5.0 out of 5 stars Way cool, October 19, 2006

Jay Macintosh - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock Monsterz Roc - MIUCHIZ Virtual Companions (Toy)

I bought 2 of these for my kids and they are both ecstatic about the toy. Not only do they play it offline but when they connect to the virtual world, everything they did offline gets transferred to the world. My son was awed when he dressed his monster up with battle gear and armor only to see it in the world. This toy is for the new era of consumers who understand computers and know how to use them. I read a few reviews from users who just could not get it connected. Like any computer hardware, you need basic understanding of how to install computer software/hardware and how to get them connected to the internet. I suspect these customers that failed to get their game connected, probably had very little if no computer experience. I like to think of myself as computer literate, but found that my son got it hooked up and running faster than I could. Definitely one of the coolest new toys around, I suspect we will see many more of these types of toys/virtual worlds in the next few years.

My daughter who purchased the Cloe unit spent a great deal of time shopping in the store on the handheld and then went into the world. The graphics on the handheld are fairly basic but when you go into the virtual world the graphics are very high quality. The little Cloe's running around all dressed up looked quite cool. My daughter loved going to the changing room and trying on new clothes all the time. She also loves playing some of the arcade machines that are sprinkled around the world. These contain cute little games that you can play like "Memory", and "Mix and Match" that allow kids to earn more money (Creditz as they call it) and then have it go back to your handheld so you can purchase more stuff offline.

The game is just full of options, I do not believe my kids even found them all. I saw them play games on the handheld, dress up their character, feed them, buy toys for them, change their colors and then when in the world, there is a whole new set of activities for them to do. In the world I saw them playing some Arena fight game (very tame and harmeless), then a Laser tag game, a whole bunch of board type/2d games, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, race games, balloon pop games and the list goes on. We do not know what was in the Haven world as we needed a Pawz game to enter that area, but my kids are already bugging me to purchase one so they can find out.

I was very impressed at the great pains Bratz went to in making sure the game was kid friendly. There seem to be lots and lots and lots (almost too much) of checks and balances to prevent inappropriate content for children. Kudo's to them for trying to make this safe for kids.

For $30, you definitely get your money's worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars good toy, no problems for me, January 1, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rock Monsterz Roc - MIUCHIZ Virtual Companions (Toy)

I got this for x-mass, and i have no problems connecting to pc and doing what they tell you. I updated it fine, and the little roc person goes online and plays ok. My computer is the same, and i didn't put the names of my friends email on the sign up thing. It works nice, and the online play is fun, i havent had any problems with it. If you can't get it to connect, you should go to the computer in the persons house, than plug it in quickly while the miuchiz sync software is running. The online part lets you play 2d and 3d games, like lazer tag in 3d and a game like space invaders in 2d. It also lets you earn creditz and buy stuff, like clothes and weapons and a house. The weapons and money you earned go back into your handheld part when you exit the online game. The instructions for the online game which are in the game itself, are not current, they say houses and creditz are coming soon, but they are working in the game.
