What Parents Need to Know
This review of Barbie iDesign Ultimate Stylist CD-Rom Game was written by Jinny Gudmundsen
Parents need to know that this game takes traditional Barbie doll play and makes it high-tech. By using scannable cards, kids can play both on the computer and away from it. Because the cards can be traded and more are available in add-ons packs, parents may get pressure to buy the add-on packs. The card games within the software encourage kids to look at fashion in different ways in terms of what goes together and why.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the role of fashion in society. Should you judge people by what they wear? Are there times when wearing the wrong outfit can be inappropriate? What do the clothes you wear say about you? Does this game make you want to dress up more? Shop more? Or better coordinate what's already in your closet?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Barbie iDesign takes traditional doll play and turns it into a creative hi-tech experience. The card play adds excitement to fashion role-playing and encourages girls to play together while using the computer. The system is reasonably priced at $29.99 for the software, 60 cards, and the vinyl case, but parents will want to know that there are 200 cards available and that the add-on Fashion Cards come in packs of nine scannable cards for $4.99.
