5.0 out of 5 stars Super Cute Toy for Tween Girls!, July 28, 2009

This is such a cute and fun collectible toy for girls. If you are looking for something new and lots of fun for tween girls, famps is a great gift! You just buy the starter kit that you hook up to your computer. Then put in the cute little collectible character and your entire computer screen changes to the mood of your character. The character that you get with the starter kit is Creative, so she is all about art and creating things. Super cute! You can buy additional characters as well like Happy, Sassy, Silly, etc. BTW - famps stands for feelings, attitudes, moods and personalities - how cute is that?!?

famps has a fun website too! You can take a quiz to find out which famp you are, find out all about famps and play games. I think that I have one of the highest scores! Check it out - www.myfamps.com.

Great price from Amazon and the business I purchased this from. I give both a Five Star. I had looked at local stores and they wanted 20+ dollars! This is a fun and educational game for children and adults. The children learn the basics of the computer; they love having a place on the computer--like their parents--where they can enter their world, however, it is safe and entertaining. I recommend this kit and the members of the FAMP family--get them all. The children will love them, and so will you! Thanks, Amazon.

This is an amazingly bad product - with poor (pretty much non-existent) documentation of how to "play/use" it - buggy software that while it says it is made for 6 year olds was not usable by my A student 8 year old - and left me stumped for hours as I tried to debug it and find out what in the world it was good for. The software (which you have to download to use - not shipped on the CD rom which comes with it) - froze on 2 different PC's, I visited the website - and found a bunch of test forums, and no actual other users other than people asking if anyone else could use the "game".

I think the prior reviewer is someone who works for the company - because this is not something any tween in their right mind would enjoy.

I'm sorry I already threw out the box amidst all the Xmas other boxes - or would return it immediately.
