1.0 out of 5 stars Beware Hardware Requirements, August 28, 2004

By	Nicholas Namias "fatmanrox" (Miami Beach, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This game requires DirectX 9.0 and video card that supports 3D and 32mb (not 16 as stated above) of video RAM. I've got a Sony VAIO 2.66ghz P4 with all the latest drivers and updates. This system tests out as optimal on all sorts of web sites for evaluating your system. However, this game will not run on this system. Unless you've got a system specifically set up for gaming, I think theres a pretty good chance it won't run on your system. Don't disappoint your little girl with this software. Before buying, install the latest DirectX from the Microsoft website, then go START>Run>dxdiag, then run all the tests. If you don't pass the Direct3D 9 test, don't buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was cool for a little bit.........., March 26, 2005

A Kid's Review

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

OK, as you read you see the review with the title " I'm begging my mom for it". Well, that's me. Now that I have had it for a wile it's boring. After you complete the first 9 taskes you get no more new clothes ( shirts, pants...), fabrics, shoes, and hair styles. I find myself doing the same outfit over and over again. I realy wish i didn't beg my mom for it. Hope I helped!

4.0 out of 5 stars Some parts are boring., February 19, 2005

A Kid's Review

I think that most of this game is fun, but a few parts of it are boring.
There is a part where you pick what moves the models will do in the show. But you have to watch them walk clear around the stage and it takes a while. I either pick a small stage or just skip this. To skip it, you push the button that makes the model start walking then it turns into an X. If you push the X the model goes back to the start of the stage and you don't have to do it.
The other bad part is that you have to color the backs of the clothes! If you don't want to, just color the front then start the next outfit. When you go back to the first outfit the back will be colored exactly like the front!
The rest of the game is fun. I like to design the clothes. The first time you play it you do about 9 different shows that a lady named Cookie tells you what the theme is. When you're done you get an award and you can keep doing shows without starting over! The computer does say the theme but you don't have to do the theme after you finish the nine games and get the award. At the show they'll just say "This is the best fashion show ever!" or something like that.
I also like to choose who wears what clothes and pick their hairstyles and shoes. You can even send your clothes to barbie.com! I haven't done it yet, but I've seen clothes that people designed on barbie.com. I think I know how to do it, but I might be wrong. When you are choosing their hairstyles and shoes there is a button in the corner that says "barbie.com." That might be how you send the clothes.
I also like to see the shows, but after you have a lot you have to delete them to do more. You have to delete your clothes when you do this.
There are a few boring parts, but most of it is a fun game. I do not like Barbie anymore but I like this game. I do like the new Barbies better. But it's annoying that all the blond dolls are girly and have blue eyes and wear pink.
Even if you do not like Barbie, you might like this game.
