What's It About?

As you would expect, BARBIE.COM is essentially an infomercial for Barbie products. Frankly, that's all you should use this site for since the rest of it is boring. No music, simple games that are way below the reading level required to understand how to play them, and bafflingly staid graphics.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 9 ):
Kids say ( 37 ):

Barbie.com won't hurt your kid, but it won't enlighten or entertain them much them, either. Not much makes sense on this site. Seems like a wasted opportunity given Barbie's eternal popularity.
