After we got this program properly loaded we really had a blast with it! The in-line skate side of the program goes a little slow and tedious for an unskilled user. The snowboard side, on the other hand, is useable from the beginning by small hands and large. The gear shops where you outfit the girls has a fun selection of clothes and equipment that match and vary in price. The gamer must skate or snowboard through the different levels to collect enough tickets to upgrade outfits and gear. Games are automatically saved by the sign-in name so you don't have to worry much about losing your hard-earned tickets. My nieces all thoroughly enjoyed this game - so did I! It's one program I'm glad we got. Always check the system requirements before you buy.

I bought this game for my 9 year daughter and she loves it! The snowboarding features excellent runs and lots of point winning chances! You use your points to buy new boards and clothing so you can do different tricks and look fashionable doing it.

We didn't think very much of the inline skating there wasn't really much to do. Although the shop was still fun.

This is a great game for all ages!

I used to enjoy this software, as I had 3 years ago, but now when I upgraded my computer to XP it doesn't work properly even with the copatibility options.I do miss this game and like to play it again.Help me please

Contrary to one of the reviews, this program does NOT appear to work with WindowsXP Home Edition. (Tried the process stated and it still doesn't work.) Newer computers don't have low enough graphics capabilities APPEARS TO REQUIRE 640x480 and NO higher resolution.

The graphics are great and the cd-rom can be used as a cd with some tight soundtracks BUT you have to do the same corses over and over agian. One diffrence you can learn new tricks get better clothes and new styiln' blades or boareds! Overall pretty cool.

I thought that this game would allow me to play more then just 2 sports: Snowboarding and Skating. Although the 2 sports were fun I would prefer more variety then what is given. I rated it a 1 because I really didn't approve of this game!

I tried the suggestion from Weihong Yang from Sunnyvale, CA United States and it didn't work. So if anyone else can find a way to get this to work with XP please let us know. Sad that they sell products that don't work with current operating systems. Sad for our children who get them for gifts. I think the software company owes us a fix.

Beware it you buy this game. It does not run on Windows XP system. My daughter was very disappointed, because it was a reward for good behavior. We did get it to run on a old computer and my daughter loves it. It is very difficult for a 6 year old, but she can grow into it. She was also a little disappointed you could not control the game using the keypad arrow keys, like the other barbie games. Using the mouse to control barbie on a snowboard and rollerblades in a little tough.

When I got Barbie Super Sports for Christmas I was realy exited. I thought it would be a realy good game. I turned out to be correct. It was a little confusing at first. When I tried the skating I would click the mouse once it would go ok for a while then she would start spinning. I found out that if you run out of momentom you have to click the mouse agian. when you by a pair of new skates whoever you are says each pair of skates lets you do new tricks.My brother and I couldnt figure out what they meant because when I bought a new pair of skates she did the same thing. If you look in the top right of your screen you see a clover if you hit the space bar though it will change. those are the kinds of jumps you can do. If you click on the babie 'B' and then on the buttens that apear on the bottem of the screen you can exit the game,chage to snow boarding or skating,go to the shop,even look at a map of where you are. I would recomend this game for 5-9 year olds.

My Daughter just loves it and provides hours of fun for her, especially on rainy days.
