Product Description

Product Description

In a game that was made with girls in mind, Rugrats: Totally Angelica stars Angelica Pickles, the loud, bossy older cousin in the Rugrats TV show. At 3 years old, she's able to talk to adults and toddlers while manipulating and terrorizing both. And in this game it's all about her. You can dress Angelica in beautiful outfits so she can compete in the fashion show. Explore the mall with her, and, on the fantasy level, ride with Angela on her magical carousel horse to rescue a trapped Cynthia.

If you want to check in on some of the other Rugrats characters, try some of the included minigames. In Chuckie's Color Match you'll help Chuckie remember the proper order of his potion's ingredients. In Cynthia's Shuffle Puzzle, you can rearrange the mixed-up puzzle pieces to reveal a picture. Best of all, with Rugrats: Totally Angelica you and your friends can trade messages--and Angelica's costumes--through the Game Boy Color's infrared port.

At first glance, Totally Angelica seems like a great game. First of all, the graphics are great, the colors in the game are vibrant and the characters are all detalied except Susie who looks like an adult instead of a 4 year old. The game consists of Angelica walking around a mall earning clothers, jewelry and make-up to go to the fashion show and then once she earns enough points from the show she moves onto the next level of the mall. The mall has 5 levels. The problem is that Angelica must go into shops to earn the prizes she needs for the fashion show. When you go into a shop you play a mini game such as card flipping, a "Simon" memory game or a puzzle shuffle. There are only six of these games and they start to get very tiring and tedious after a while. For example, the pinball maze takes about 3 1/2 minutes to complete and you might have to do the same maze over and over again three times in a row to earn the prizes you need to advance to the next level. It can take a long time to get from mall level to mall level which can be very fusturating especially for the game's target age group. And since the developers of the game decided not to include a battery back up save like in Mario Brothers Deluxe where you just can save anytime you like, you have to write down your password when you want to save your game. This is the BIGGEST problem of the game. The password can be over 25 letters, symbols and numbers. To have to re-enter your password when you want to play again is very annoying. Not only is the password way too long but some letters and numbers have to have red boxes around them when you enter them. Only, sometimes the game won't let you put the red box around the letter or number in the password screen meaning the password you are given is useless. It is obvious this game was rushed to stores and was completed as fast as possible. If the developers at THQ would have added many more mini games and a battery save feature this game would have been a lot more enjoyable. Despite all of these problems, the game will still be enjoyable to whoever plays it. However, the parent or whoever has to deal with the sloppy password system will become fusturated very easily. You have to ask yourself, is it worth buying this game if the child has some fun with it even though I will become very irritated at the game's format? If you think you can handle the game's problems then it's a worth purchase. But don't be surprised when you feel like yanking that cartridge out of the system and stomping on it when you are trying to enter a password or complete "Fluffy's Pinball Maze" for the 10th time in a row because your child has become sick of playing the same game over and over in order to advance to the next level.

2.0 out of 5 stars CUTE, BUT HARD, November 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rugrats: Totally Angelica (Game Cartridge)

MY DAUGHTER (WHO IS 5) WILL BE GETTING A GAMEBOY FOR XMAS AND I DECIDED TO TRY ALL OF THE GAMES MYSELF SO I CAN SEE IF SHE WILL LIKE THEM AND IF THEY ARE TOO HARD. THIS GAME IS DEFINITLY NOT FOR 5 YEAR OLDS. THE PASSWORDS ARE WAY TO HARD AND LONG TO ENTER, EVEN FOR AN ADULT. YOU SPEND MORE TIME PUTTING IN THE PASSWORD SOMTIME THAN YOU DO PLAYING THE GAME. THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE THESE GAMES SHOULD CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF DIFFICULTY FOR A CHILD TO WRITE DOWN THE EXACT PASSWORD AND THEN INPUT IT BACK IN. THIS GAME HAS ALL TYPES OF ICONS FOR THE PASSWORD (LIKE HEARTS, SHOPPING CARTS, AND MANY OTHER PICTURE ICONS, NUMBERS & LETTERS) I COULD NOT EVEN PUT MY PASSWORD BACK IN AND I AM AN ADULT! MAYBE THE OLDER (10-12) GIRLS WOULD ENJOY THIS GAME?? IF THEY COULD FIGURE OUT THEIR PASSWORDS........

This game is very good for all ages. You can buy clothes by winning small games. You can earn points by impressing the judges at the fasion show. When you have enough points then you can go to the next level where a few new games await you. It is fun and exiting. You can mix and match several different clothes and make up. You can make Angelica pretty or ugly with WILD hairdos. Have fun with this wonderful game.
