mom review My 8 year old and 11 year old both love this game. It serves as a great incentive to clean their room - " you can play Barbie Fashion Show after you clean your room" - IT WORKS. My kids love to show us their latest fashions, and can print them out to show their friends too!
JUST OK This is a great game for the first couple of days. After that, the novelty wears off pretty fast and frustration sets in at the fact that there are too few options in terms of brushes, colors, and lack of the all important "undo" button. It's pretty ridiculous in this day and age to have a "design" game and then not be able to use the paint can to fill in details or one part of the outfit without coloring the entire design like any lame paint program can do. If your daughter wants to paint the sleeves a different color than the bodice, she will have to do so with one of two oversized brushes or one of two stamps (star, heart) since the paint can colors the entire outfit and not just specified areas within the black lines. It's still a nice game and we had fun for a couple of days, but I have already ordered a new game for her, because I think this one has a short lifespan with respect to keeping my daughter interested. You could say this game is fabulous ... if you're not too picky and don't expect too much. But I expected more from this title, even if it was designed in 2004.
Top 3 favorite game for my 6 year old We bought this for her when she was 5 years old and she still plays with it. It can be completed over and over since each fashion show has you design a few outfits (with hundreds of options), choose model, hair and shoe styles, design the stage, have the models run through their paces and choose their moves, then you take pictures of the fashion shoot. It never gets boring.
My 11 year old nephew played it, I played it and my Father, a 52 year old Col. in the Army played it. Great fun, all the neighborhood kids want to come over and play it too!
Linda My two daughters 6 and 8 love this game. They play it constantly! It is so much fun and easy to use. I usually have to tell them to get off the computer. My 14 year old niece was sick over Thanksgiving. She asked me if she could use my computer. I had barbie fashion show in the cd drive. She started playing it and played it for about 3 hours. I would recommend this game to any girl who loves fashion. The only problem we had was when we tried to put it on an older computer that was running Windows 98. It works great with windows XP.
Lots of fun!!! This is a great game. My daughters got it for Christmas last year and still play it all the time. It's very easy to install and understand. They and their friends spend hours playing it!!! There are endless designs and fashion shows to come up with. Players can even select various backgrounds and music for the shows. They can also take photos as the models walk the runway and save them to an album. I plan on buying my niece one for Christmas this year.
