i have lots of barbie stuff, even games but I never liked the games very much until now. This one is really cool. you play Barby and you can talk to everyone and its really really funny. i like changing Barby's clothes. Also you can play lots of little games like fixing the music. The story is really good and funny. I didn't know at first who was causing problems for Barbie's band. her friends Tia and Courtney are really cool and Keviin is super cute. He helps Barbie film everything. Barby is pretty and super smart. She can be funny and silly too. She makes the mean girl (Raygun?) look dumb at the end. This game made me think a lot and I learnt a lot. I played it 2 times and I will play it again.

Surprisingly good!

I'm not the kind of mom who normally invites Barbie into her home. This time I didn't have a choice -- my daughter got this as a birthday present from a beloved aunt and we had to play. I must say, though, I didn't mind what I saw and I think I had almost as much fun playing as my 8 yr. old. Barbie is actually a reasonable high school girl who can be funny and goofy at times. She wears t-shirts and jeans and is as interested in schoolwork as in fashion. My one complaint is that the game is a little slow to take off, but once it gets going, the mystery is fun to solve.

Good thing I was there because a couple of the puzzle games stumped my daughter at least initially, but she was grabbing the mouse back from my once I showed her the way. She loved the computer tracing one and the necklace one.

I'm a discriminating mom who believes strongly in providing good role models to her daughter. This Barbie passes the test. Now its time for my daughter to go outside and enoy the sun.

Granddaughter's delight!!!!

I love this game. The mystery is easy to solve and it took me only a day to solve it, but everything is super fun. But as for the product features on the product page, they are pretty much all false. The high school only has about eleven rooms. And you don't get to experience a food fight, a soccer game or gymnastics practice. But other than that, do get this game. It is extremly fun and i would give six stars if I could, so please get this game!!

Too easy!

My 12 year old and 8 year old daughters loved this game. They've both played it twice in one day and really had fun. My complaint is that I spent $30 on it and it took them each about an hour to play the whole game. It's not worth the money.

I liked it but.........

I agree with many other reviewers. The game was awsome with fun but I was a little mad when I was able to finish the game within two hours! I am 13, and me and my sister like the barbie movies and some of the games,we thought it had to be good because we split the price to buy it because it was $30.00 and we thought it must be good if it costed that much. I was fun but if you want a good mystery game try Nancy Drew games, they are much more fun and try Secret Agent Barbie. It is more complex. All in all, either spend your money on Secret Agent,Nancy Drew,another Barbie game, or don't bother buying anything at all.

good game for very yong kids

This game is great for young kids. My 6-year old loves this game (after I helped her get through it the first time.) The graphics are a little fake looking (I am surprised at Activision's lack of finesse in this area). However, I must say again the game is fun and at times challenging enough to want to play it multiple times.

Might be nice-if it actually worked

Despite meticulously loading the game we had error messages from the beginning followed by erratic play.

Tried to contact Activision customer support and got-----nowhere. They have no phone contact, just a slow and plodding email system that blames everything but the game.

Save your aggravation and get something else. Better yet, get a Mac next time as I intend to do and avoid Windows nonsense all together.

My Daughter loves this game!

My daughter just turned 8 and loves this game. In fact, I caught her sneaking on the computer after her bedtime to play it.

not worth the money

First, remove the word "mystery" from the title. I played this with my [...] daughter and we completed the entire game in 90 minutes. The clues are more like facts that Barbie shares rather than things the player finds. There is little reasoning or thought required by the player, and there is no way to deduce the culprit without hearing the culprit's backstory at the end of the game. Maybe suitable for 6 - 8 year old.
