Editorial Review

Sort of a pared-down version of The Sims computer game, Pixel Chix provides grade-school girls with a virtual buddy whose every move they can control. Residing in a luxurious Miami loft, this Pixel Chick is a 2-dimensional LCD image imposed on a background with 3-dimensional furniture. Five action buttons on the front program the Pixel Chix pal to play, eat, change clothes, go out, or go to sleep, and "yes" and "no" buttons let girls answer the Pixel Chick’s questions. As long as girls are playing with their chick, she is happy; but ignore her, and she gives her owner a lot of ‘tude by anxiously tapping her foot and clearing her throat. Attentive owners will continue to advance along the 5-level gaming system and accumulate more cool stuff for their Pixel Chix pal. However, neglecting the pal causes her to lose all her possessions and, eventually, her screen darkens and she splits. Connecting two Pixel Chix houses together lets virtual friends visit one another while hooking three or more together causes the pals to have a multi-caller phone chat or perform a dance together. While thoroughly entertaining for young girls, parents may tire of hearing the loud conga music or the word "Fabulous!" spoken over and over again. The house runs on three "AAA" batteries, which are included with purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

Some people say "dont waste your money on that weird house!" but i dont think its a waste at all. I keeps you entertained. i did it in a 3 hour car drive, and i got to all of the levels. but then on the trip, i didnt play with her that much, and i lost alot of levels. this is fun if you have time for it, but if u dont have time but still play with it, dont be bumded if you loose alot of levels! ages 7-13

This review is from: Pixel Chix DollHouse #3 (Toy)

this toy is so cool! i love playing w/ it. each of the 3 houses has a different girl livin inside it (their soooo cute). i picked the pink house (but i want all 3!). the picture on amazon squishes the house so it looks weird, but it's the same size as the other houses. and the screens are all the same size (not different sizes like the review before mine).

i take her everywhere, she's fun to have in the car. i ike that she talks to me rather than just make weird noises and no really say anything. there are so may things to do with her, it's fun to changeher outfits, pick out her food and play games (you have to play with her to unlock more games, i've already unlocked this fun game where you have to catch her fish in a fish bowl as it jumps out!)

i want to get one for my friend's birthday that is next week so we can connect the houses togather and our pixel chix can be best friends just like us!

It's fun for a while. They do the same things over and over again. they are very loud and you can't turn the volume down. I know someone that dropped it on the carpet and she had to start all over.
