Ok for Older Girls This really is a great idea! However, the child needs to understand the whole concept of designing and showing clothes first... Then designing is the fun part. My daughter is 8 and would love to just design. She could care less about the whole fashion show stuff. Maybe she'll get into it when she's alittle older.
*I* like it... My sister got this game today at Wal-Mart only because it was on sale for $8.50, she already has Dream Life which she enjoys.
My sister loves fashion and for the most part she loved this game.
You start off in the United States and go through the major (or not so major) cities of the States with your fasion designs. At each show you are given a few goals to achieve: overall price of the outfit and two themes to stick to (or not stick to.) After the outfit(s) are designed you choose and style your model.
The judges give you a rating from 1-5 based on their personal preferences and whether you hit the themes or not. In the beginning you don't know the judges personal preferences, but as time goes on and you continue in the fashion industry you slowly unlock each of their two preferences. (Some hate certian colors or models, this will affect their score.)
If your score is high enough you are able to put a few of your pieces in your store where you can earn money. (To actually earn the money you have to go to the menu, hit the End Turn option and Manage Your Books.)
Designing the clothes is fun but a little hard with the remote. For me, the controls for the game aren't set up very logically and it got a little tricky since I kept hitting select when you need to hit down to choose an item. The clothes were simple, though varied and once you unlock the options you have lots of choices. It was frustrating until I figured that part out.
After each fashion show you get Diva Points and a new model, the Diva Points can be applied to the models and help them with their walk and get more points for you in the end. The models get pricey though, which I didn't like. Certian shows would cost me $4000 dollars for the models alone.
Graphic wise this game is great for the people who don't play Sims or other like games, the graphics are poor and simple and kind of boring.
All in all, I liked this game myself (I'm 18) it just takes a little while to get the hang of playing it. Even my little brother came out and started helping my sister and I choose outfits.
Girls have fun My girls ages 10 and 13 both enjoy this game. It's not a 2 person game though, so the other person has to sit around and watch the other play. But alone, they are captivated by it.
a lot of package for a little game My daughter likes the game, but it took her a while to figure out. To me it looks very low tech. The thing I didn't like most about buying this is it was a huge box for a little tiny game & by the time it was shipped here, one of the parts came out and was knocking around in the big gigantic box. Doesn't seem very enviromentally friendly to me to be using such a big box for a little game.
Designer's World My 11 year old daughter really wanted this for Christmas. I was hesitant and then I read all the positive reviews so I purchased it. What a waste of money. First, she thought is was hard to get going on it. Second, it held no interest. The ad for it is much better than the real thing.
