Critic Reviews

90	Cheat Code Central First you must consider the target audience of adolescent girls and take into consideration that they may not play as many videogames as their brothers or male classmates. That being said the game has some depth to it that is quite welcoming as it plays out like a puzzle game mixed with platforming and yes, it works.
75	GameZone A good handheld game that offers ease of play and the ability to play a friend on the mini-games after game completion. Couple this with the attractive packaging of Barbie and friends tied to a popular video, and it's sure to be a hit amongst the 6-10 year old girls.
