5.0 out of 5 stars cool barbie game about time, September 28, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery (CD-ROM)

i have lots of barbie stuff, even games but I never liked the games very much until now. This one is really cool. you play Barby and you can talk to everyone and its really really funny. i like changing Barby's clothes. Also you can play lots of little games like fixing the music. The story is really good and funny. I didn't know at first who was causing problems for Barbie's band. her friends Tia and Courtney are really cool and Keviin is super cute. He helps Barbie film everything. Barby is pretty and super smart. She can be funny and silly too. She makes the mean girl (Raygun?) look dumb at the end. This game made me think a lot and I learnt a lot. I played it 2 times and I will play it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good!, October 3, 2006

This review is from: Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery (CD-ROM)

I'm not the kind of mom who normally invites Barbie into her home. This time I didn't have a choice -- my daughter got this as a birthday present from a beloved aunt and we had to play. I must say, though, I didn't mind what I saw and I think I had almost as much fun playing as my 8 yr. old. Barbie is actually a reasonable high school girl who can be funny and goofy at times. She wears t-shirts and jeans and is as interested in schoolwork as in fashion. My one complaint is that the game is a little slow to take off, but once it gets going, the mystery is fun to solve.

Good thing I was there because a couple of the puzzle games stumped my daughter at least initially, but she was grabbing the mouse back from my once I showed her the way. She loved the computer tracing one and the necklace one.

I'm a discriminating mom who believes strongly in providing good role models to her daughter. This Barbie passes the test. Now its time for my daughter to go outside and enoy the sun.

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery (CD-ROM)

I agree with many other reviewers. The game was awsome with fun but I was a little mad when I was able to finish the game within two hours! I am 13, and me and my sister like the barbie movies and some of the games,we thought it had to be good because we split the price to buy it because it was $30.00 and we thought it must be good if it costed that much. I was fun but if you want a good mystery game try Nancy Drew games, they are much more fun and try Secret Agent Barbie. It is more complex. All in all, either spend your money on Secret Agent,Nancy Drew,another Barbie game, or don't bother buying anything at all.
