SWEET!!!!!!!!

This game is just adorable! You can choose to adopt a baby girl or boy (features are different according to which you choose). Not only can you select the shape of your baby's nose, eyes, and stomach (chubby or skinny) , but you can also pick the skin, hair and eye color. There is quite the variety of skin tones from extremely light to very dark. The eye color selection is great as well- everything from blue to brown to a very distinct lavender! Various hairstyles and hair colors are available throughout the entire game. The graphics aren't 100% perfect on your simulated baby, but the cuteness factor of this game more than makes up for it.

Not to mention, there are many clothes and items to buy for your baby! Everything from "Anne Geddes-style" baby costumes (flower, teddy bear,...) to even a pirate costume to name a few. The diapers come in different varieties-ie. Plain white, floral, duck, and leopard print. Of course you can purchase more typical clothes-onesies, dresses, pants, overalls, and more. Many toys can be purchased for your baby too. There are balls, stuffed animals, and dolls.

Because this is a baby simulation type game, the game consists of cooking, feeding, bathing, playing, and teaching your baby. Younger game players below the age of about seven might need some help learning how to care for and play with their baby. There is a little reading involved (in the form of brief instructions on how to play some parts of the game). I'm sure once you showed your child how to complete the tasks a couple of times (will not take a lot of your time), that your child will be able to complete the majority of the tasks on their own. The instructions booklet is very thorough, but not overly detailed in case you need more directions. Interacting with your baby is fun, and you get to earn money that way too!

Your baby will age (still a baby though) in this game, but it never "ends." As the game progresses, there are more items added, the games get slightly more difficult, and the meal preparation more complex. A young gamer will still be able to enjoy and play at this level with only a bit of assistance.

Overall, I gave this game 5 stars. It is adorable, fun, and entertaining. My niece (age 9) loves this game. She gave it a 4.5 rating, and this game is #1 on her "Toys To Buy List."

Slightly better than the Imagine Babyz

Slightly better than Imagine Babyz. The graphics, (which are in a way the heart and soul of any video game) were too ambitious for the DS screen as they tried to make them as humanly realistic as possible but they didn't quite succeed in terms of keeping the pixels as straight as possible.

You adopt a baby, your choice of boy or girl. You also create the baby by choosing the eyes and skin color, shape of the belly, eyes and head and finally name him or her.
Tasks are similar to those of Imagine Babyz but the are more realistic especially the cooking session as the baby grows new more complicated recipes appear and your child does eat more. Unlike "Imagine" you can teach your baby colors, how to crawl and then walk and talking.
As the game progress you unlock clothes, costumes, toys and accesories, many tacky or hiedously designed. Again the graphics seem not to hold altogether. You play, feed, change, bathe, put to sleep your baby. The sounds and movements of the infants are as realistic as they can be which makes for the most entertaining part of the game, hearing the child laugh or blow you kisses and cry.
Again like it counterpart you play the entire game by using nothing but the stylus, but you do not have to push the screen to acomplish the tasks given. Several differnt babies can be played with just one game cartridge.Beware that most task do have a time limit marked by a red oval on the lower screen. If the player fails is starting all over again, but is an easy game.

Though aimed at female gamers, I wouldn't mind if my sons or nephews played it to teach them a little about how to care for another life, despite of the grainy graphics is a good simulation game.

Cute game

This is a very cute game. You start off by picking your gender you want your baby to be, and then what you want your baby to look like, choose eye color, eye shape, make him/her chubby or skinny, choose nose shape, and then you name your baby.

You can change your baby's diaper, give it a bath, feed it, put it to sleep, play with it, and even teach your baby how to walk, crawl, teach them body parts, shapes, sounds, and colors. You also can prepare your own food for you baby, as they get older the recipes get longer and more complex. You can also purchase new hair styles for your baby as they get older there are more options. Same thing with the clothes and toys, when your baby gets older you unlock more toys and clothes. There is also a place where you can dress your baby and when you play with your baby you can play with the toys you purchased.

The problem is, after you teach your baby how to walk, that is the last thing you teach it and then your baby doesn't grow anymore, you can't look forward to teaching the baby new things and making different foods, unlocking clothes, etc. then you are left with a baby who needs to eat, sleep, be cleaned, and played with, and it gets boring and rather tiring after awhile. I have to say I was a bit dissapointed when I got more into the game. Which is the reason I am only giving it four stars. It is a very cute game while it stil lasts, but is pretty short.

So Cute

So much better than Imagine Babyz. I bought two imagine babyz for Christmas presents and they had glitches. But Baby pals is so adorable my granddaughter can't seem to put it down and neither can I. We love it.

Pretty fun

This game was very fun. I am still playing it but I think people should know more about it.When u start u chose the gender, skinny or fat, blue eyes, or black, the color of the skin, and the size of its nose. I found this very fun desiding what it looked like. With your baby you can do a whole bunch of stuff such as feed, change diaper,wash, play and dress.
At first I thought that this was really cool. I mean it was a cute easy baby game all that I have been wanting. But soon it started to become a habit and it wasnt that much fun.I also found it frustrating that you had to cook 3 foods for stage three. It was fun and sad that i reached the end of the game. It doesnt end but your baby doesnt grow and you cant teach it any more. It was a bit sad but over all the game was good. There are many surprises. So I think It deserves 4 stars

This game is cute!

This game is cute, but it gets a little boring after a while. You can buy clothes and hair styles for the baby depending on how old it is. The oldest it can get is 14 months old then you just continue to take care of it at that age. When it is 14 months old it is the hardest to take care of it because the mini games you have to play to take care of it get harder and harder. I think overall it is a pretty good game.

not exactly a review

To tell the truth I have never played this game before. But it sounds awesome. This isnt a review but it is probably better. If u are havig trouble with this game at all or if u dont know alot about it and think its not enough go to the main website. It is called cravegames.com then type in baby pals. I learned alot about reading the manual on there. It helped me alot and i am getting the game. thanks 4 listening and i hope u have found this review helpful.

Fun... But be warned

This is a good game but it might not be what you're looking for. It just isn't quite what they addvertise. I like it but it's easy to get bored w/ just 1 baby. I was glad to see that you could make multiple ones. (Have 3 right now. I'm not sure how many you can get) I was hoping for a way to connect w/ other players. (You know like a "playdate" mode) and I was also hoping for more ways to play with your baby.

why brown?

This was very useful to me! Whenever my kids misbehaved, I'd say "Settle down or you each get twenty minutes of baby pals!" Wiping the baby's dirty virtual behind and poop, staring at a creepy little unusual, nude virtual human, and endless minutes of saying "Peek A Boo!" Into the DS mike is the last thing on their fun list. Even though my kids hate it and have a horrible time with it, I'd rate it a 5 in overall in its useful torturous punishment to scare young children into behaving and a 5 in fun for me because with a miserable threat of baby pals the kids won't argue with the babysitter and let me have some personal time. But because my kids hate the actual game and I only love it's great discipline method, I am forced to rate it the lowest rating possible. My kids may hate this game, but I think it's the best thing that's ever happened to me! Thanks, Baby Pals!
