Pretty boring

this was awful
ok, 4 words: don't get this game. The controls are confusing, everytime you die, you have 2 start ALL OVER. I didn't like it.

Barbie Explorer 4 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 2 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 & computer games are very entertaining! In this game, Barbie finds out about a mysterious treasure known as the Mystic Mirror. According 2 a map, she must go 2 the mountainous Tibet, the sandy Egypt, the leafy African Jungle, & the, um, existent Babylon, 2 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, & trying not 2 bump into absent-minded animals. LOL!
Remember: 2 find out the game's controls, PLEASE go 2 the VR Training. This game comes with NO user's manual. The VR Training is basically a place where you collect the question marks 2 get demo-videos that tell you all the controls you'll need. This is the only way I know of 2 find out the controls 4 the game, so please look at it before playing. Oh, and, 2 give you a head-start here's the basics: arrow keys 2 run & space bar 2 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 4 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 2 finish.
This game is very fun 2 play, complete with large 3-D levels & 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 2 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 2 get past some parts. I'd say that it's probably too hard 4 younger kids. It's probably best 4 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 2 be worth the money. 8/10
I think this game is worth it. It's better 4 older kids due 2 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 4 the younger kids-but holds the interest of the older ones. No educational value except 4 listening & following directions-and confidence in using a computer. My 4 & 6 year old girls love it!

I love this game!
Hi,this is BARBIE LOVER & I really like this game. I finished Tibet & Egypt areas & I played African Jungle area,but on the Native Village level I am stuck. When I get 2 the door,it won't open. I try turning back & 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 4 6 years! BARBIE LOVER

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, & Barbie as the Princess & the Pauper which are fun games were you can dress up barbie & make her do all the sorts of dress up things most little girls like 2 do.
