What our customer's say!
"Pretty boring", I have played a lot of other Barbie games and so I got this one since it had some good reviews. I found this game pretty boring and very easy though I think I'm a bit older than the age it is supposed to be geared for. My younger sister who is the right age did not find the game interesting but she has liked other barbie games such as Barbie diaries: High School Mystery, and Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper which are fun games were you can dress up barbie and make her do all the sorts of dress up things most little girls like to do.
"this was awful", ok, 4 words: don't get this game. The controls are confusing, everytime you die, you have to start ALL OVER. I didn't like it.
"Barbie Explorer for PC", Hi, I'm StoryMaker. My older sister, Russian Blue Witch, gave me Barbie Explorer (for PC, a.k.a. computer) on Christmas. I started playing it today. OK, I've only started it, so it's a little early to review it...but hey, I love reviewing SO much, I guess I couldn't help it.
First of all, I'm not a really big fan of Barbie, but the Barbie movies and computer games are very entertaining! In this game, Barbie finds out about a mysterious treasure known as the Mystic Mirror. According to a map, she must go to the mountainous Tibet, the sandy Egypt, the leafy African Jungle, and the, um, existent Babylon, to find the pieces. (With specific country, continent, etc. names, it's almost educational!) The back of the box says there's 4 levels, but actually, it's more like 4 environments with 4 levels each. Go through the levels, collecting treasure, getting past caverns, and trying not to bump into absent-minded animals. LOL!
Remember: to find out the game's controls, PLEASE go to the VR Training. This game comes with NO user's manual. The VR Training is basically a place where you collect the question marks to get demo-videos that tell you all the controls you'll need. This is the only way I know of to find out the controls for the game, so please look at it before playing. Oh, and, to give you a head-start here's the basics: arrow keys to run & space bar to jump. VR Training will tell you the rest.
It would be better if you typed in your name instead of selecting the letters using arrow keys/enter, but heck, it's also for the PlayStation, so it could be expected. I also would be much happier if you could save any time or it automatically saved. You can only save every time you finish a level, so if you forget...you've got another level to finish.
This game is very fun to play, complete with large 3-D levels and all different types of obstacles & goodies. The main problem with the gameplay is that some areas require very good timing & speed, even on the Easy level (the one I'm on). You start off with 40 lives in each level, but it's still VERY hard to do some of those things. My older sister Russian Blue Witch is great at video games, but sometimes, she ended up draining my lives trying to get past some parts. I'd say that it's probably too hard for younger kids. It's probably best for ages 7 & up.
Graphics: Not perfect, but pretty good. 7/10 Gameplay: Very fun, but a little hard. 7/10 Storyline: Far from super, but could be PLENTY worse. 6/10 Overall: It's no-doubt fun enough to be worth the money. 8/10
I think this game is worth it. It's better for older kids due to challenging parts, but nonetheless, it is a VERY fun game. Check out other Barbie software! Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
"Great Fun!", Lot's of easy verbal instructions for the younger kids-but holds the interest of the older ones. No educational value except for listening and following directions-and confidence in using a computer. My 4 and 6 year old girls love it!
"I love this game!", Hi,this is BARBIE LOVER and I really like this game. I finished Tibet and Egypt areas and I played African Jungle area,but on the Native Village level I am stuck. When I get to the door,it won't open. I try turning back and tracing my steps,but I soon die. :-( Could anybody help me? anyway,the graphics are good,the sound is great,and I have had lots of fun playing this game! Please vote on my review! PS I haven't finished the game,but I heard from a reviewer that at the end it says "to be continued". I wish Mattel would make a sequel,they haven't for 6 years!

"fun", i got this game 1 month ago and its fun but not that much! you can go in rivers and in ancient romes and even in snow storms! my favorite game is when you have to avoid the bolders coming at you and you have to hide in little rooms! ITS HARD. this is a worth it game and has many actions to it as in jumping and pulling pushing walking and running or even swinging!its get boring after but you get used it because it hooks you intrest untill you finish it! please dont buy it if you have a child over 11 because they will lose intrest in 3 days and its too hard for kids under 4 because of all the action so think before you buy
"Ridiculously hard in places", My daughter could NEVER finish this without help. She loved much of it, but even on easy, I can barely get her through the tough spots and I'm a lifelong gamer, who often wins games online. Not too much brain in the puzzles, just timing and jumping. Just about impossible. I'd like to hear from someone who actually finished the whole thing. Further, the software is not written all that well. I tried to pass a couple tough spots by mashing three buttons at the same time, (left-straight and jump, for example to jump diagonally) the game seems to get confused. Also, other times you seem to have made a jump and you fall anyway, and sometimes jump doesn't jump when you really need it to. The best part? When you DO die, which is often, you go all the way back to the insipid start. The annoying part is, this could have been pretty good.
"fantastic", My 5 yr old son loved this game. It has been an amazing experience and although at times quite testing, there are help pages that you can print out. Incredible graphics and captivating levels set in Egypt, Tibet, Africa and at the end, Babylon. I bought it to whet my 4 yr old daughter's computer appetite but even though she enjoys watching her brother play it, she is not interested in all the manipulation herself. You won't be disappointed with this one. Top quality product.
"impossible", This is the WORST GAME EVER. (...)i couldn,t even make it through the first level of this "ages 6 and up" game. There was this thing called virtual training at the beggining,and it was really fun,but once you started the real thing,it was impossible. In the real thing,there were all kinds of new obstacles,like animals.Plus,you had to remember the different key combinations for running and jumping (ect.),and you had to jump at exactly the right time.there are only two good things i can say about this,virtual training,and it works on windows XP.Don't make the mistake i did in buying this game.
