REAL GAMES - BARBIE SUPER MODEL

I've done cartoon licensed, comic licensed, and movie licensed games...and now, my first ever toy licensed game.

Barbie.  Seriously?  Fine.  Barbie Super Model is a game based entirely on the popular doll for girls, or boys that are a little light in the loafers, if you know what I mean.  I have no clue what kind of game this is.  I can not categorize it as any type of genre I have ever played before.  It's listed as an educational game, but I didn't learn shit.

I've got some bad news to tell you...it's about your son.  He likes to play with Barbie dolls.

I'm not really sure what is supposed to be going on.  From what I gathered, the story for this game is just Barbie dreaming about stuff.  Stupid and uneventful stuff.

Controls are straight forward.  You have a button to speed up and a button to slow down for the actual stages.  Then you can use all of the buttons to change the color of clothes or makeup for the mini games.

Audio isn't too bad.  The songs are looped, but the stages are short, so it's tolerable.

Graphically this game is kind of good.  The sprites of Barbie are god awful, but the backgrounds look okay.  During the mini games, Barbie looks a lot better as she is trying on different outfits or makeup.  And the further this review goes, the less manly I feel.  I need to go open jars or fix some cars.

After this review, I'm going to wrestle some bears.  Cause I'm a man.

Gameplay wise, this game is actually hard.  I'm not sure what the minimum score that is required to win is, but it took me a few tries to actually beat the game.  This minigames are all about memorizing a picture that is shown to you for 3 seconds, and then reproducing it.  The main game is about avoiding obstacles while grabbing stars.  You have to master both of these if you ever want to see the ending.  Or, you could just watch the video at the end of the review.

So, what's the verdict?  Well, from a gamer's perspective, it's pretty lame.  But I'm not who this game was intended for.  So, what does my daughter have to say about Barbie Super Model?  "This game is shitty."  I had to scold her for cursing (she's only 9), but I do value her judgment.  Therefore, I'm giving it 1 falling Barbie out of 5.

Seriously?  I played through this game multiple times just to see that?

I laughed as soon as I read the title. You know, no one would think less of you if you skipped one every once and a while.

I liked playing with barbie dolls when I was a little boy. I loved to rub the lumps on their chest. I didn't know what I liked them... I still don't... I just did.

You must have nightmares doing this kind of thing. At any rate its bad if thats the comment your daughter gives =P Maybe you should label the game as rated M instead. "Chance to teach your kids to use bad language over poor game quality"

Holy fuck I think I actually played this once before when i was little. :o

Babysitter's place when I was about 8-10. Limited amount of games, kids there got bored and so we tried all the different games. Just oh man was it funny how we all tried to get far in this, just so we could say we beat it)

If this is the game I am thinking of, it has barbie walking in a snow place, a mall, and maybe even riding a bike, right? if not, there's another barbie game out there. :X

Surprisingly it's done better than the last two games though.
