"Lots of fun for my 8 year old"
Pros: She loves to play this Bratz game, she can set it up herself, it entertains her for hours on end, she loves to show off her "Magazine Covers," clothes and accessories she put together, and text messages from friends. It's also very compact, she can take it to Grandma and Grandpa's house on the weekends.

Cons: It takes 4 "AA" batteries for the base, another 2 "AAA" for the remote. If she forgets to turn it off, it's a huge waste of batteries. The only way to go are rechargeables. They need to have a plug for it.

"Bratz Life plug & play"
This toy should have an age rating of teenager or OLDER on it. I KNOW that the Bratz are a little trashy looking, and not suitable for younger children but honestly this game is bad. I let my 7yr girl have "some" bratz. (Kidz are not that trashy) While playing this game my daughter learned that in order to "make friends" on the game you need to answer some questions asked by another characters, the way they want you to answer them, not by what you really feel or like. If you don't have much in common (answer the questions your way) they will choose to "not be your friend" and what makes this worse- YOU ARE GRADED ON YOUR POPULARITY!!! They ask you questions like "what kind of boys do you like?" I thought this game had an age of 8+ on it!!! On our daily planner one day, we were told to -"Go to the Mall today and flash your smile (flirt) at a boy (whom we don't know, STRANGER!!!) who has the tickets to Fashion Blitz" This is teaching our young girls to 1) go flirt with a stranger and 2) use people or flirt with a guy to get something they want. WHAT IS WRONGE WITH THIS PICTURE???
Last but not least ALL you do in the game, besides flirting with strangers and desperately trying to get someone to be your friend by saying things that they want to hear, all you do is dress your character and other Bratz characters OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Hey I like shopping and going to the salon as much as anyone, but really how many times can you change shoes and hair? When you run out of money to buy new clothing you do NOT even get a chance to earn more, UNLESS you are innvited to a Fashion show and you win prize money. You will not be invited to shows though UNLESS YOU MAKE FRIENDS AND ARE POPULAR.
PARENTS OF YOUNG GIRLS WITH VALUES **** BEWARE******

"I'd agree"
Like many others; I struggle to make sure my children had a good Christmas. I purchased this product with cash and my daughter actually loved it, and wanted me to rate it a 5. Unfortunately it only worked for exactly five days.
She's pretty disappointed, and wants another. My disappointment is with any company that would sell something for children that mediocre for the price they're charging. Merry Christmas MGA!

"Boring Toy!"
I bought this item for my daughter this Christmas, and she does not like this toy. It is hard to navigate to pages, and it is not very good at interacting. You must read each screen to know what to do to get to the next area. All you can really do with this game is put clothes on the bratz. The visual quality is really bad. I would compare this game to paintshop on Windows 95! Don't waste your money on this item!
