Barbie Fashion Show (PC, 2008)

I bought this for my six year old granddaughter and she absolutely loves it. She plays it more than any of her other Barbie games. I don't mind taking a turn at it myself. As you progress thru your assignments more fashions become available. The only thing I wish is that the company offered updates with new fashions to download. However, even if you begin to get tired of the fashions offered, the game still doesn't lose its interest, as you're only limited by the extent of your own creativity. First you choose your fashion style, then your fabric and embellishments. After this is completed you choose shoes to go with the outfit, a model, and a hairstyle and color. Once this is done you choose from a variety of stages, runways, props, and lighting. Then your model is ready for a practice run in which you select her moves at each point marked with an x on the runway. After this is completed for all your models, you begin your fashion show, during which you can snap pictures. All in all it's a very entertaining game. If we were entertained with paper dolls just imagine in a child's mind how awesome this must be when it all comes to life. I think most girls would enjoy this game if they like Barbies and fashion.

Besides the actual stage walk, this game allows you to pick clothes after you design them from scratch. Also, you can take pictures of the model you also designed. There are several background to choose from for your model.
Over all, a fun game for girls!

This was purchased for my granddaughter who is nine. She enjoys the Barbie series PC games because they allow her to design clothes, furniture, and other settings within the game. She has six or seven of these types of games and really enjoys working through the different challenges. The games have no objectional parts and I feel comfortable allowing her to play them.

If you love fashion and love barbie and even grew up with barbie you will love to play this game.The graphics are great and fun to watch you can create your own fashion have a fashion show and take pictures and even print then out or send them to friends.I give this game between 11-12 on the scale.

I decided to buy my 3 year old daughter a Pixter for her birthday. Consequently, I needed "girl" software because the only other Pixter software in the house belonged to my son. As a Barbie buff myself, I don't know who has had more fun with it.

I am so glad that I bought this software. Maybe there's hope for my little tomboy yet!
