3.0 out of 5 stars
Um it's okay., December 30, 2008
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
my 7 year old daughter got this in her stocking. It's all right, she really likes it but no one else has really played it, so I can't tell if it's because it's "hers" or if she truly enjoys it.
You get to dress up 4 different babies and as you win games it unlocks more clothing choices, this is her favorite part.
There appear to be a ton of mini games,
It's a good non violent game for a younger child. especially girls if you want to steer clear of the disney singing themed games.

3.0 out of 5 stars
2 & 1/2 of anyone older then 6, January 11, 2009
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
first off, the description says play for currency? what currency? I played all the games & won 90% & you only unlock the next season & very cute costumes.
Pros:
artwork - gorgeous ideas & nice attention to detail in backgrounds, though seemed lack money or time to implement more textures. loved the xmas lights glowing on the snowy ground.
the costumes were beautiful & great attention to detail like real expensive ones found in a store.
controls - done well, they work, though sometimes has you flick one direction instead of another & if do it wrong, it still responds as if done correctly
individual game ideas - good variety, some originality, great idea to use parts of old arcade games
presentation - some charm feeling to it
balance board - only 5 games used it & felt lame (red light, green light, walking in inflatable toy, musical note timing, direction rhythm)
Cons:
story - lame bad comedy sitcom that make you groan in pain
personality - babies only squeal which gets annoying
sound - very little which made it feel dull, needed more event sounds to add excitement & re-playability
difficulty - great for preschoolers or kindergarten kids only, no ability to make AI more challenging
overall gameplay idea - BABIES? that target audience is VERY small & tunes out ALMOST EVERYONE. doubt most elementary kids would be interested.
Gameplay ideas implemented - can tell individual mini game pitch great idea, but implemented/programed as cheaply/simply as possible as bad as a flash game
You pick which baby you want to be from 4 babies, though you can customize their race/gender & clothing on them all. The main part is broken into 4 seasons (spring, summer), the only other options is sound levels. you also can play any one game in quick play.
All games use competition between 4 babies & implement motion use as much as possible, gauges/timing, balancing sometimes & fatigue idea if walking/running to add SOME dimension & some need to pay attention in the game.
Games: dig & find balls in sand & hand to correct teacher, hit monster that comes out of jack in box if same color you represent only, simple card memory game, walk/balance in that huge, popular inflatable jumping toy/ride, pop bubbles, count sheep that come out other side of barn, not ones walk in & stay in, splash toys to you, walk grab bowls on tables to feed bears w/o bumping into other babies for same bowls, drink & burp, red light/green light, jigsaw puzzle, running after & keeping blanket from others, musical notes flying hit when your color reaches circle on each side, pretend to eat & throw bad food, bocce, diaper changing (turning to fit & ducky to distract others), Simon game, swing on swing set, run to birds on ground, simplistic snowball fight, tickling baby on the right spot, grabbing toys from pile to your baby (too many to even make it interesting), snake game using bathroom tissue, sumo game, brushing teeth & gauge for spitting distance, rocking baby & shaking alarm before goes off.
There is also two games that are done for all 4 seasons:
a VERY simplistic rhythm game using motion up/down or left/right that is SO slow, I saw grass grow & you can swing wrong & the correctly & still counts as correct. also, a tournament race involving running, bouncing on ball & tricycle (allows left/right to push out of way)
I can just feel there was great talent in the art dept, control programmers & idea people, but Ubisoft gave them little time/$$. then changed the overall pitch idea from what it was to a silly baby theme & forced them to make a baby theme story & they hated it. like a talented screenplay dumbed down by Hollywood producers. The talent that's there would be great for a more witty mini game collection like rayman raving rabbids game series. buy those instead, #2 is the easiest for kids, rent this only if you have said young kids who actually are WILLING to play as a baby.
IGN wrote a detailed review giving this game a 7.5 ... I don't know what they were smoking. Ripten gave a detailed hands-on preview,

Loved it, January 29, 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
I got this game for my four year old daughter. She has some what a hard time with the controllers but not that bad. I also enjoy playing this game and unlocking the outfits for the babys. Also Even though it is harder for her she still loves to play it.
