  • Summary: Make your own Build-A-Bear, dress it up, play with it in lots of funny activities and mini games! The Bear will be like a virtual extension of yourself and a personal companion you can love like a best friend. You must make sure you satisfy its daily needs as physical affection, fun, food, learning, social life and trendyness are all necessary elements for the Bear to be balanced and happy. A highly interactive and trans-generational game in the true Build-A-Bear spirit. Create and customise your very own Bear in the Workshop-part of the game. Here you get to pick out the Bear you want, choose a motto, stuff it, insert its special heart and whisper a secret into its ear. Next you stitch it together, fluff it, name it, dress it and take it home to its special house that you get to colour for it. There are 8 different Bear characters you can customise: Dimples Teddy, Mocha Bunny, Pink Poodle, Playfull Puppy, Velvet Teddy, Friendly Frog, Marvelous Monkey, Sassy Kitty. Build-A-Bear for Nintendo DS is a new, fun kind of relationship simulation game, which takes into account the Bear's evolution as much as the players' fun factor. The Build-A-Bear characters, graphical universe and lifestyles are respectfully adapted and enhanced by this new addition: the Virtual Bear, an extension of every Build-A-Bear fan around the world.

    Another fantastic offering from the Game Factory and one that parents won't want to miss. Be it for a girl or boy, the title has something to offer everyone and doesn't get old as quickly as most games geared for the juvenile set. There is always something to unlock or something to do with your furry friend.

    The first downfall of Build-a-Bear Workshop is that there's no spoken instructions.

    While the easiness of the mini-games and the theme may be more geared towards younger gamers, Build-A-Bear is a surprisingly fun virtual pet game that will appeal to the six and under demographic.

    Build-A-Bear is a fantastic idea, but that idea best left in the real world. This virtual version of it is a wasted effort.

    This is the best game for kids to play. The people who don't like this game are idiots. This game has even more better things than the store. You will love this game and if you don't you're a idiot. Got it?!… Expand
