This game requires DirectX 9.0 and video card that supports 3D and 32mb (not 16 as stated above) of video RAM. I've got a Sony VAIO 2.66ghz P4 with all the latest drivers and updates. This system tests out as optimal on all sorts of web sites for evaluating your system. However, this game will not run on this system. Unless you've got a system specifically set up for gaming, I think theres a pretty good chance it won't run on your system. Don't disappoint your little girl with this software. Before buying, install the latest DirectX from the Microsoft website, then go START>Run>dxdiag, then run all the tests. If you don't pass the Direct3D 9 test, don't buy it.

I think that most of this game is fun, but a few parts of it are boring.
There is a part where you pick what moves the models will do in the show. But you have to watch them walk clear around the stage and it takes a while. I either pick a small stage or just skip this. To skip it, you push the button that makes the model start walking then it turns into an X. If you push the X the model goes back to the start of the stage and you don't have to do it.
The other bad part is that you have to color the backs of the clothes! If you don't want to, just color the front then start the next outfit. When you go back to the first outfit the back will be colored exactly like the front!
The rest of the game is fun. I like to design the clothes. The first time you play it you do about 9 different shows that a lady named Cookie tells you what the theme is. When you're done you get an award and you can keep doing shows without starting over! The computer does say the theme but you don't have to do the theme after you finish the nine games and get the award. At the show they'll just say "This is the best fashion show ever!" or something like that.
I also like to choose who wears what clothes and pick their hairstyles and shoes. You can even send your clothes to barbie.com! I haven't done it yet, but I've seen clothes that people designed on barbie.com. I think I know how to do it, but I might be wrong. When you are choosing their hairstyles and shoes there is a button in the corner that says "barbie.com." That might be how you send the clothes.
I also like to see the shows, but after you have a lot you have to delete them to do more. You have to delete your clothes when you do this.
There are a few boring parts, but most of it is a fun game. I do not like Barbie anymore but I like this game. I do like the new Barbies better. But it's annoying that all the blond dolls are girly and have blue eyes and wear pink.
Even if you do not like Barbie, you might like this game.

I Bought this game for my two daughters aged 5 & 6 and I do not know who has more fun playing it, them or me!
The graphics are great. The fabric choices are fun and varied. The different assignments are interesting and challenging and the fashion shows at the end of each cahllenge are fun to put together and watch and put music too and take pictures of.
I would highly recommend this for all ages. Even the older girls in the neghborhood love playing it with us!

My daughters (ages 10, 7 and 4) love to create and design new fashions. This purchase is the best we've made in quite some time. No disappointments!

I bought this for my daughter and we sat down and played for at least three hours. I think I enjoyed it as much as she did. It was also very interesting to see that she had such a flair for style and could even make better designs than I could. We love this game.

This game is great. You get to design outfits by choosing material and colors. The game has separates and you decide what you want to put with what. As you go level to level, you increase your choices on clothes styles, colors, patterns, hair choices, and shoe choices. Once you design the clothes, you choose people to model them, then get to design the runway. You get to choose background, lighting, poses for the models and music. I have an 8 year old who loves this game. My 4 year old can play it too - her things might not match but she has a great time doing it. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to be creative, especially a child that likes to play with dolls or does dress up. It's the next step.

I bought this game for my 5 year old god-daughter, and unfortunatley, it does not work on her computer. We changed the resolution and downloaded the DirectX9.0 and even have the 32MB memory, yet it still didn't work. Make sure you read the system requirements before you buy the product so you won't waste your money on it.

OK, as you read you see the review with the title " I'm begging my mom for it". Well, that's me. Now that I have had it for a wile it's boring. After you complete the first 9 taskes you get no more new clothes ( shirts, pants...), fabrics, shoes, and hair styles. I find myself doing the same outfit over and over again. I realy wish i didn't beg my mom for it. Hope I helped!

This is a very fun game especially for little girls that LOVE to dress-up. My daughter was so excited to get this game and wasn't a bit disappointed. She will probably spend hours playing this game.

this is a game i play for hours and i love it. here are some pros and cons.

pros:
.choose from 5 models including barbie.
.make any fashions you want according to the theme.(over 50 fabrics, stickers, cloths, shoes, and hair styles= gives you about 300 choices)
.make the stage the way you want add lights music animation and statues.
.find the right moves to do.
.take up to five pictures for each theme to look at later or print.
.here are some of the theme
asia

.you get 3 levels and the higher the theme the more fashions you make.
.after 3 levels you can make your own theme and use all the fashions you got for each theme!!!!
.you get 3 studios that are totally diffrent!!!
