Are the downloadable StreetPass games worth it?

I travel around a lot. And I usually bring my 3DS with me. Because of this, my StreetPass Plaza is over 2000. I am sick and tired of Find Mii 2. I like the puzzle pieces but, at the moment, I have them all. Are the games that are purchasable worth the money? I used to really like getting StreetPasses, but now it's kinda a bore.

Do any of you have the games? Which ones and how are they?

Bumping this in case anyone else is curious on what the Street Pass games have to offer.

I only have Mii Force and Monster Manor. Both are good games and utilize the tag function in a way that isn't painfully annoying like Find Mii.

If you like old school shoot'em ups, you'll love Mii Force. All tags (or play coins tags) are converted to guns types based on their shirt color. You get short segments of side scrolling arcade goodness per stage (a maximum of 12 if i recall correctly). I consider this one the best of the 4 games since it's very well made and has a charming atmosphere. It can be easy even on later levels, but it doesn't necessarily hold your hand.

Again, get this if you like Shooters. Great way to pass the time.

As for Monster Manor. Think of a Battle RPG like the Mario games but with light guns and ghosts, with a puzzle layout mechanic for traversing floors.

The goal of the game is to reach the top most floor of the Manor. To do this you gotta collect puzzle pieces (tags) that are used to make hallways and rooms to traverse on the floor so you can find hidden stair case that leads to the next floor. While going through doors from one room to another (made by connecting two pieces of different color), you might encounter a ghost (enemy), which leads to the battle portion of the game. Now the interesting thing is the battle takes place in real time rather than be turn based like the usual RPG. In battles, you use up to 5 different types of weapons (one for each of the games elements, and each one being a weakness to a certain type of ghost) and fight ghost by shooting them, charging up for a stronger attack, and blocking their attacks to conserve HP, as well as obviously, not die.

Game is actually a bit deep in this department as it has a ton of guns you can collect via the games various types of treasure chests. You can also fuse your main gun with other guns of the same type to create more powerful guns. Bosses are also interesting and offer a challenge. Sadly, a lot of the battles boil down to blocking, making sure your battery levels aren't too depleted (for the games, not your 3DS), and careful timing of your charged shots. There's also a puzzle mini game where you get rewarded with rare guns if you beat it under target time.

I did like it, but out of the two, I found Mii Force more appealing.

Can't say much about the other 2 games, as they don't really appeal to my interest. And I heard the Shogun one requires you to have absurd amount of street tags.

Taking my 3DS to college every class day gives me many opportunities to play the SP games. Also makes a great bolster point for raising your plaza population (currently @ 2764.)

Puzzle Swap begins to become fruitless when you have all puzzles collected. Yet the charm of it restores whenever there's new pieces released (took me around 1 month and a half for Mega Man & Dedede Drum Dash DXKirby Fighters DX) I've gotten to the point where I am bored of constantly going through Find Mii II and I have all the paths cleared. If only I had the 4 games rounded off, I could probably get a good 30 minutes worth of playtime.

I am interested in strategy and diplomacy games, so Warrior's Way looks appealing. I guess I'd have to take a closer look at the gameplay to see if it would be more engaging than Mii Force.

Oh, man. Yes, it's totally worth it. I got them all for 5 dollars off due to a deal at the time, and I like them all except Flower Town. Especially Monster Manor.
