Game
About the game: It’s
less of a “game” and more of an application that little kids can play with to
pass the time (or something like that), or almost like a digital doll.
Features:
·
Give princess a facial/spa/get rid
of her pimples
·
Put makeup on the princess
·
Dress her up with different clothes
When installing:
Must allow a Wi-Fi connection and access to photos/media/files (although I have
not experienced the app accessing personal files/photos/media). Other than
that, it’s a simple install, no real issues.
Game Play:
Very simple game-play. All you really do is drag objects like tweezers to the
character’s eyebrows, hover over them and it tweezes the eyebrows. Other things
are a back rub, massage, etc. Then you dress her up, put makeup on her and then
the “game” is over. Not a really big deal. I didn’t really like it; it was too
simple for me.
RATINGS: (Based on a 1-10 scale)
Art: 4 (I’m not big on “cartoon-y”
art, but the art was clean)
Gameplay: 3
Concept: 5 (I didn’t like it,
but some may, so I set it at average)
Fun factor: 3 (eh, not my thing)
Performance: 8 (it was slow in some parts of the game, but
mostly quick loading, etc.)
Summary:
This “game” can be
considered a “time-killer”. If you have a little girl (age 3-12-ish?) on a long
drive, just for example, this can distract the child for a little while. It’s a
very simple application. But it won’t last very long; half an hour at most.
Ups:
·
The art is very clean
·
Good for killing time
Downs:
·
Pop-up ads are slightly irritating, but
predictable, so it can be ignored fairly simply
·
Music is very repetitive, it gets very obnoxious
very fast
·
There are some areas where I can’t pick up
items, and then suddenly I can. Just weird.
