Barbie Fashion Show: an Eye for Style Review


This game allows the child to select outfits, color them and add designs, pick models, hair, shoes, etc., then set up the runway colors, decor, and background music, and finally view the fashion show taking six pictures per each show.

Barbie talks you through the entire process. One drawback is that Barbie uses the same phrases frequently, e.g., "I couldn't have done that better myself." Or "Great choice." But it's all positive and constructive. To a child I don't think it appears/sounds as redundant as it does to me.

My opinion is that the game is very appropriate for a five year old, but I also saw an eight year old girl who had the game and seemed to have an appreciation for it.

This is a game your child can do on her own; you won't need to sit next to her giving blow by blow instructions. However, keep in mind that each child is unique, and this may not apply to every single child. My guess is that my comments would apply to "most children".

This game goes well with the DSi recently purchased for my child: Nintendo DSi - White.Get more detail about Barbie Fashion Show: an Eye for Style.
