all in all, this game is worth a buy. i was intrigued when i first heard about this title. the imagine software seems to be doing great on the DS platform, with only a small release of their games for Wii. so i wanted to know what all the hype was about. at first it was hard to understand how to work the controls. but luckily, the beginning stages act a tutorial to help you learn the controls. after a short while, they became intuitive and i was breezing through the game. you can play freestyle or you can enter a project runway competition of sorts. freestyle lets you take your time and dress up the models any way you like, do their makeup and hair, and see your final creation as they strut on the runway. competition mode is you competing against other wanna-be designers and each round the lowest scoring person is eliminated. the tasks within each round are timed and incorporate a fashion theme, so you pretty much have to style the model as you're instructed. while this can sound boring, they made it interesting by giving you a few choices within the design guidelines and a time limit, so no time to overthink anything. this goes for clothes as well as hair and makeup. sometimes you'll be pleased with the overall look you've created, and sometimes you'll feel bad you made the model look so bad...i know i did. after you've gone to the trouble of doing up your model, you now have to walk her on the runway. you can do this with either the wiimote and nunchucks, or the wii balance board. i can tell you that both were taxing. this part of the game is probably my least fave. it all seemed like an afterthought. no matter how hard and fast you fling the remotes or how well you copied the moves on the balance board, somehow the moves wouldn't always register correctly, therefore causing your model to misstep on the runway. how dreadful. i guess i can live with that, but honestly i get frustrated with this part of the game. i would say the wiimote and nunchucks read better than the balance board, but you can come to your own conclusions about that if you have both options available. if not, you're not missing anything, so please don't go out in search of a balance board for this purpose alone. as you successfully complete more competitions, you unlock more styles to try on your model in free play. this is a great game for anyone interested in fashion. i would suggest this game for kids who are old enough to read. only because in parts of the game the dialogue is read aloud and other parts you have to read the dialogue yourself. that also made no sense to me. either voice all of the characters or none at all.

I'm 38 and we bought this for my 9 year-old step daughter and I play it just as often as she does. I like the free form play and the competitions in which you have to make certain choices for the model. We do have problems with the Wii remotes registering correctly on the screen, but have been able to overlook that and keep playing. The possibilities are endless. Different lengths for skirts, dresses, and pants. Plenty of styles to chose from and colors from solids to stripes to patterns. There are four different cat-walks to chose from for your model to walk down. Plenty of hair styles and colors to chose from as well. It has accessories as well such as shoes, handbags, jackets, gloves and stockings. If you have a little girl that likes to play dress-up with her dolls and plays video games, this is a good game to buy.

I bought this game for my 6yr old. She loves it! It is a bit tricky at first to figure out how to handle the remote but it is after all, a game :) There are many levels and different types of challenges. The graphics are pretty good and the music is upbeat. Overall, a great purchase!

I requested this game 1 or 2 years ago for Christmas, expecting a fun clothes designing and styling game. I also thought it would be better than Babyz Party because it cost about $10 more. Well, I was apparently wrong. The game features the player (you) in a fashion contest. Actually, I think they call you Mary.(My name is not Mary, but oh well.) There's even dialouge between your opponents .There's also a mean, snobby girl. Ehh. That stuff can be good in books...but I would rather do more work on the fashion. But anyway, heres the gameplay:

-cut clothes and pick colors and details for them
-put on makeup
-style hair

They really don't let you be creative either. The only time you can do your own fashion is in the free mode with outfits, which sadly isn't that fun. Neither is the gameplay. In the story mode they give you limited pieces of clothing and colors to choose from because there's different themes. Yes, that's how real fashion shows go, with a certain theme, collection, whatever you call it, but it's a video game. I only played the game once or twice also. Strangely, I thought about playing Imagine Fashion Party once or twice to cut some digital clothes, (weird description, sorry) , but found myself playing one of the Paper Mario's instead. So, as you can see, from my point of view I suggest you buy another game instead.

My 13-year-old and her friends enjoy this Wii game. Sometimes the catwalk/runway show at the end doesn't have the correct outfit that my daughter has worked to create. She can't figure out why this happens, but I have seen the girls spend lots of time having fun with this Wii game.

I bought this game for my 8 year old who loves fashion It was hard to follow along. She thinks the models walk poorly once on parade. I am not sure how you can get more than one model on display for the run way.

My daughter was really excited when she got this game. She only wishes that she could have more than two players at a time. I would recommend the product.

I got the Imagine Fashion party game for my eight year-old daughter for Christmas. She loves it. She said playing it compares to the DS Fashion games she also loves. It was a great purchase for a great price. I highly suggest it for little girls who like to play fashionistas.

My daughter called this game "cool". I saw her play it for a while and she did look to be enjoying herself. I am giving it 5/5 because she said that is how she would rate it.

We received this product in less time than anticipated and it was in new condition. Very pleased and would definitely shop through Amazon again and beat the traffic, gas and stress.
