I put stock in focus groups, developers, and experience.

Mortal Kombat has proven that it doesn't take a good game to get critical acclaim from many sources including the media and a few kids down the street who value goofy animation over substance. There's no accounting for individual tastes...

But for general impressions, it's probably a good idea to at least consider the impressions of focus groups and professional developers who have years of experience catering to the same demographic. It's not just marketing witchcraft and catchphrase mumbo-jumbo, it's something that a handful of us have earned multiple college degrees to better understand. Many focus groups of all demographics have been recorded, at great expense for some smaller developers, to get accurate impressions of the audience. Yes, there are no 6-year old female electronic entertainment developers in the field, but many of use take great measures to empathize with the needs and desired of our audience as best as possible.

If you can appreciate dated graphics, a shallow interface, a plotline and premise that can be summarized in about 5 words, and repetitive gameplay (and that's completely acceptable, particularly for those who rent games, play game infrequently, or have limited exposure to games, which is actually a rare thing for this current generation male or female) by all means follow your heart.

Still, from the standpoint of many professional (though obviously not perfect for everyone) reviewers who have the good of the consumer in mind... it would be unfair to the majority, who might expect more from games they purchase, if these points weren't made before they invested.

Perhaps rent this game, play it for a weekend (IMHO there's about 6 hours of gameplay in here before it becomes old to even the most open mind) and see if it's worth buying.

EWWWW BADDD YUCKKK

When will Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen realize that they can't act, or make video games anymore! Theese bad actresses make bad video games too. This video game has horrible graphics and MK and Ashley's voices sound fake, come on MK and A Olsen, give us something worthwhile for ONCE in your lives....

This game shows that the Olsen's can either be really cool, or really stupid. I got this game a while ago, and have ever since hated the thing. It is sooooooo boring! The graphics are not that great, the stuff you hafta do is mostly meaningless and stupid, and it is a waste of money. If you wanna get a good gmae, do not, i repeat, do not, get this piece of junk. Get Razor scooter freestyle, it is really awesome.

I Expected It To Be Better

I thought this game would be better than it was. The back made it sound soooo cool. The concept is cool but the actual game isn't.

There's one level where you snowboard. You go sooooo slow, it was tooo easy.

There's another one where you have to chase these boys and try to get a picture of them with you in it. That was boring and one shot was too hard to get.

The fashion show was actaully fun, it gives you lots of choices of cool clothing to dress the twins in and then you get to take pictures of them during a fashion show.

There's a food one where you work at a resterant and have all these customers coming up to you with their orders. You have to skate around and get them their order. This one really hurt my fingers (from pushing all the buttons) and went on for too long.

Lastly, I thought it would be soooo much fun to make my own dance video but it was not. It gives you a bunch of moves to choose from and you have to pick like ten. Then when you're actually shooting the video you have to do the effects but all it really is, is pushing the same button over and over. The video is impossible to get the jewl for, I don't know what they're looking for.

Overall I'd definently recommend renting this game before you buy it, who knows, you might even like it but the chances are you won't. I think all the other reviews on this page are from big Mary Kate and Ashley fans who don't want to admit that this game sucks.

This game is fun, but can get frusterating. definetly not one of my favorite games. I think some of the stuff is very hard to complete and eventually give up. I only spent about 20 minutes before I turned it off. the graphics are ok, the sounds are cool

OK

This game is exciting for the first ten minutes. I cleared it in 2 hours. The games were too similar but the graphics were good and it is an enjoyable concept for the under 10 age group (if they are fans)!

There are five stores in the mall. You get the gem from each store (by completing a task) to break the curse. Once you get all five gems, your done. There are no bonus levels. As you collect gems the other stores of the mall open up. Too bad you can't go into them. There is an information desk in case you need help and a Bonus Boutique where you can spin the wheel to either win or lose somthing. You can win things like bonus dance moves and stuff, to make another music video if you want. Lizie's Lunch (a diner in mall) is my least favorite "level" you have a certain amount af time to serve everyone thier lunch. At the fashion show you can pick from a wide variety of clothing items to dress either Mary-Kate or Ashley in, and then you take pictures at the fashion show. Its not a bad game, but there are many things that could be done to improve it. It is probably better for renting. It gets old fast.

It's ok

It's definately not a 4 star game but if you have little girls who worship the ground that Mary-Kate and Ashley walk on then you might want to consider this game. But I would recommend shopping around for a good price.

My daughter wanted this game so desperately this past Christmas so "Santa" got it for her. It wasn't what she expected and she got bored with it pretty easily. It did not hold her interest at all. She's had a few friends play it as well and they got bored with it pretty quickly. It's not for everyone and you may want to consider renting before you buy to see if your child actually likes the game so you don't plunk down wasted money.
