This game was a nice introduction for my 6-year-old daughter to how adventure games are played (point, click, talk to characters, pick up items you will use later, etc...). She reached the end of the actual game after one day, and continued to "replay" some of the games over the next few weeks, but that was all. She needed a little help doing some of the games, but not much. Kids much older than this may not find this challenging enough. I wish it had taken her a lot longer to finish the game!

Also, though I find the Bratz somewhat unappealing myself, I don't see them "turning my daughter into" a bratt. As previously mentioned, that comes from poor parenting, not playing an occasional game or watching an occasional movie.

To the person below.

Do you know this from experience? Or are you just speculating? I thought the same thing when Bratz first became popular. It didn't seem like something I wanted my daughter to be into, but I sat down and watched the movie with her, and there was nothing wrong with it. It's just about some girls that are into fashion and their "adventures". This game/video will not single handedly turn your child into a "Brat". That is a result of bad parenting! I recommend the rock angelz CD, game, and movie, because there is nothing wrong with them.

Interesting...but has a long way to go

Prior to purchasing this game, I had been really excited about playing a game that was targeted towards a female audience. However, after playing it, I was somewhat disappointed. The soundtrack is perhaps the biggest plus of the game, with catchy tunes lining the entire gameplay experience. This is a game that you must devote all of your senses to in order to play it properly. It is also incredibly (and perhaps too easy to) skip the story modes. If you press any random button, you completely miss the story. This happened to me a couple of times, and when it returned to gameplay mode, I was confused. It is also very hard to pause the game. It's not possible to pause it during storymode, either...and I found this out the hard way.

The game also does not let you do too much thinking on your own. If you don't choose the right answer, the game lets you know it, and you can't go about doing a task in a variety of different ways. In other words, there's typically only one way to do all of the tasks asked of you. There are only very few instances where you actually have a choice in the matter. You can't even "freely navigate" the world of the Bratz--you have to go where the game tells you to go...otherwise, you get stuck. And both sadly and quite honestly...there's not much to explore in this game.

Most people will probably be able to finish the game in one sitting...as a rather unskilled gamer, it took me about two hours to complete the overall game. Additionally, this game does not have much in the way of replay value. One of its selling points is that you can play all of the characters, which is misleading. In actuality, you do play all of the characters, but it is done within one user name. In other words, after you switch usernames, you are playing the same exact game over again, just with the chance of increasing your old scores.

Although I did find the game entertaining while playing it, I was still quite disappointed with the experience...the "good" characters behave in a rather catty and/or airheaded way at times, and I was disturbed to see that the "bad girls" were noticeably fatter than the skinny "good girls." I wondered what this would be teaching the adolescent girls of today, especially with the extremely unhealthy pressure they're getting from the media to be very thin...

My 8 year old blew through this game in one day. This I was disappointed with because I couldn't find this game anywhere except online.. Although she is still very intersted in this game. Graphics are nothing exceptional. I don't feel it is a bad choice for girls. I think at best it is for 7 to 8 year olds.

Awful game and awful role models!

I know this is long, but bear with me, there's a lot of say.

This game deserves negative stars in every aspect. It is poorly thought-out, designed, and rendered and the product descriptions and packaging are deliberately misleading. We've gotten better games for free in a cereal box!

The description claims you can "Play as all four Bratz girls (Cloe, Jade, Sasha, and Jasmin)." Wrong. Players can choose to be one of the four at sign-in, but it makes no difference when you play. The game has only one storyline and there are NO variations. The same character goes through the same motions every time and the game predetermines every move. Players are not allowed to decide any outcome, no matter how small. When you enter a room, there is only one thing you can click, nothing else works. You can't explore, you can't look at things in detail, you can't even decide what ingredients to put in your smoothie! You have to play exactly as the game determines. When you go to find pictures, they're the same pictures in the same place every time. When you have to get paint, you have to pick the same color every time. And so on. After two, maybe three times through, your child will be bored. Mine was.

On the technical side, it's pretty dumb. The characters don't move realistically at all and their mouths don't even come close to syncing up with the dialogue. The backgrounds are dull and flat and the animation of the story bits between the tasks is in a completely different style, the characters don't even look the same!

The Bratz are very poor role models in everything from their behavior and look right down to their spelling! They only care about fashion, shopping, and boys, all conveyed in a whiney, valley-girl type tone that is annoying on the computer but truly horrifying when it comes out of your seven-year-old! And they dress like hookers. In another deliberate mislead, the cover shows the girls modestly dressed, yet in the game they all wear micro-mini skirts, cropped tops, gobs of makeup, and stilettos. Think Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, only these are supposed to be teenagers and your child will idolize them. The game incorporates many different ethnic looks, which is good; however, the politically-correct racism is readily apparent - ALL the bad guys are blonde-haired and blue-eyed.

Obviously, I am not impressed with this game. My seven-year-old wanted it because she is ready for something more challenging than the Barbie games. However, she was able to get through the whole thing in less than two hours, quicker than any Barbie game. She loves to play Princess & the Pauper partly because of the design-your-own art projects such as the cakes and stained glass windows. At the end of P&P, she is left with a feeling of pride that she has created something totally unique, something that is truly special to her. The Bratz game only resulted in frustration because she wanted to choose a pink dress and the game only allowed blue.

This was our first experience with Bratz products and believe me, it will be our last!

THIS CRAP NEEDS TO STOP!!!!!

These Bratz (funny,it's spelled with a Z yet they still say it like its spelled with an S) dolls need to stop!

These dolls are nothing more than a negative influence on your child,just think,she loves these Bratz soooo much she might decide to become a "Brat" herself,and I don't think you want that,do you?

And you most certainly would not want to buy this DVD for your child either,for if you do she may just start shouting (...)
and then listen to that rock angels CD EVERYDAY and and I don't think thats gonna help her in life.

God,I'd rather listen to an album of those crickets chirping in my lizard's cage than listen to THIS crap,please don't support Bratz,or you will regret it sooner of later...
