Game Play: On the Samsung Galaxy Tablet (first release), it plays really well. It hasn’t choked on me yet, which is really great, as I’ve had several games choke on me before. The animation is very smooth. It’s a just great game to educate people about risk factors that can affect a person’s health.

RATINGS:   Based on a 1-10 scale

     Art:   10
     Gameplay: 8
     Concept:  10
     Fun Factor: 7
     Performance:  10

Summary: This game has wonderful graphics, keeps the player’s brain going, challenging and educational. I haven’t been able to get past the first level, but it’s very fun! I’m not very fond of the time it takes to load the game, but it’s very forgivable, because the graphics and gameplay are awesome!

Ups:
-Educates people about what can affect your health and how you can prevent these risk factors in your own body
-Great artwork
-Great animation

Downs:
-Well, it’s kind of a big game to download, so it won’t work on my phone, but not really a big deal
-You can’t undo automatically upgraded things in the game

Princess Beauty Salon Game Review

Game name: Princess Beauty Salon

Platform(s): Android

Device(s) tested on:  (Samsung Galaxy)

Genre:  Dress-up

Creator(s): TNN 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.
