isn’t good however. It might have been done in from the start with such a peculiar premise, but little imagination and a host of problems ensures that it can’t rise above its odd theme. Don’t let the name fool you – this game’s no star."
