Heavy promotion for DS games could give girls the "gimmes."

Good game

I love the different things you can do and the way you can dress up. I loved playing it as a younger kid years ago and would still play it now if I could find it anywhere.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2):
Kids say (6):

After dressing your avatar and selecting your virtual home, you're free to zip around UBIWORLD'S four islands on a scooter -- but driving may be the most exciting thing you do. The site primarily serves as a big advertisement for game manufacturer Ubisoft's girl-themed video games for the Nintendo DS system -- and the product push quickly gets old.

Online interaction: Users can search for other friends who have already registered for the site by entering their name, but can't friend random strangers.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about how picking out outfits and putting on make-up can be fun -- but what are some other activities girls can do that are also fun?

  • Even if you really like clothes and accessories, why isn't it a good idea to put too much emphasis on how you -- or other people -- look?

  • Virtual worlds sometimes offer a ton of different activities and things to see. How should you behave online?

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
