Toys and Games Reviews of DreamLife Superstar TV Plug-In GameCustomer Review: options don't work right; disappointing overall Summary: 1 Stars
My 8 year-old got this today. Between the two of us, it is very hard to understand. We can't figure out how to save her game; we were saving it as the manual said, but there is nothing saved next time we turn it on. Since she can't save it, she has to start over every time and can't seem to reach "star" status. My daughter was disappointed, thinking she'd be able to immediately be a star, on the red carpet but instead you have to "earn" it all. Conversations with friends are just written dialog on the screen. There are very few options regarding decorating your virtual bedroom (nothing like Webkinz, for example!). Also, the graphics are pretty bad Lastly, you never see your character except when you are in the closet (no pun intended) choosing clothes.
All in all, a big disappointment.
Customer Review: My 8-year-old daughter's review Summary: 5 Stars
I like this game because:
-You have to work hard to become a superstar.
-It's hard to make a living which makes it very fun and hard.
-It's fun because you can make your own friend.
-When you are finished with the game, you can look at a scrapbook of the game.
-It feels good when you're playing.
-Everything works very well. The graphics are cool.
-There are lots of stores you can go to and it's fun.
What I don't like about this game:
-You can't do the chores yourself, you just click on them and you get the money.
-When you go to a store, you don't go through the cash register, you just click to buy things.
I would recommend this to a friend!
Customer Review: Great Purchase Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this game for my Niece for Christmas. As soon as she opened it she wanted to hook it up and get started. We made her wait until everybody else opened their gifts and as soon as that was done she was busy getting hooked up. She played that game all night and when I called her the next day she was playing it again. It teaches her how to handle money. She is given so much money to buy clothes and do other activities. When I went to check on her Christmas night she was complaining because she wanted a sale before she would buy clothes. She hated spending the price that they wanted for clothes. I'm hoping this game will teach her how to budget and make smart choices with her money.
Customer Review: Good Gift for 9 yr old Summary: 4 Stars
My daughter received this from her brother for Christmas. She has played previous versions at friends' houses and still found this one entertaining.
Pros - The system is easy to set up and use. She was able to begin playing with little to no help. The graphics are improved from previous versions. There is more to do inside the game so she didn't make it through all the options in one sitting.
Cons - I don't think children much older than 9-10 will enjoy this game long term. Children used to gaming interactions (ie Sims) may find the friend and job interaction overly simplistic.
Customer Review: If you liked Dream LIfe, You'll Love Dream Life Superstar!~ Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 9 year old niece and she can't seem to get enough of it. She is totally hooked on this game. I read the other review and we did not experience any of the same problems that reviewer was having. The other reviewer, complained that you have to "earn" your Superstar status. Well, hello, that is the challenge of this game. If it came easy how fun would that be. As with everything in life, you generally have to work hard to get what you want & to earn it! That gives this toy it's educational value!
