Customer Reviews
An epic failure when compared to the original Barbie Fashion Show.
The premise of this game is
to complete fashion assignments by designing fashions that follow a
certain theme, choose models, and put on a fashion show where you choose
poses, decorate the stage, etc., just like the original Barbie Fashion
Show.
However, this doesn't come close to being as good as the
original Barbie Fashion Show game Barbie Fashion Show. The first thing I
noticed, is that it is so similar to the original that it completely
lacks originality as a sequel. For example it follows much the same
format and uses all the same themes for the fashion shows as the first
one did. Although the clothing patterns and fabric patterns are somewhat
different, and in two of the shows you get to design outfits for guys,
those are the only real differences.
It is apparent that less
attention was paid to detail when designing this version. For example:
The solid color fabrics are completely flat, while in the original they
all had nice fabric textures. Many of the patterned fabrics had patterns
so large that they didn't look right on most of the clothing pieces, in
fact they seem very bright and clown-like. Also, the decal stamps were
all large and there were fewer of them. The models on the model board
are carbon copies of each other only with different hair color and skin
tones. You are not given different fabric when designing fashions for
the men, so you are required to use the same girly fabric on their
clothes too. The men also use the same feminine poses on the runway. I
found it nearly impossible to make an outfit that didn't look
ridiculous. The choices for bridal gowns were especially horrific.
In
addition to the afformentioned shortcomings, all the models and fashion
show stages are covered in triangular shadows. This may be a graphics
glitch specific to my machine, but I double-checked and I have the
latest graphics drivers and meet all the recommended system specs. An
e-mail to Activision Customer Support to address this issue has yet to
illicit a response from them. At this point it is hard to tell if others
will be affected by this issue or not.
For examples of what I am
referring to in this review, please see the customer photos that I have
uploaded at the top of this page.
The bottom line is this: If
you have the original Barbie Fashion Show, this one will disapoint you.
If you are undecided bewteen the two, get the original and steer clear
of this one.
This is a poor quality product and may just be a
blatant attempt by Activision to capitalize on the success of the
original Barbie Fashion Show without having to expend much time or
effort. It shows.
Fun Game
This game has very poor
graphics. There are square shapes all over the model's bodies. My
daughter still loves it;she is 5 1/2. We just got it yesterday and she
has played it for a few hours each day. She also has Barbie Horse
Adventures and I really like that one a lot. The graphics are much
better and there are little goals to meet. I would recommend that one
first and the model one second.
Can not
touch original
This game can not begin to
touch the original. My 6 year old immediately noticed that the themes
are the same and the quality of the program is poor. It takes the models
forever to walk the runway. We got the original for Christmas 2007 and
my daughter could not get enough, when she completed the game she even
designed outfits for her friends. It has not even been a full week since
she received Eye for Style and she is already disinterested.
