1 stars (not gnna say anything!!) - ew! you should know what that means!!!! yes this game sucks to the great beyond. dont buy it 1 stars (DETECTIVE BARBIE) - Game plays fine for about 5 - 10 minutes then freezes. Have to reboot computer. Will send game back. 1 stars (Not compatible with Windows XP) - This game is tedious at best. The movement arrows are slow and frustrating. Instead of allowing the child to put in his or her own name, there is a menu to choose from: neither of my granddaughters' names were on the list. And most important -- this game is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS XP. It isn't readily apparent until you try to go into the garden or through secret passageways and knock out your computer. ...

5 stars (THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!) - i love this game. you get soooo many gadgets like a robot dog lipstick to shoot. its so fabulouse the best barbie detective game. the main point is your barbie and you have to see who stole the fashions(long story)you get choose a style for each mission and the color because sometimes you have to blend with the bushes or the dark sky!!!! so many activities, gadgets, sneaking around, and talking to your so called friends because anybody can be suspect. GO!!!! get it now dont waist golden seconds when you could be solving a mystery.(did i mention buy it!!!) 4 stars (it was fun) - I had it when I was younger and I was hooked! But I didn't like that there is the same bad guy. It was VERY hard at first so you HAVE to let them teach you everything in that weird room(sorry, i forgot what it was called). I think that it would be for ages 3 1/2 - 8 . Hope i helped!!! :P lol ... Vivendi Universal :: Kids (Children) :: Computer software (programs) :: :: Secret Agent Barbie (Jewel Case)
4 stars (Could be better) - This game could be better.when i got it for Christmas i played it with my step sister and cousin, and i'll say we finished it in about 20 to 30 minutes.THE WHOLE GAME!!!its fun,but isnt very long,thats why i gave it 4 stars. 3 stars (Blah) - For $20 I thought this would be something a bit more. The "adventure" is a bit boring and doesn't change much each time you play it. The navigation is quite poor compared to other games. Plus there's quite a bit of stutter on some of the vocals (I run a fairly fast machine with 768MB of RAM so I know it's not that). All in all, three stars may be a bit much, but my daughter likes it and I guess that's all that counts. 4 stars (Great For Younger Girls) - For young girls (6-10) just starting with an interest in "Mystery" games, this would be fun and entertaining. Small challenges - not too difficult, but skill-building for younger - make this interesting, but are too easy for more advanced game players. The graphics are okay, even though a bit stiff and cartoonish. Horse-loving girls will enjoy "selecting" their mount (including coat and mane color) and the opportunity to groom, feed and ride. You also get to choose Barbie's outfit and the style/color of your saddle and bridle. My main criticism is that the game time was too short, but for beginners or younger children, this could actually be a plus. ...

4 stars (Good game for little girls) - When I first started it was way easy, but I still like it. My favorite part is when we can dress her, do hair, make-up and nails. I love to watch the movie at the end that shows how they look. I am 5 and I have plaved this game a lot! (typed by Mom) 3 stars (My daughter loves it) - My daughter, like many, is infacutated with everything Barbie, She was 3 when I bought this for her and she played it for hours. I was amazed at how many times she would change an outfit, and slightly horrified at her make-up choices. Artistically, this is a great game. My daughter loved being able to create a look for her Barbie, and I got a kick out of seeing what she would come up with. First, you choose an event. It could be a birthday party, a movie premiere, a first date etc... and then you basically cycle through 4 boutiques: Hair, Nails, Clothing, and Make-up. Once you finish those you get a short replay of your makeover and then watched a short animation of your finished character participating in whatever event you chose. I think I would have appreciated it more if it gave you more options for the hair. It's inconsequestial fun, but fun nonetheless...definitely for the girly girl. 2 stars (um......................) - i like this game. it it is not corny or cheesy.but sill look at the chart: good things: shop duhh put on makeup lots of stores the zine(it is the best part!) bad things: you can't buy shoes they walk show you can't chose anything the jobs are borrrring! that is all. over and out, kia. ps.at least it is better than Bratz(they are brats.) ...

2 stars (hard to figure out...) - I bought this game for my 5 yr old and thought that it was very hard to get to the next level. If you are thinking of buying this for your child, please think twice. The graphics are very nice and the game is in a nice setting. Just to hard to figure out for your typical Barbie lover! 3 stars (Good game - has glitches) - My 7 year old daughter played this game for 3 hours straight the day we got it. She loves the game but got VERY frustrated when we ran into a software glitch at th 17 th step -- one step away from making the coronation! My suggestion to avoid this is to make sure you use the log the woodsman gives you to cross the muddy patch to collect the toolbox. My daughter did not and she was unable to give the snacks she collected later to the sheep herder. This prevented her from continuing on in the game. I think the log and the snacks must hold the same spot on the ribbon bar. I played the game with her under a different sign on name and had no problem when we used the log to cross the mud. 5 stars (How to get past the singing bug) - If you are seeing the error message "LipMgr.play -> EzDlgNone has loaded no lip synch data" on the singer recruiting task, here's how to get past it: This bug will not occur if you only give a flower to the correct singers (the ones who sing note patterns that match Erika's). Watch the little display in the lower right of the screen and sing any of the three patterns shown at the top. When the correct singers respond, their note pattern will appear below Erika's. Give them a flower. But if the singer is bad, only gray circles will appear. If you give a bad singer a flower, you will often hit the bug. So just make sure your daughter doesn't try to recruit the bad singers, and all should be well. Except for this bug, the game is a lot of fun. My 5 year old loves it, and was able to play the entire game with almost no help. ...

5 stars (Game that's fun for kids AND adults!!!) - I am 22 and have 2 young sisters, who are 5 and 3. My mom bought them this game and showed it to me because I am interested in fashion design. I played it for about 4 hours!! It is so much fun! I am not a huge Barbie fan (after all, I'm a big kid now), but it is really a fun game. As far as other reviewers saying that this game is not educational, it is... Barbie Fashion Show challenges girls to follow directions (you get assignments from a "real" fashion designer during the game), and use their creativity. At the end, you even get to design your own runway (including lighting, poses and music) and take virtual snapshots of your show! I am bummed that it is only for PCs though, and that's my only complaint. 5 stars (Awesome!) - My daugters friend has the game. She played it once and toatally want it, even though she 12! It is a great game for girls who like designing outfits. My daugter says, "It is great fun!" 3 stars (My little girl) - I bought this game for my little girl. She wanted it because it had Barbie in it. That's how girls are today, they want Barbie everything. Well, I think that Barbie dhould have educational games. I mean, Barbie is a role model all around the world, so I think she needs to teach kids the importance of education. If, parents, your looking for something educational I wouldn't recomend this. However if you want your child to play a fun game with no education then I do recomend this game. ...

2 stars (Incredibly EASY game for toddler to play) - My daughter turned 4 in July 2005. I bought this September 16th, 2005. So my kid is just a few months past 4. She finished this game in less than an hour. This game is incredibly easy for any toddler who has played computer games before. The graphics are cute and the colors are vivid. My daughter did enjoy playing the game, but it really didn't offer any new challenges or teach her anything new. I would recommend this to a parent who has a child who has just learned to use the mouse and is just learning some simple concepts like "matching". This game would also be good to help a new computer user learn to use the mouse. Lots of navigation in this game with the mouse. 2 stars (Way Too Short) - My 5 year old daughter finished the entire game in 42 minutes. The activities in the game are very simple. She still plays it but it doesn't compare to Barbie as Princess and the Pauper, or Barbies Pet Rescue which are much much better, quite a bit longer, and more replayable. Mermaid adventure's music I thought was quite good and I enjoyed the clown fish jokes but other than that I thought the game was poor at best. 1 stars (Not worth the money) - We bought this game for my 6 year old daughter. She finished this game in less than an hour. There are only four levels and two "activities" per level. Its beyond easy. Total waste of money. Try something else. ...

5 stars (Fun game for young girls and Barbie fans...) - Gameboy games for young girls are hard to come by so we purchased this game for our young daughter for her 5th birthday. She is a big fan of princesses and adored the "Barbie Princess and the Pauper" gameboy game so this was a perfect fit for her. The game itself mirrors the gameplay and animation of the "Princess and the Pauper" game. In "Barbie Magic of Pegasus," Princess Annika has to find certain objects, uncover clues and defeat enemies to advance to the next level. My daughter (and even her older brother) has been playing this non-stop since she got it. I suppose this is the best compliment she - and I - can give this game. It is fun and not too difficult for a 5 year old to pick up and play. This game has since joined "Barbie Princess and the Pauper" and "Strawberry Shortcake" as her favorite Gameboy Games. I would recommend it for girls ages 4 to 12 and for anyone who loves Barbie or princesses. 5 stars (very creative) - this is an awsome game for 6-14 year olds to play. it has so much gameplay and the mY scene version included let kids make there my scene movies come true!!!! i love it and the graphics are great! it is long and its worth every penny! i love role play games! as in nintendogs but this is a simulation of a role play! over 40 hours of fun filled gaming and lots os challeng to help you through and enjoy it! DONT LISTEN TO OTHERS! 3 stars (Okay) - its okay i guess but its really short and really easy. my mom hates it and says it not one bit educational or fun! its has some amazing graphics though, and im crazy about barbie. but other than that it deserves 1 star. hope you think before you buy it. ...
